Singapore shares end lower after Middle East conflict intensifies; STI down 1.3%
Singapore stocks closed lower on Wednesday (Jun 10).
This came after a wave of new strikes by the US against Iran, which led to retaliatory attacks by Iran on American bases in the Gulf, Reuters reported.
The Straits Times Index (STI) lost 1.3 per cent or 64.4 points to finish at 4,958.85; it fell as much as 1.7 per cent earlier in the day.
Wilmar International : F34 +3.24% led the gainers on the blue-chip barometer, rising 3.2 per cent or S$0.11 to S$3.50.
The worst performer among the STI’s constituents was Thai Beverage : Y92 -3.41%, which sank 3.4 per cent or S$0.015 to S$0.425.
The local banks all ended lower.
DBS : D05 -3.03% fell 3 per cent or S$1.93 to S$61.83, after falling as low as S$61.63 in the first hour of trading. OCBC : O39 -2.39% closed 2.4 per cent or S$0.57 lower at S$23.23, and UOB : U11 -1.3% was down 1.3 per cent or S$0.50 at S$37.88.
Major technology stocks such as AEM : AWX -6.77% in Singapore fell as well, tracking Wall Street’s reversal after two days of gains.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices fell on Tuesday as a rebound in technology shares faded and investors continued rotating out of tech stocks.
Across the broader market, gainers trailed losers 260 to 337, after 1.5 billion securities worth S$2.6 billion changed hands.
Key regional indices were mixed.
Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index lost 0.6 per cent, Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell 1.9 per cent and South Korea’s Kospi was down 4.5 per cent. Meanwhile, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI advanced 0.2 per cent.

Markets are showing a massive "change in character" today. In this morning's Trading Game Plan, Chief Market Strategist Gareth Soloway breaks down the newly released CPI economic data. While inflation is still north of 4% year-over-year, core month-over-month came in cool at 0.2% (vs. 0.3% expected). The markets are breathing a sigh of relief — but the charts are telling a completely different story.
For the first time since the massive rally began in late March 2026, both the S&P 500 and NASDAQ have put in a new lower low. Is this the start of a major macro downtrend? Gareth maps out the exact technical levels you need to watch, plus why oil is completely ignoring the escalating US-Iran conflict in the Strait of Hormuz and how the impending midterm elections are already priced in.

Annual CPI inflation surges to 4.2% in May, the highest level since 2023, as energy prices rise
US consumer prices rose 4.2% in May, in the hottest annual reading since April 2023, as surging energy costs pushed inflation higher more than three months into a war with Iran.

Stocks slide as techs falter amid surging inflation
US stocks moved sharply lower on Wednesday after consumer inflation soared to its highest level in three years and renewed US-Iran military clashes cast doubt on the odds for peace talks.
The focus Wednesday was on May's CPI report, which showed consumer prices rose at the fastest rate since May 2023. The 4.2% annual rise in CPI inflation was in line with expectations; however, the hot reading may boost bets that the Federal Reserve will hike interest rates this year.
Energy prices remained the biggest driver of inflation, amid the protracted war with Iran.
Tensions between the US and Iran ramped back up, with the two sides trading strikes overnight after the downing of an Apache helicopter.
President Trump said on Wednesday that Iran has "taken too long" to negotiate and would have to "pay the price." Later, he told reporters that the US would “hit” Iran “very hard” today. Oil prices jumped.
The tech sector is taking another bruising as the rotation out of the AI trade continues, as concerns around OpenAI (OPAI.PVT) and Anthropic's (ANTH.PVT) mega-IPOs build. Eyes are now on Oracle (ORCL) results due after market close, as the company counts OpenAI as a customer. Details of its cloud business are in focus, amid fluctuations in the AI trade.
The main event of the week lands on Friday, with the expected IPO of Elon Musk's SpaceX (SPCX). Its debut is expected to mark the largest public offering in history.

June 10 (Reuters) - The major U.S. stock indexes ended more than 1% lower on Wednesday, with chipmaker shares extending recent declines and with renewed tensions between the U.S. and Iran adding to investor uncertainty.
