Singapore Stocks Eye Record High As Banking Sector Drives Market Rally
Singapore stocks are poised to hit a record high, buoyed by renewed optimism surrounding the city-state's banking sector, which is providing a boost to the wider market. On Thursday, the Straits Times Index (STI) rose by as much as 0.9%, putting it on track to surpass its previous record closing price from October 2007. DBS Group Holdings Ltd. was among the leading advancers, climbing almost 2% in the morning session.
新加坡股票有望觸及創紀錄高點,受到市場對該城市國家銀行業的 renewed optimism 提振,進而提振更廣泛的市場。週四,海峽時報指數(STI)上漲高達0.9%,有望超過其2007年10月的前記錄收盤價。星展集團控股有限公司是領漲者之一,上午股價幾乎上漲了2%。
The recent rally has been fuelled by the performance of Singapore's banking stocks, with analysts noting that the lenders have managed to maintain profitability despite expectations of lower interest rates. Investors are also being drawn to the banks' stable dividend payouts.
最近的反彈受新加坡銀行股表現的推動,分析人士指出,儘管預計利率將下降,但銀行仍設法保持盈利能力。投資者也被銀行穩定的股息吸引。
So far this year, the STI has surged 18%, making it the best-performing stock market in Southeast Asia.
今年到目前爲止,海峽指數(STI)已經飆升了18%,成爲東南亞表現最佳的股票市場。
Jun Rong Yeap, a market strategist at IG Asia Pte, explained that although banks' net interest margins are narrowing, the pace has been gradual. He added that steady loan growth and effective deposit cost management have helped mitigate some of the challenges posed by interest rate fluctuations.
IG 亞太市場策略師葉俊榮解釋說,儘管銀行的淨利息差在縮小,但速度是逐漸的。他補充說,穩定的貸款增長和有效的存款成本管理有助於緩解利率波動帶來的一些挑戰。
Despite maintaining an unchanged policy in October, the Monetary Authority of Singapore is expected to eventually follow the global trend of easing, though this remains speculative.
儘管在十月維持政策不變,新加坡金融管理局預計最終會跟隨全球的寬鬆趨勢,儘管這仍然是推測。
Yeap also highlighted that much of the optimism stems from the ability of Singapore's major banks to generate non-interest income. "The momentum in wealth management activities continues to support overall performance, as the banks continue to enjoy strong inflows from the region," he said.
葉也強調,很大一部分樂觀情緒源自新加坡主要銀行產生非利息收入的能力。"财富管理活動的勢頭繼續支撐整體業績,銀行繼續享受來自該地區的強勁流入。"他說。
