Singapore shares closed 1.0 percent lower on Wednesday in volatile trade after touching new highs in the early session, dealers said. In morning trade, blue chip buying pushed the index to a new high of 3,845.75 before it gave up the gains as profit-taking set in.
The Straits Times Index closed down 39.21 points at 3,754.62, off its record close of 3,793.83 on Tuesday -- the third record close since Thursday. Volume totalled 3.31 billion shares worth 3.69 billion dollars (2.49 billion US).
Losers led gainers 684 to 251, with 693 issues unchanged. "Looking ahead we can expect volatility to continue as our local market is in somewhat uncharted territory breaking through the 3,800 point barrier throughout intraday," DMG and Partners Securities said in a note to clients.
