DO YOU believe in miracles? You should. Stocks worldwide, including those in Singapore’s benchmark Straits Times Index (STI), have just reaped the huge spoils of one – and they aren’t done climbing.

Indeed, the stock market didn’t disappoint. Sector skew and overblown China-fretting limited STI gains, but even it bounced off October’s low.
