Singapore’s Straits Times Index declined 0.8% to 0.8% to 3,212.10 at the close, the lowest since Nov. 2. The stock market will be shut tomorrow for a holiday. Almost three stocks fell for each that rose in the benchmark equity index of 30 companies.

Shares on the measure trade at an average 15.7 times estimated earnings, compared with about 17.4 times at the beginning of the year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The following shares were among the most active in the market. 
 
China Angel Food (CANG SP), a maker and distributor of confectionary and food products, surged 10% to 16.5 cents. The company said its controlling shareholder Fine Ally Group has offered to buy the rest of the company at 17 cents a share.
