SE Asia Stocks-Singapore leads regional decline; oil dents sentiment
BANGKOK, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Southeast Asian stock markets ended mixed on Wednesday, with the Singapore benchmark suffering its worst drop in more than a month after the release of fourth-quarter economic data, while volatility in global oil prices dented risk sentiment in Asia. The Straits Times Index dropped 1.95 percent, its biggest single-day loss since Jan. 20, after better-than-expected economic growth in the fourth quarter, but the key manufacturing sector showed signs of weakness.
