Singapore stocks slip on Monday; STI down 0.6%

SINGAPORE'S benchmark Straits Times Index slipped on Monday, extending last week's decline to finish at 2,973.65, down 0.6 per cent or 17.88 points.

CapitaLand was the worst performer on the STI, falling S$0.13 or 3.8 per cent to S$3.27, with the counter among the most heavily traded in terms of value. This came after the property giant said on Friday it expects to report a loss for the full year ended Dec 31, 2020 due to the impact from revaluations and impairments.

Just four STI counters managed gains on Monday, including Hongkong Land, Keppel DC Reit and Jardine Cycle & Carriage. At the top of the STI performance table was Wilmar International, which rose 1.8 per cent to S$5.53. DBS Group Research on Thursday said the company deserves a higher valuation multiple than its crude palm oil plantation peers, with a raised target price of S$6.67.

Shares of mainboard-listed retailer FJ Benjamin Holdings were up 25 per cent on Monday to two Singapore cents. It announced on Sunday that it has obtained in-principle approval from the SGX to transfer to the Catalist board.
