Singapore shares dipped today amid a mixed session in Asia.

The Straits Times Index was down 0.05% at 4,241.38 points at 2.28pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$789.47M seen in the broader market.

In terms of counters to watch for today, we have Prudential, after the firm’s new business profit rose to US$1.26 billion for its first half ended Jun 30, from US$1.12 billion in the year-ago period. 

Elsewhere, from how US President Donald Trump’s 50% tariffs on Indian goods came into effect today, to a lookahead to Nvidia’s earnings due overnight, more international and corporate headlines remained in focus.

On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Jeremy Tan, CEO, Tiger Fund Management.

Markets have been moving cautiously, and November was no exception. Investors appear to be in a holding pattern, waiting for clearer signals before making major moves. The latest State Street Institutional Investor Indicators shed light on this trend: risk appetite dipped slightly, equity allocations remain solid, cash is steady, and fixed income hasn’t seen the usual safe-haven inflows.

What’s driving this cautious yet steady behaviour? Are investors diversifying globally, or sticking to familiar US tech bets? And what does this mean for markets in Asia and beyond?

On Wealth Tracker, Nadiah Koh speaks with Dwyfor Evans, Head of APAC Macro Strategy at State Street Markets, to find out more.

For families of children with Cerebral Visual Impairment, finding the right therapy can feel overwhelming — and too often, out of reach. CVI is complex, highly individual, and needs personalised support during a critical window of neuroplasticity.

Vision Nanny is opening doors for families who were once left behind by giving parents and educators access to customisable, CVI-specific activities.
