[Miser]Hi Tigers,Singapore equities are in a selective, range-bound phase, with the $Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$ hovering near cycle highs and banks accounting for over 40% of index earnings. Elevated rates are still doing the heavy lifting for net interest margins and 4–6% dividend yields, while individual stock performance now hinges less on beta and more on earnings visibility, balance-sheet strength, and confidence in capital returns.Current market focus remains on banks, high-dividend defensives, and mid-cap range or breakout setups, where cash flow stability, valuation support, and options-friendly volatility allow investors to balance income generation with controlled upside participation.
