● Gainers edge out losers 294 to 274 on strong trade ● DBS is STI's top gainer; OCBC and UOB also in the black ● South Korea, HK, Japan and Australia all end higher

- Yong lun Yuan

A record-setting session on Wall Street overnight failed to inspire local investors, who seemed more concerned about banking profits from the bourse's stellar run of late.

The mood change did not inflict much damage, however, with the Straits Times Index (STI) down just 0.2 per cent, or 8.42 points, to 3,624.76 on Sept 20, with gainers edging out losers 294 to 274 on strong trade of 1.7 billion securities worth $2.3 billion.
