Singapore shares opened higher today as traders took to the sidelines ahead of the US Thanksgiving holiday.

As at 12 pm, the Straits Times Index (STI) was up 0.2 per cent at 3,714.78 points after 430.8 million securities changed hands in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch, we have DBS, because DBS and Japan Finance Corporation (JFC) signed a memorandum of understanding to help Japanese small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) expand into six markets in Asia.

Elsewhere, from how real incomes in Singapore made a rebound in 2024, to outlook for Japanese automakers Nissan and Toyota as the firms mull possible tariffs when US President-elect Donald Trump takes office next year – more economic and corporate headlines remain in focus.

On Market View, The Evening Runway’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian dived into the details with David Chow, Director Azure Capital.
