Straits Times Index falls as investors shed blue chips

sg.news.yahoo.com

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore shares were weak by midday on Wednesday, as Wall Street's dive hurt upbeat sentiment and sparked a blue chip-led selloff, but some defensives attracted buying.

"We are looking for the market to take a bit of a breather after the strong run-up. We actually need valuations to catch up a bit to support these sort of share prices," said Sheree Tan, chief investment officer of Asia-Pacific equities at Morley Fund Management, which manages 1.5 billion pounds in the region.

"Liquidity is plentiful so we are not looking for a very significant correction, just some profit-taking and consolidation for a while."
