Singapore shares rose today, breaking above the 4,200 point mark at one point. 

The Straits Times Index was up 0.34% at 4,203.87 points at 11.58am Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$680.51M seen in the broader market. 

In terms of companies to watch, we have Lum Chang Creations, after the company made its trading debut on the Catalist board of the Singapore Exchange today under the trading name “Lum Chang Creat” and trading code “LCC”. 

Elsewhere, from Hong Kong topping 25,000 points for the first time in three years, to movements relating to the Japanese yen after Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba vowed to stay on even after another election defeat – more international headlines remained in focus.

Plus – how Microsoft issued an alert about “active attacks” on server software used by government agencies and businesses to share documents within organisations, and recommended security updates that customers should apply immediately.

On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with David Kuo, Co-founder, The Smart Investor.
