Singapore shares rose today as all eyes remained on the global trade situation.

The Straits Times Index was up 0.34% at 3,884.08 points at 11.46am Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$639.05M in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch, we have Genting Singapore, after the company said its chief executive officer Tan Hee Teck will step down. The firm also announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March. 

Meanwhile, from SingPost’s shares plunging nearly 12 per cent this morning on the back of its result release, to Starbucks reportedly kicking off its process to sell stake in its China business – more corporate and international headlines remain in focus.
