What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

On October 15, 2026, Singapore stocks fell 0.4% as the Straits Times Index ended lower. Despite the regional decline, DFI Retail Group rose 2.2% on Singapore’s blue-chip index. The market weakness followed a sharp decline in global chip counters, which was linked to hotter-than-expected US inflation.
