Singapore shares were little moved as most Asian markets traded lower today.

The Straits Times Index was 0.04% in the green at 4,275.62 points at 2.39pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$791.57M seen in the broader market.

In terms of counters to watch, we have Singapore Post. The postal service provider said yesterday that it has named Mark Chong as its group chief executive officer, with his appointment effective Nov 1.

Elsewhere, from how Singapore factory output decreased 7.8 per cent year on year in August, missing expectations, to US President Donald Trump’s new tariffs on pharmaceuticals, trucks and furniture – more economic headlines remained in focus.

On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian dived into the key developments to watch for the day.
