Singapore shares slid to a one-week low, in line with other Asian bourses as weak manufacturing data from the United States, Europe and China fuelled concerns over the global economy.
By 0442 GMT, the benchmark Straits Times Index <.FTSTI> was down 0.4 percent at 2,818.63 points, but recovering from an intraday low of 2,798.84.
Rig builder Sembcorp Marine Ltd was the largest loser on the index, retreating 2.2 percent to S$4.54 as weak oil prices also hurt sentiment. Larger rival Keppel Corp Ltd lost 1.5 percent at S$10.06.
