STI down 1.4% at 2,842.18 at midday

Singapore stocks were trading lower at noon, despite a relatively positive GDP figure for the fourth quarter published in the early morning. This was however in line with other Asian markets.

As at 12.02pm, the benchmark Straits Times Index was down 1.41% or 40.55 points to 2,842.18.

In the broader market, 423.4 million shares valued at $329.6 million were traded. Losers beat gainers 187 to 111.

Only three component stocks in the STI were trading in positive territory. SIA Engineering was up 0.27% at $3.71, Keppel Corp was up 0.31% at $6.53 while SATS gained 1.82% to $3.91.

Among the top movers were Noble Group which traded flat at 40 cents with 16.2 million shares exchanging hands. Shares of the commodity trader fell sharply in the last week of the year after its credit rating was downgraded.

KrisEnergy rose 6% to 17.6 cents after updating the market on production levels. The upstream oil and gas company said production of oil and gas stood at 19,935 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) as at Jan 1, 2016 from four fields in the Gulf of Thailand and one onshore gas field in Bangladesh.
