STI slightly down by midday led by Wilmar

Singapore shares were slightly down by midday on Wednesday, erasing earlier gains, with palm oil firm Wilmar International among the worst performing stocks after its third-quarter earnings missed expectations, reported Reuters.

At 1 p,m,, the Straits Times Index was 0.1% or 1.59 points lower at 2,864.93. Some 710.4 million shares worth $638 million were traded, compared with 756.2 million shares worth $578.1 million on Tuesday.

Investors remained cautious because of lingering concerns that the European debt crisis was far from being resolved.
