SINGAPORE, March 6 (Reuters) - Several buildings in Singapore's financial district were evacuated on Tuesday after tremors from an earthquake in neighbouring Indonesia were felt in the city-state, making tall buildings sway.

Traders said there was little or no impact on financial markets trading.

In the Suntec City office and shopping complex, where Swiss bank UBS <UBSN.VX> is based, several companies evacuated, witnesses said.
