Singapore equities began the day in negative territory, tracking losses in global markets last Friday.

In early trade, the Straits Times Index (STI) fell 0.3 per cent to 3,790.51 points after 36.9 million securities changed hands in the broader market.

In terms of counters to watch, we have Stoneweg E-Reit, after it received a “BBB-” long-term issuer credit rating from S&P Global Ratings. That’s on the expectation of stable operational performance and cash flow over the next two years. 

Elsewhere, from more on Chinese trade surplus soaring to a record last year ahead of US president-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House, to how TSMC is expected to report a 58% jump in Q4 profits on Thursday – more international and corporate headlines remain in focus.

Also on deck – a lookahead to the US banking sector with industry behemoths set to report mid-week.

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