Singapore shares opened higher today as traders took to the sidelines ahead of the US Thanksgiving holiday.

As at 12 pm, the Straits Times Index (STI) was up 0.2 per cent at 3,714.78 points after 430.8 million securities changed hands in the broader market.

Elsewhere, from how real incomes in Singapore made a rebound in 2024, to outlook for Japanese automakers Nissan and Toyota as the firms mull possible tariffs when US President-elect Donald Trump takes office next year – more economic and corporate headlines remain in focus.

Plus – more news on how Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg joined Donald Trump for dinner at his Mar-a-Lago estate yesterday.
