Singapore stocks opened muted today amid a mixed performance among index counters. That is in contrast with global markets, which finished higher overnight.

In early trade, the Straits Times Index (STI) headed down 0.04 per cent to 3,121.85 points, after 93.4 million securities changed hands in the broader market. 

In terms of companies to watch today, we have Keppel DC Reit. That’s as the Reit’s Chinese subsidiary has issued a letter of demand to its tenant of three data centres in Guangdong, to recover 48.3 million yuan (S$9.1 million) of late rentals, interests and taxes. 

Meanwhile from more on China’s home prices and retail activity to US regulators adding artificial intelligence to its list of potential financial system risks, more international headlines remain in focus.
