Singapore stocks opened stronger today following overnight gains on global markets as easing tensions in the Middle East boosted investor confidence.

In early trade, the Straits Times Index (STI) rose 1 per cent to 3,258.07 points after 76.6 million securities changed hands in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch, we have CapitaLand Ascendas Reit. Its manager yesterday reported a higher average rental rate of 16.9 per cent for leases renewed in the first quarter of 2024, up from 15.2 per cent in the previous quarter. 

Elsewhere, from a media report on how China acquired recently banned Nvidia chips in Super Micro and Dell servers, to bubble tea brand Chabaidao’s trading debut on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, more corporate and international headlines remain in focus.

On Market View, The Evening Runway’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Kelvin Wong, Senior Analyst, OANDA.
