STOCKS & SHARES OPEN 7 POINTS DOWN


Stocks & share prices in the local bourse opened lower with the key Straits Times Index at 3,227.11, down 7.26 points.

Some 64 million shares worth S$81 million were traded with 65 counters up and 42 down.


The weak opening comes despite a robust showing in Wall Street - two key US stock indices, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite, closed at record highs overnight on Thursday as stocks advanced for a sixth straight session buoyed by strong earnings reports from retailers.
