SINGAPORE
share prices finished 0.26 per cent lower on Monday, with the Straits
Times Index (STI) falling 7.29 points to 2,845.55 on lower trading
volumes.
The blue-chip index was dragged down as Brent crude oil futures
plummeted to as low as US$36.17 per barrel, their weakest level since
2004.
About 911.1 million shares worth S$626.1 million changed hands, which worked out to an average unit price of S$0.69 per share.
The most actively traded stock was engineering company Terratech,
which leapt 49 per cent or 1.9 Singapore cents to S$0.058 with 70.8
million shares changing hands. Other actives included Ezra Holdings, Rex
International and QT Vascular.
Though the STI slipped, smaller counters seem to have fared a bit
better. In the broad market, gainers outnumbered losers 205 to 171, or
about six up for every five down.
