Singapore shares dipped today as optimism surrounding cooling global trade tensions fizzled off. 

The Straits Times Index was down 0.18% at 3,884.83 points at about 12.17pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$500.29M in the broader market.

In terms of counters to watch today, we have Singapore Airlines. The company posted a 65 per cent rise in net profit to S$2 billion for the second half of FY2025 ended March. This lifted the group’s full-year net profit to a record S$2.8 billion.

Elsewhere, from Singapore’s key exports jumping 12.4 per cent on the year, to Walmart’s CEO warning of price increases caused by US President Donald Trump’s tariffs on imports – more economic and corporate headlines remained in focus.

Also on deck – a breakdown of Chinese big tech earnings out this week.
