As for the Straits Times Index, it dropped 6.42 on Friday to 3,525.19, which cut its gain for the week to 53 points or 1.5 per cent. Turnover amounted to 2.5 billion units worth S$1.4 billion and excluding warrants, the advance-decline score was 226-237.
Shares of the Singapore Exchange weakened S$0.19 to S$8.26 on volume of 3.9 million, whilst Keppel Corp lost S$0.19 at S$9.25 with 10 million traded.
