Singapore Banks Gain from Renewed Investor Interest
Singapore Banks Benefit from Renewed Investor Interest
According to RHB Research analysts, Singapore banks are benefiting from renewed investor interest amid fewer Fed rate cut expectations, continued strong wealth momentum, and fee income generation.
Limited Impact from Middle East Conflict
DBS Group, United Overseas Bank, and Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. believe the first-order impact from the Middle East conflict will be limited as their direct exposure is not significant. However, second- and third-order effects are more difficult to gauge.
Dividend and Capital Commitments
Despite uncertainties, all three banks reaffirmed their dividend and capital return commitments. RHB raised its rating for Singapore's banking sector to overweight from neutral, pegging OCBC and DBS as top picks.
