THE Straits Times Index (STI) on Thursday suffered a fourth consecutive loss and its fifth loss in six sessions. It came in response to a drubbing sustained on Wall Street on Wednesday and it cut 35.38 points or 1.08 per cent off the STI, sending it to a four-month low of 3,228.71.
Turnover amounted to 1.7 billion units worth just over S$1 billion. Of the dollar value, S$605 million or 60.5 per cent came from trading of the 30 STI components.
US stocks on Wednesday tumbled 1.3-1.6 per cent, reportedly after the release of weak construction and manufacturing data.
