Singapore shares nudged higher today to track broader gains in Asia.

The Straits Times Index was up a marginal 0.03% at 3,895.48 points at 2.11pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$470.02M seen in the broader market.

In terms of counters to watch today, we have Singapore Post. The national postal service provider has placed 10 Housing & Development Board shophouses for sale and leaseback. 

Elsewhere, from DBS estimating that its economic value from the use of AI could surpass S$1 billion this year, to India’s aviation regulator warning Air India for breaching safety rules – more international and corporate headlines remain in focus. 

Also on deck – all about blind boxes and toys.  On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Benjamin Goh, Head of Research and Investor Education, SIAS.
