Singapore shares nudged higher today amid mixed trade in Asia.

The Straits Times index was up 0.47% at 4,530.36 points at 1.58pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$532.63M seen in the broader market.

In terms of counters to watch, we have OCBC, given how the firm’s mobile banking services were fully restored after a two-hour outage last night. 

Meanwhile, from how nominal wages in Singapore grew more slowly in 2025, to how core consumer inflation in Tokyo stayed well above the central bank’s 2 per cent target in November, more economic headlines remained 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.
