Singapore shares fell today as investors continue to mull developments out of the US.

The Straits Times Index was down 0.32% at 4,242.97 points at 2.38pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$832.01M seen in the broader market. 

In terms of counters to watch, we have Thomson Medical Group, after the healthcare provider yesterday announced its Johor Bay “mega project” in Malaysia. That is with a projected gross development value of over RM18 billion (S$5.5 billion). 

Meanwhile, headlines relating to the US continue to dominate the mind space of investors – including US President Donald Trump’s announcements on the firing of Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, and the possibility of additional tariffs on the US’ trading partners.
