Singapore shares started the day lower, after global markets ended the previous winning week on a muted note.

In early trade, the Straits Times Index (STI) headed down 0.2 per cent to 3,240.71 points after 92 million securities changed hands in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch for today, we have  ESR Logos Reit. The Reit’s manager had on Friday said that its proposed divestment of seven non-core assets is in line with its strategy. It also dismissed “speculation or insinuation” of financial distress. 

Elsewhere, from Singapore’s key export numbers to S-Reit earnings and to China’s GDP figures, more economic and corporate news are on the agenda.
