IT was a befitting start to a short trading week in Singapore ahead of the Vesak Day holiday closure on Tuesday with share prices making modest gains on the back of lacklustre trading amid a lack of leads on Monday.
The key Straits Times Index inched higher by 5.25 points or 0.15 per cent to end at 3,518.48 with some 1.29 billion shares worth S$885.5 million changing hands.
Elsewhere, regional bourses closed mixed with key benchmarks in Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea notching up gains while Malaysia, Australia and China finished lower.
