The Singapore stock market has finished lower in seven straight sessions, sinking more than 135 points or 4.4 percent along the way. The Straits Times Index now rests just beneath the 3,100-point plateau and it's predicted to open in the red again on Friday.

The global forecast for the Asian markets suggests further consolidation on worldwide recession fears. The European and U.S. markets finished with deep losses and the Asian bourse are also tipped to open in the red.

The STI finished slightly lower on Thursday following mixed performances from the financial shares, property stocks and industrial issues.

For the day, the index slipped 8.42 points or 0.27 percent to finish at 3,097.43 after trading between 3,094.57 and 3,150.11. Volume was 1.74 billion shares worth 1.37 billion Singapore dollars. There were 314 decliners and 202 gainers.
