Singapore stocks opened nearly flat this morning as global markets recorded declines overnight. 

In early trade, the Straits Times Index (STI) fell 0.02 per cent to 3,926.83 points after 64.7 million securities changed hands in the broader market. 

In terms of counters to watch today, we have Seatrium after the offshore and marine specialist swung into the black with a net profit of S$120.9 million for the second half ended December to mark its first full-year profit on record.

Elsewhere, from what high-level discussions between Washington and Moscow on the war in Ukraine mean for investors, to Alibaba surging 11 per cent on the back of forecast-topping sales figures – more international and corporate 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.
