Revamped Straits Times Index (STI)

The revamped Straits Times Index (STI) as well as the other 18 new indices of the FTSE ST Index Series, expected to go live on 10 January 2008, will not be displayed on the poems internet platform with effect from 10 January 2008 until further notice. This is the same for all local broking houses in Singapore.

The reasons:

a) SGX will stop disseminating the STI through its normal Price Feed wef 10 January 2008.

b) The infrastructure required to distribute the STI through the trading system (industry-wide) will not be ready by 10 January 2008.

Meanwhile, the FTSE STI data can be obtained from other sources such as Reuters, Bloomberg, Nextview and the SGX website. Will update you on further development.
