STI up on the week amid NODX gains, HK travel bubble

SINGAPORE shares rebounded on Friday to end the week in the black, as investors reacted positively to the country's non-oil domestic exports (NODX) figures in September. The benchmark Straits Times Index (STI) climbed 0.37 per cent or 9.4 points to close at 2,533.02.

On Friday morning, Enterprise Singapore announced that the country's NODX rose 5.9 per cent year on year due mainly to an increase in electronics shipments from a year ago.
