Wealth Tracker: How investors are playing the ‘Squid Game’ in stock markets

Singapore equities ushered in the New Year on a high note, rising at the opening bell today.

In early trade, the Straits Times Index (STI) climbed 0.2 per cent to 3,793.33 points after 56.6 million securities changed hands in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch, we have Singapore Post after the postal services provider appointed former Singapore CEO Neo Su Yin as its group chief operating officer. 

Elsewhere, from how Singapore’s economy expanded 4 per cent year on year in 2024, to how Apple is offering rare discounts of up to 500 yuan on its latest iPhone models in China – more corporate and economic headlines remain in focus.

Also on the list – how a Tesla Cybertruck exploded and burst into flames yesterday outside the entrance of Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. 

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