Singapore shares dipped today as markets in the region traded mixed. 

The Straits Times Index was down 0.31% at 3,811.77 points at about 1.32pm Singapore time with a value turnover of S$569.50M seen in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch, we have Yangzijiang Financial Holding because Yangzijiang Financial is exploring the possibility of spinning off its maritime investment segment into a newly incorporated company to be listed separately on the mainboard of the Singapore Exchange. 

Meanwhile, from Singapore’s growth outlook turning more cautious in the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s twice-yearly Macroeconomic Report, to Airbus reaching a final agreement to take over some assets and sites from Spirit AeroSystems Holdings – more economic and corporate headlines remain in focus.

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

Covid-19 is making a quiet comeback in Singapore. 

After more than two years of living with the virus as an endemic threat, cases are once again on the rise—with over 14,000 infections reported in a single week, up sharply from the previous week.

What’s driving this resurgence? And as the virus continues to evolve, how can individuals and communities stay prepared without returning to old restrictions? Are the current vaccines enough?

Singapore shares inched higher today to track a positive session on Wall Street.

The Straits Times Index was up 0.17% at 3,882.64 points at about 2.31pm with a value turnover of S$578.38M seen in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch, we have DFI Retail Group. The group’s underlying profit for Q1 2025 fell 18 per cent compared with the same period a year ago, due to the divestment of Yonghui Superstores last year. 

Elsewhere, from China’s central bank cutting two key interest rates to spur the domestic economy, to the Reserve Bank of Australia slashing its main cash rate by 25 basis points – more economic and international headlines remain in focus. 

Also on deck – a look into Chinese battery giant CATL’s Hong Kong trading debut, with shares up 13 per cent from their listing price at the open today.

Wild swings, bold bets: April brought dramatic moves to Singapore’s stock market. 

Amid global trade tensions and a surprise US tariff shock, investors witnessed sharp sell-offs followed by powerful rebounds. 

Yet, while the volatility spooked many, retail investors in Singapore leaned in—injecting over S$1.1 billion into the market, with a clear focus on beaten-down financial and maritime stocks.
