Singapore shares opened lower today, tracking losses in the US market amid worries over tension and conflict in the Middle East.

In early trade, the Straits Times Index (STI) fell 0.9 per cent to 3,186.89 points after 69.5 million securities changed hands in the broader market. 

In terms of companies to watch, we have Elite Commercial Reit, after the manager said today that the Reit will expand its investment strategy to include other asset sectors in the UK in addition to its current focus on social infrastructure assets. 

Elsewhere from Singapore developer’s sales jumping to the highest level in four months in March, to China’ central bank leaving a key policy rate unchanged, more corporate and international headlines are in focus. 

Also on deck – Apple’s Tim Cook arrived in Vietnam, but what’s on his agenda?
