Singapore Banks Likely Sustained Noninterest Income Strength in 3Q -- Market Talk

Dow Jones10-22

0807 GMT - Singapore banks likely sustained strength in noninterest income for 3Q, says Jayden Vantarakis, Macquarie Capital's head of Asean and Singapore research, in a note. Vantarakis expects DBS, UOB and OCBC to report a 35% on-year increase in wealth fees. U.S. bank earnings, which are usually a good indicator of Singapore banks' trading income, point to a strong base for 3Q, Vantarakis says. However, it is too early to see the impact of Fed rate cuts, Vantarakis adds. OCBC's downward momentum on net interest margin may have extended into 3Q, Macquarie says. (amanda.lee@wsj.com)
