0933 GMT - Singapore's FTSE Straits Times Index closed flat at 3592.42 ahead of the Fed's rate decision. "Expectations remain split between a 25 and 50 basis point cut, with U.S. retail sales data doing little to tilt the needle in favor of either move," Westpac says in a report. Mapletree Pan Asia Commercial Trust, CapitaLand Investment and CapitaLand Ascendas REIT fell by 2.0% each. Sembcorp Industries rose 2.1% and Yangzijiang Shipbuilding was 1.9% higher.
