Blue chips weak in early Singapore trade
Wednesday March 6, 10:35 AM

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore blue chips were weak on Wednesday morning, but there was no broad selling pressure, with tech stocks holding well on hopes of a demand recovery.

Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing and chip tester ST Assembly Test & Services gained despite closing lower in New York overnight.

Chartered rose 2.1 percent to S$4.88, and ST Assembly climbed up 3.4 percent to S$2.74 in moderate volumes.

"For the semiconductor side, I think it's a good time to sell into strength, take some profits, given the uncertain earnings outlook," said Leng Seng Choon, analyst of UOB Kay Hian.

On Tuesday, ING Barings upgraded Chartered to a buy on a view that the industry downturn had bottomed out.
