0336 GMT - DBS looks resilient and well-prepared for upcoming macro changes including U.S. rate cuts and recession risks, Jefferies Hong Kong analysts write in a note. DBS reported strong 2Q results with upgrades to its guidance across key areas, and with the macro environment having caused some share price correction, now is a good time to buy the stock, they write. DBS has cushioned against sensitivity toward interest rates more than its Hong Kong and Singapore peers, and shown commitment to growing dividend payouts, they add. Jefferies retains a buy rating on DBS and raises its price target to S$42.00 from S$41.00. Trading is closed for a holiday in Singapore. (kimberley.kao@wsj.com)
