Singapore shares started trading in negative territory today despite overnight gains in global markets.

The Straits Times Index (STI) opened 0.1 per cent lower at 3,396.82 points after 25.9 million securities changed hands in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch for today, we have Wing Tai, after the property developer widened its net loss for the second half ended June to S$99.2 million, from S$50 million in the year-earlier period. 

Elsewhere from a last look at chip giant Nvidia before its earnings release later in the trading day, to how the NASDAQ is seeking the green light from regulators to launch and trade options on a Bitcoin index, more corporate and international headlines remain in focus.
