On Wednesday, the STI climbed 19.97 points, or 0.56%, to close at 3,595.66, with financials and industrial stocks showing mixed results. Key performers included DBS Group, which rose 1.17%, and Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation, up 1.21%. Meanwhile, CapitaLand Investment dropped 0.66%, and City Developments fell 1.12%.
