Singapore stocks began the day trading in positive territory, even as markets abroad experienced mixed results overnight.

In early trade, the Straits Times Index (STI) had risen 0.6 per cent to 3,817.67 points after 67.5 million securities changed hands in the broader market. 

In terms of companies to watch today, we have DBS, after the local bank announced yesterday that it has appointed Han Kwee Juan as head of institutional banking with effect from Jan 1, 2025. 

Elsewhere, from more on how China’s top leaders plan to loosen monetary policy and expand fiscal spending in 2025, to crypto volatility picking up – more international headlines remain in focus.  Also on deck – all about chocolates to satisfy your sweet tooth, given how Mondelez International is reportedly exploring an acquisition of Hershey. 

On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments of the day.
