SINGAPORE shares slipped early on Friday, with the Straits Times Index (STI) easing by 0.06 per cent, or 1.74 points, to 2,830.22 as at 9.04 am.

DBS Group Holdings slipped by 0.5 per cent, or eight Singapore cents, to S$14.96 as at 9.03 am amid concerns about the bank's exposure to the oil and gas sector following client Swiber Holdings' winding-up application.
