Singapore Straits Times Index opens down 2.7%

A 2.7% opening gap with no identified driver is the notable part here: the report offers no catalyst, so the move reads as sentiment or an external shock rather than company-specific news. That matters for anyone with exposure to Singapore's largest listed names, since a broad benchmark drop of this size spreads across sectors rather than isolating one. The open question is whether the decline reflects a spillover from overseas markets or something domestic that surfaces later in the session.
