Market Update: STI extends gains to fourth day

The Straits Times Index notched gains for the fourth straight day, closing at 2,906.97 up by 43.96 points or 1.54%.

Its Asian peers also ended Thursday trade with modest gains amid the commotion in the US Capitol as pro- Donald Trump protesters sought to overturn election results in dramatic fashion.

Among the top gainers were Singtel with 4.35% or S$0.10 gain, DBS up by 3.46% or a S$0.87 increase, and OCBC Bank which went higher by S$0.23 or 2.28%.

On to Wall Street, most US stocks shrugged off the protesters to end the day's trading in the green.

S&P 500 climbed by 55.65 points or 1.48% to 3,803.79 while the Dow Jones Industrial ended higher by 0.69% or 211.73 points at 31,041.13. The NASDAQ also stepped up by 2.56% or 326.69 points to 13,067.48.

Meanwhile, London's blue-chip index FTSE 100 also extended gains for fourth day up by 0.22% or 15.10 points at 6,856.96. FTSE 250 also ended higher by 0.18% or 36.70 points at 21,009.86.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
