Singapore shares began trading lower ahead of an imminent rate decision by the US Federal Reserve. 

The Straits Times Index (STI) opened 0.3 per cent lower at 3,811.33 points  after 27.3 million securities changed hands in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch, we have Singapore Airlines, after the firm said passenger traffic for the two carriers under the group was 8.3 per cent higher year on year in November 2024.

Elsewhere, from how the NASDAQ Composite closed at a record high, to more on US President-elect Donald Trump, Softbank and TikTok, more international and corporate headlines remain in focus.

On Market View, The Evening Runway’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Kelvin Wong, Senior Analyst, OANDA.
