ST Index ends week 4.6% higher at 3,198.65 points

Published Fri, Jan 11, 2019 · 09:50 PM

WHAT a difference a week makes. Much of the negativity that radiated through markets have mostly faded - for now.

Investors can thank optimism over trade talks between China and the US, and the Federal Reserve's dovish address for the lift in markets.

In Singapore, this contributed to the Straits Times Index (STI) ending the day up 15.14 points or 0.5 per cent to 3,198.65.
