Singapore shares dipped today as most Asian markets struggled for direction. The Straits Times Index fell 0.34% to 4,997.69 points at 2.57pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$1.29B seen in the broader market. In terms of counters to watch for today, we have DFI Retail Group. The group’s underlying profit from continuing operations, which excludes the impact of several divestments and closures, rose 49 per cent year on year in Q1 2026, supported by lower financing costs. Elsewhere, from how markets reacted to comments by US President Donald Trump that he would indefinitely extend the Iran ceasefire, to how SpaceX said that it has an agreement giving it the right to acquire artificial intelligence startup Cursor for US$60 billion later this year, more corporate and international headlines remained in focus.  Also on deck, what to know about US Fed chair nominee Kevin Warsh’s confirmation hearing.
