Singapore stocks: STI resumes Wednesday afternoon at 3,156.81, up 0.3% on day

THE local equities market, like its global peers, faced a relief rebound on Wednesday on news that Washington delayed tariffs on certain Chinese imports. While China's data dump for July disappointed, sentiment was little dented for market participants who have had to contend with recent political and economic worries.

Elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific, shares in China, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia and South Korea dropped while Australia was flat. The local banks reversed Tuesday's losses. DBS Group Holdings was up S$0.21 or 0.9 per cent at S$25.02. Meanwhile, OCBC Bank gained S$0.16 or 1.5 per cent to S$11.16 and United Overseas Bank added S$0.20 or 0.8 per cent to S$25.95.
