Singapore shares inched higher today to track a positive session on Wall Street.

The Straits Times Index was up 0.17% at 3,882.64 points at about 2.31pm with a value turnover of S$578.38M seen in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch, we have DFI Retail Group. The group’s underlying profit for Q1 2025 fell 18 per cent compared with the same period a year ago, due to the divestment of Yonghui Superstores last year. 

Elsewhere, from China’s central bank cutting two key interest rates to spur the domestic economy, to the Reserve Bank of Australia slashing its main cash rate by 25 basis points – more economic and international headlines remain in focus. 

Also on deck – a look into Chinese battery giant CATL’s Hong Kong trading debut, with shares up 13 per cent from their listing price at the open today. 

On Market View, The Evening Runway’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Kelvin Wong, Senior Analyst, OANDA.
