Singapore shares opened almost flat today, after US and Europe’s indices rose overnight.

In early trade, the Straits Times Index (STI) rose 0.02 per cent to 3,584.79 points after 26.8 million securities changed hands in the broader market.

In terms of counters to watch, we have CDL Hospitality Trusts. The stapled group’s net property income for the third quarter ended Sep 30 fell 6.8 per cent to S$36.3 million, from S$39 million in the previous corresponding period. 

Elsewhere, from volatilities ahead of the US election and the Bitcoin rising beyond US$70,000 for the first time since June, more international headlines remain in focus. 

Also on deck – the short term outlook for the Japanese currency and equities, as well as how the earnings season in Singapore and the US is shaping up thus far.
