Stock Market Updates for STI Singapore for 17 Feb


Market Review for STI: Share prices opened lower with the Straits Times Index down 8.32 points to 3,418.84.Singapore shares were still mostly lower as investors stayed on the sidelines after an early selloff. With Greece and its creditors still nowhere near a deal to address its funding needs, and amid a shortened trading week for the local market, investors are likely to lie low for the rest of today's session.
