SINGAPORE's benchmark Straits Times Index (STI) opened higher at
3,192.49 at 9.02am on Thursday, up 1.1 points or 0.03 per cent. This
followed a rise in US stocks overnight after some technology companies
posted better-than-expected earnings and the US services-industry data
suggested that the economy was on track for faster growth.
Some 57.6 million shares worth S$69.6 million changed hands. But losers slightly outnumbered gainers 68 to 66.
Top volume stocks in early morning trading included CapitaLand which
was up 1.9 per cent to S$3.23 at 9.02am, and Noble Group which rose 1.8
per cent to 57.5 cents. EMS Energy jumped 4.8 per cent to 2.2 cents
while Jason Holdings was up 6.9 per cent to 7.7 cents.
