Singapore shares rose today as investors look to kickstart the week on a positive note. 

The Straits Times Index rose 0.22% to 3,934.91 points at about 2.40pm (2.42pm), with a value turnover of S$634.08M in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch, we have DFI Retail Group after the firm announced today the divestment of its Singapore food business to South-east Asian retail conglomerate Macrovalue (Malaysia).

Elsewhere, from NIO's net loss deepening for the fourth quarter ended December, to Jack Ma-backed Ant Group reportedly using Chinese-made semiconductors to develop techniques to train AI models at a lower cost – more corporate and international headlines remain in focus. 

Also on deck – how Singapore’s inflation fell further in February.

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