Singapore Shares Rise 0.3% in Morning Trade -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04-18

0120 GMT - Singapore's FTSE Straits Times Index rises 0.3% to 3164.00 in morning trade, despite a negative lead from Wall Street overnight. Positive sentiment on the local bourse seems to be holding up after gains the prior session, even as dimming Fed rate-cuts hopes and inflation concerns weigh on other markets. Traders also seem to be shrugging off weaker-than-expect Singapore trade data on Wednesday, when the STI closed in the green. Among the best performers on the STI, Seatrium rises 1.3%, Singapore Technologies Engineering is up 1.0% and OCBC adds 0.7%. Meanwhile, top decliners include CapitaLand Investment, which falls 1.6%, and Hongkong Land, which is down 1.5%. (amanda.lee@wsj.com)
