HERE are several stocks to watch, based on latest news developments:

CDL Hospitality Trusts, which unveiled their third-quarter results on Tuesday morning. They posted an income available for distribution per stapled security - after deducting income retained for working capital - of 2.61 Singapore cents in the third-quarter of 2014, down slightly from 2.64 Singapore cents in the same period last year.

It will also recognise a foreign exchange loss of about US$24.6 million in the second quarter of financial year 2015, resulting from depreciation of the Brazilian real against the US dollar.
