Stocks in Singapore fell minimally on Oct 15 ahead of earnings results, led by Jardine Matheson and its subsidiary DFI Retail Group, while Chinese stocks fell sharply amid fading optimism on fiscal stimulus.

The benchmark Straits Times Index (STI) fell 0.01 per cent or 0.44 point to 3,595.47. Across the broader market, losers outnumbered gainers 350 to 235, after 1.7 billion securities worth $1.3 billion changed hands.
