DBS Forecast: SGD = USD by 2040! Could SG Become Next “Safe Haven” Hub?
DBS Group Research just dropped a bold projection — by 2040, Singapore’s GDP could double, $Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$ may hit 10,000, and the Singapore dollar (SGD) could reach parity with the US dollar.According to the report, Singapore’s real GDP is expected to grow at 2.3% annually over the next 15 years — outpacing most developed economies. Strong policy discipline, safe-haven capital inflows, steady productivity gains, and persistent current account surpluses could all drive the SGD’s long-term appreciation.But here’s the catch:If USD continues to weaken, parity with SGD could also mean USD/CNY falls from 7 to 6, potentially pushing gold prices even higher. ✨💭 Discussion:1️⃣ Do you believe SGD can really reach parity with USD by 2040?2️⃣

🧠 Beyond “Dream Stocks”: Inside the Rise of Neoclouds, CoreWeave, and Nebius The recent market correction has stripped the shine off many once-glamorous names. Share prices have tumbled, especially for so-called “dream stocks” — companies rich in narrative but light on near-term fundamentals, their success hinging entirely on future execution. In this climate, investors naturally wonder: are some of these names being unfairly punished? In my view, Neoclouds — the new generation of AI-focused cloud providers — are not just dream stocks. Their ascent is grounded in something very real: the explosive, sustained demand for AI computing power. These firms hold genuine technical moats and scarce physical assets — namely, top-tier NVIDIA GPUs. More importantly, leading players such as CoreWeave a

$TSLA showed incredible strength today doing a full reversal higher above the pre earnings closing price at $438.97, closing at session highs, and above average volume. Largest reversal we have seen in a long time. The post earnings sell off has been completely absorbed, sooner than we anticipated. That’s a very positive development for the bulls. Next, we have tomorrow’s CPI report which can provide further upside if inflation doesn’t come in hot, paving the way for next week’s Fed rate cut. Macro likely becomes a tailwind and anticipation for the shareholder meeting should begin next week. Glad we added shares and calls at $417, $415.

You’ve raised very pertinent questions about the S‑REITs (Singapore Real Estate Investment Trusts) space — especially the trade-off between “stable yield” versus “explosive growth”, the impact of upcoming rate cuts, and which Singapore companies might be worth your attention. I’ll structure my thoughts as follows: --- 1. Stable Yield vs. Explosive Growth Stable Yield Advantages: Many S-REITs deliver a reasonably high distribution yield (DPU/dividend) compared to many other equities in Singapore. For example, as of early 2025 the average dividend yield for S-REITs was about 6.9%. Less dependent on spectacular growth; more about property income, occupancy, stable tenants, and proper financing. Aligns with income-oriented investors: If you appreciate regular distributions and lower vola
