Singapore Shares Edge Higher at Open on Hopes of Weakening Oil Prices

By

Singapore shares opened marginally higher on Monday on hopes of cooling of oil prices as Saudi Arabia aims to soon restart some flows through its main east-to-west pipeline, which was damaged in attacks last week.

The Straits Times Index edged 3.17 points higher, or 0.06%, to 5,659.280.

Investors are also keenly eyeing the US-China summit later this week for cues on trade and economic relations between the two economic giants.
