Singapore stocks appear unfazed by ECB’s decision; STI once again flat
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


SINGAPORE shares ended Friday (Jun 7) barely changed, after the European Central Bank (ECB) delivered its first rate cut since 2019.

The benchmark Straits Times Index was unchanged in percentage terms, moving down only 0.04 point to 3,330.77.

Across the broader market, winners beat losers 284 to 258, with 1.3 billion shares worth S$948.2 million traded over the day.

ECB on Thursday shaved three key interest rates, which apply across all 20 countries that use the euro, by a quarter-point to 3.75 per cent.

Mark Wall, chief European economist at Deutsche Bank, said the cut was expected but the statement gave “less guidance than might have been expected on what comes next”.

“This is not a central bank in a rush to ease policy,” he noted.
