Singapore’s Straits Times Index (STI) has broken  through to a new record high today.

The index traded as high as 3,912.38 points just after the open. Its last record was 3,906.16 points on Oct 10, 2007. 

In terms of companies to watch, we have DBS. The lender posted net profit for the fourth quarter that was 11 per cent higher compared to the year-ago period at S$2.52 billion, but it fell slightly short of expectations. 

Elsewhere, from US President Donald Trump ramping up his trade war by announcing huge tariffs on steel and aluminium imports, to how Japan’s current account surplus jumped to a record last year – more international headlines remain in focus.

On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Willie Keng, Founder, Dividend Titan.
