    AVIATION and tourism stocks in Singapore posted strong gains on Tuesday as investors received a dose of optimism from positive news of Covid-19 vaccines.

    The Straits Times Index climbed 3.67 per cent or 95.64 points to close at 2705 on Tuesday, with big gains coming from aviation and tourism-related stocks, while previous beneficiaries of the pandemic, such as glove and medical supply makers, were sharply down.
