Shares of NetLink NBN Trust were also among the top five actively traded counters in terms of value. The counter was flat at 96.5 Singapore cents as at 9.02am.

In the US, Wall Street stocks finished mostly higher on Wednesday, shrugging off sharp criticism from outgoing President Donald Trump that could veto the US$900 billion economic relief package passed by Congress. Investors focused on the possibility of a richer package rather than the risk of the stimulus bill dying off.

European shares booked yet another day of strong gains at Wednesday's close, spurred by signs of an imminent Brexit deal as talks between the European Union and Britain were said to be in their final stages. The pan-European Stoxx 600 index hit session highs on the news, and closed up 1.1 per cent in holiday-thinned trade.
