Singapore stocks fell this morning as all eyes remained on the heightened trade tensions between US and China. 

The Straits Times Index was down 0.31% at 3,882.17 points at 10.51am Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$318.86M seen in the broader market. 

In terms of counters to watch today, we have CapitaLand Investment. That’s after the manager of CapitaLand Malaysia Trust, a CapitaLand Investment subsidiary, yesterday proposed a placement of up to 435.4 million new units to raise gross cash proceeds of up to RM250 million (S$75.8 million). 

Meanwhile, from Chinese electric vehicle maker Nio posting a net loss of US$949.6 million for its first quarter of 2025 ended March, to how investors are reacting to higher US duties on steel and aluminium, more corporate and international headlines remain in focus.
