Singapore shares started the morning in positive territory today, following overnight gains in the US and Europe markets.

In early trade, the Straits Index Index (STI) headed up 0.2 per cent at 3,280.56 points as 44.8 million securities changed hands in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch, we have Keppel Corporation. That’s after the company said today that its private funds acquired the Bank of Korea’s Sogong Annex Facility, which is located in Seoul’s Central Business District.  

The move brings the conglomerate’s South Korean portfolio to 2.6 trillion won (S$2.6 billion).

Meanwhile, from China relaxing a cross-border financing rule to Apple testing ‘Apple GPT’ and Netflix missing quarterly revenue forecasts, more international headlines continue to be in focus.
