(RTTNews) - The Singapore stock market has finished higher in back-to-back sessions, collecting more than 45 points or 0.8 percent in that span. The Straits Times Index now sits just shy of the 5,730-point plateau although the rally may stall on Tuesday. The global forecast for the Asian markets is soft on a rebound in both crude oil prices and treasury yields. The European and U.S. markets were down and the Asian bourses are expected to follow suit. The STI finished modestly higher on Monday as gains from the financial shares and health stocks were dented by weakness from the property sector. For the day, the index added 17.90 points or 0.31 percent to finish at 5,729.02 after trading between 5,702.36 and 5,749.66.
