The blue-chip gauge of the Republic, the Straits Times Index (STI), soared to a new record of 4,395.21 points on Oct 2 after surging 72.09 points or 1.7 per cent, fuelled by the expectation of an interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve.

DBS also clocked a record high at $52.84, after rising 2.4 per cent. UOB shares increased 1.1 per cent to $35.07 and those of OCBC were up 1.5 per cent at $16.76.
