Straits Times Index opened lower on Tuesday, following the retreat in equity markets in Tokyo, the US and Europe after the Shanghai stock exchange suffered its largest one-day fall of 8.5 per cent in eight years on Monday which sparked concern about global economic growth.
STI ended 32.33 points or 0.98 % lower to 3281.09. Singapore stocks traded in negative territory at midday, in line with broad declines in other Asian markets. STI came off from its intra-day peak of 3306.63 and low of 3277.13.
Singapore's central bank will probably hold off from further monetary easing at its next policy review in October.

Important Factor for today:-
- European shares bounced in early trading on Tuesday after falling in the previous five sessions, with some strong company results and mergers and acquisitions news supporting the market.
- Chinese shares fell on Tuesday, as Beijing scrambled once again to prop up a stock market whose wild gyrations have heightened fears about the financial stability of the world's second biggest economy.
- Gold hovered near its weakest level since early 2010 on Tuesday, reflecting investor hesitation to bid up bullion amid growing expectations of a near-term hike in U.S. interest rates. The Federal Reserve begins a two-day meeting later in the day where policymakers are likely to signal that a rate hike later in the year is certain as the U.S. economy strengthens.
- Oil prices fell towards four-month lows on Tuesday, dropping for a fifth straight session on persistent worries about a global supply glut, while stock market sell-offs on both sides of the Pacific also rattled investor sentiment.
- Dollar firmed on Tuesday as cautious investors covered short positions ahead of the start of a two-day U.S. Federal Reserve meeting and as a continued slump in Chinese equity markets sapped appetite for riskier assets.
- Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Holdings Bhd (MHB) reported a 55% drop in second quarter net profit from a year earlier, on lower income from its oil and gas structure construction unit.
- Indonesia will impose a levy on palm oil exports starting on Thursday after weeks of delay, providing as much as 4.5 trillion rupiah this year to state coffers.
- Treasury yields decline for a fifth trading day on Monday, recording the longest losing streak since April 17, as investors seek safe assets during a global stock selloff led by a sharp decline in Chinese markets.
