Singapore shares rose today to track gains seen in regional markets. The Straits Times Index was up 0.39% at 4,628.44 points at 12.44pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$606.52M seen in the broader market. In terms of counters to watch, we have CapitaLand Investment, after the firm said Bursa-listed CapitaLand Malaysia Trust (CLMT) has agreed to buy five high-specification industrial facilities in the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone for RM220.8 million (S$69.2 million). Meanwhile, from how Singapore’s consumer prices held steady in November, to how Indonesia is set to sign a trade tariff agreement with the US in January, with US tariffs on Indonesian goods set at 19 per cent, more economic and international headlines remained in focus. Also on deck – how Nvidia reportedly told Chinese clients it aims to start shipping its second-most powerful AI chips to China before the Lunar New Year holiday in mid-February.
