STI Opens Higher As Risk Appetite Lifts Index Past 5,090

Singapore equities opened firmer on May 25, tracking positive sentiment in early trade as investors positioned for a steadier regional risk tone.

As of 9:02am, the Straits Times Index (STI) was up 24.71 points, or 0.49%, at 5,092.86, extending gains from its previous close of 5,068.15 on May 22.

The stronger open reflects cautious optimism across Asian markets, with buyers returning selectively to blue-chip counters amid relatively stable global cues.

Early momentum suggests continued consolidation above the 5,000-point psychological level, with investors watching for further direction from regional markets and macroeconomic signals later in the session.
