The Straits Times Index (STI) opened 0.2 per cent higher at 3,760.29 points after 49 million securities changed hands in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch today, we have Seatrium, after the offshore and marine specialist was awarded a contract by BP Exploration and Production for a deepwater new-build floating production unit (FPU) in the US Gulf of Mexico. 

Elsewhere, from how TSMC shares touched a record high to how Microsoft is reportedly adding internal and third-party artificial intelligence models to power its flagship AI product Microsoft 365 Copilot to diversify from OpenAI and reduce costs – more international and corporate headlines remain in focus.
