• STI falls 0.4%; losers lead 344 to 190 in broader market • DBS tops local index, up 2%; OCBC, UOB notch losses • Regional markets mixed after similar session on Wall Street

- Ranamita Chakraborty

The local share rally went slightly off the rails on Aug 8 as investors took stock of geopolitical uncertainties and looked ahead to corporate results.

The wary mood sent the Straits Times Index (STI) down 0.4 per cent or 18.32 points to 4,239.83, with losers trumping gainers 344 to 190 in the broader market on trade of 1.3 billion securities worth $2 billion.

Earnings reports took centre stage over broader themes such as tariffs and interest rates, said Singapore Exchange market strategist Geoff Howie.
