A 200-POINT rise in the Dow futures on Tuesday and the release of weak economic data in China helped the Straits Times Index (STI) bounce 45.47 points or 1.75 per cent to 2,638.47 as traders bet on Wall Street - which was closed on Monday for Martin Luther King Day - rebounding from Friday's devastating loss on Tuesday and more government stimulus in China.Turnover amounted to 1.24 billion units worth S$1.28 billion, the second highest so far in 2016 after S$1.6 billion was traded on Jan 7. Excluding warrants, the advance-decline score was 306/126.
Over in North Asia, both the Hang Seng and Shanghai Composite indices rebounded sharply from their recent losses while Europe opened in the black in the late afternoon.
News reports suggested the rise came after news that China's economic growth last quarter missed analysts' estimates, while industrial production, retail sales and fixed-asset investment all slowed at the end of 2015.
