Singapore stocks were pulled into positive territory today after global equities ended the previous week with record gains.

In early trade, the Straits Times Index (STI) was up 0.3 per cent at 3,145.39 points after 34.8 million securities changed hands in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch, we have Great Eastern and OCBC. That’s with a group of Great Eastern’s minority shareholders proposing to withhold directors’ fees, to change the share option schemes of employees, and to appoint an independent financial adviser. 

Elsewhere from China’s Premier Li Qiang being the first premier in three decades to skip holding a National People’s Congress briefing, to Japan’s Nikkei Index surpassing the 40,000 mark for the first time today, more international headlines are in focus.

On Market View, The Evening Runway’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with David Kuo, Co-founder, The Smart Investor.
