Singapore shares nudged higher early today, tracking a positive start in Asia. 

The Straits Times Index was up 0.11% at 4,311.95 points at 9.39am Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$266.90M seen in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch, we have CapitaLand Investment, given how CapitaLand China Trust (CLCT) will subscribe for 5 per cent of the 400 million initial public offering (IPO) units in CapitaLand Commercial C-Reit (CLCR), priced at 5.718 yuan per unit. 

Elsewhere, from how Tokyo rose on the back of Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s decision to resign, to how China’s export growth slowed to the weakest in six months as shipments to the US plunged at a faster rate – more international headlines remained in focus.

Plus – how US markets had reacted to a disappointing set of employment data out on Friday night.
 
On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with David Kuo, Co-founder, The Smart Investor.
