Market View: Samsung Electronics expects Q1 operating profit to jump over 10 fold yoy; Yellen visits China, concerns over China’s overproduction; Elon Musk gives away free blue checkmarks on ‘X’; Sing

Singapore shares fell at the opening bell this morning despite broader regional gains, tracking overnight losses in the US market. In early trade, the Straits Times Index (STI) shed 0.8 per cent to 3,209.11 points after 62.9 million securities changed hands in the broader market. In terms of companies to watch today, we have GuocoLand. Its joint venture with Hong Leong Holdings is the sole bidder for an Upper Thomson Road plot in the latest state tender that closed yesterday.  Elsewhere, from Samsung Electronics expecting a 10-fold rise in Q1 profit to Elon Musk now giving out the coveted blue checkmarks to users on social media X for free, more corporate and international headlines remain in focus.  On Market View, The Evening Runway’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Sunny Soh, Lead Technical Analyst (Capital Markets & Investor Education), SIAS.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
