Singaporean stocks are on the verge of reclaiming their record high, largely due to their perception as a safe haven amid global market volatility stemming from the Iran war. The Straits Times Index has remained relatively stable since the conflict began, contrasting with a 4.9% decline in the MSCI Asian index. High dividend-paying stocks, such as DBS Group Holdings and Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp., make up more than 40% of the index, enhancing its appeal to investors. Analysts note that the strength of the Singapore dollar, supported by potential tightening measures from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, may further bolster stock market gains. Despite a recent underperformance compared to regional peers following a global relief rally, Singapore's market is expected to benefit from both safe-haven flows and domestic liquidity driven by ongoing market reforms and a construction boom.
