Singapore Stocks-May open higher; CapitaLand in focus
SINGAPORE, Dec 7 (Reuters) - Singapore shares may open
higher on Wednesday, following gains on Wall Street overnight as
investors bet European leaders would take strong steps this week
to stem the region's debt crisis.
Southeast Asia's largest property developer CapitaLand Ltd
may be in focus after it said it had sold a 100
percent stake in a China unit for about S$173 million ($134.8
million).
