It was not a knockout performance on Sept 13, but the Straits Times Index (STI) did manage to add 6.1 points, or 0.2 per cent, to 3,562.65, with gainers outstripping losers 346 to 189 on solid trade of 1.1 billion securities worth $1.4 billion.

The rally over the past four days drove the STI to a gain of 3.1 per cent for the week, leaving it up 10 per cent in 2024 and on track for its best year since 2017.
