Singapore shares dipped today as equities in the region traded mixed. 

The Straits Times Index was down 0.19% at 4,003.05 points at 12.29pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$529.27M seen in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch, we have Seatrium, because the group has secured a floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) conversion contract from energy company Kinetics. 

The project will commence in the third quarter of 2025 and involves the conversion of a liquefied natural gas carrier into an FSRU named LNGT Turkiye. 

Elsewhere, from market participant’s reactions to a trade deal reached between the US and Vietnam, to how the Trump administration lifted some export license requirements for chip design software sales in China, more international headlines remained in focus.

On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian dived into the details with Terence Wong, CEO, Azure Capital.
