Singapore shares began the day trading in positive territory as markets abroad mostly closed higher. 

In early trade, the Straits Times Index (STI) was up 0.1 per cent at 3,835.89 points after 29.7 million securities changed hands in the broader market.

In terms of counters to watch today, we have ST Engineering, after the technology and engineering group announced yesterday that it secured S$4.3 billion in new contracts in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Elsewhere, from what to expect ahead of the much anticipated US non farm payrolls report, to how gold is set to register its sixth successive weekly gain, more international headlines remain in focus. 

On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Benjamin Goh, Head of Research and Investor Education, SIAS.
