Singapore shares started the week in positive territory following a mixed showing in global markets overnight. 

In early trade, the Straits Times Index (STI) rose 0.1 per cent to 3,296.84 points after 28.9 million securities changed hands in the broader market. 

In terms of companies to watch for today, we have OUE Healthcare. That’s after the Catalist-listed healthcare group posted earnings of S$1.8 million for the first half of the year ended June. 

Elsewhere from Singapore airlines planning to hike frequencies of its flight services to key destinations to unit holders of Sabana Reit voting to remove its manager – more corporate headlines are in store. 

Also on the table – Warner Bro’s Barbie movie reaching US$1 billion at the box office to Apple seeing US$130 billion erased from its market valuation.
