In terms of counters to watch, we have CNMC Goldmine after gold and silver saw their steepest sell-off in years, with investors looking to lock their profits in.
Elsewhere, from how a DBS’ Singapore report said the STI could rise to nearly 10,000 points by 2040, to how Airbus opened a second assembly line in China, more financial and corporate headlines remained in focus.
