• US investors' fears over trade war recede, at least for now • In local market, gainers outstrip losers 352 to 186 • Australia's ASX 200 posts its second-best finish on record

- Tay Peck Gek and Romaine Chan

Wall Street's overnight rally on the back of fading concerns about the economic threat posed by US President Donald Trump's tariffs helped local shares head north on Feb 6.

The warily optimistic mood left the Straits Times Index (STI) up 0.4 per cent or 15.05 points at 3,830.42, with gainers outstripping losers 352 to 186 after 1.3 billion shares worth $1.1 billion changed hands.

Wall Street set the stage for the local rally, mild as it was.
