2026-01-23 03:21 By Chusnul Chotimah 1 min. read

The STI rose 48 points, or 1.5%, to a record high of 4,895 in Friday morning trading, extending gains from the previous session, following an extended rebound on Wall Street for a second session amid upbeat US economic data and easing geopolitical tensions.

Solid macroeconomic data continued to lift sentiment, with preliminary figures showing that the economy grew 4.8% last year, accelerating from 2024.

Meanwhile, non-oil domestic exports rose 4.8% in 2025, exceeding official forecasts of around 2.5%.

However, traders looked ahead to the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s quarterly monetary policy statement next week for policy guidance, while also awaiting December inflation data later today, with the market expecting it to stand at 1.2%.

Consumer and financial sectors mainly drove the index, with notable gains from United Overseas Bank (3.6%), Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp (2.6%), CapitaLand Investment (1.3%), Hongkong Land Holdings (1.2%), and Keppel (1.0%).

STI Crosses 5,800 Mark, Tracks Wall Street Higher
Singapore stocks rose 55 points, or 1.0%, to a new record high of 5,803 around noon on Friday, up for the third straight session and tracking an upbeat session on Wall Street overnight amid easing US Treasury yields. The broader index crossed the 5,800 level for the first time, mainly buoyed by gains in communication, non-energy minerals, and finance. However, rising oil prices capped the gains amid heightened inflation concerns and reinforced expectations of an interest rate hike amid escalating Middle East tensions. Traders also anticipated the release of Singapore’s retail sales figures for July and US jobs data due later today. Caution was also building ahead of the release of China’s consumer and producer prices, as well as trade data due next week. Among early gainers were Hong Kong Land (4.2%), Yanzijiang Shipbuilding (3.6%), City Developments (2.4%), OCBC (1.2%), and UOB (1.1%). For the week, the index is heading for a 1.8% rise.
