$DBS(D05.SI)$ I had been DCAing and will continue to DCA every month. Definitely won’t sell even if it drops. SG banks always a safe investment.

If the banks are keeping up such a scorching pace because of US interest raise expectations, I am skeptical. Warsh has proven to be an unreliable operator, spouting all sorts of excuses to avoid hiking rates, because his dear Master Trump wants it lowered instead. At the last round, expectations were already rife that interest would go up because inflation in the USA was dire, especially with the Iran war. Then Warsh held interest rates steady, and the market did not meltdown from the failed gamble. Now the story is "hawkish outlooks, expectations of interest rates hike", same rubbish... so is the market going to collapse if this gamble blows up?

It seems a little scary that the banks keep making new highs, is there really so much good business to be done? Or is this pricing in the expectations that US Feds will be upping the interest rates? And that it will be good for the banks?

I continue to hold Singapore bank stocks, with DBS as one of my core long-term positions. The recent rally has been impressive, but I believe it's backed by solid fundamentals. Strong fee income, resilient loan growth, healthy capital, and attractive dividends keep me positive on the sector. For Q2 earnings, I'll be watching net interest margins, wealth management fees, and management's outlook. Even if NIM stays under pressure, stable credit quality and stronger fee income should continue to support earnings. Positive guidance on loan growth or capital returns would be another catalyst. I'm not taking profits simply because prices are at record highs. I'd rather stay invested, collect dividends, and let compounding work over time. As long as fundamentals remain intact, I believe Singapor
