Singapore stocks struggled to advance today following a mixed performance in global equity markets.

In early trade, the Straits Times Index (STI) fell 0.1 per cent to 3,251.48 points after 68.9 million securities changed hands in the broader market. 

In terms of companies to watch, we have Singapore Airlines, after the national carrier announced its June operating results last evening. The group carried 2.9 million passengers on a group level in June, up 50.4 per cent from a year ago. 

Elsewhere, from US chip companies and Biden administration officials discussing its China chip policy to Australian developer Lendlease to cut 740 jobs globally, more international and corporate news are in focus.
