Market Review for STI:
Share prices opened higher with the Straits Times Index up 6.93
points to 3,428.23. Shares were little changed as investors opted to
wait for Federal Reserve head Janet Yellen's testimony before
Congress tonight. While markets expect the Fed to raise interest
rates this year, concerns are mounting that higher borrowing costs
might put the US economy at risk at a time when central banks
worldwide are easing policy to fight deflation and sluggish growth.
