From my point of view, the STI’s $Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$ 25% total return and broad-based strength across mid- and small-caps show how much rate cuts have revived sentiment in Singapore. Even with institutions taking profits, S-REITs still look resilient, and lower funding costs should keep their outlook solid into 2026.

Goldman’s $Goldman Sachs(GS)$ warning about weaker U.S. equity returns over the next decade feels reasonable after such an exceptional 10-year run. It doesn’t signal the end of the U.S. bull market, but it does suggest that future gains may be slower and more selective.

If I could only pick one region for the next decade, I’d lean toward Asia — especially Singapore — for its valuations and stable dividends especially on bank stocks like $DBS Group Holdings(D05.SI)$ $UOB(U11.SI)$ $ocbc bank(O39.SI)$ . Still, I’d maintain some U.S. exposure to high-quality tech leaders with durable long-term moats.

DBS & OCBC New Highs! How’s Your SG Bank Holding Experience?
DBS and OCBC Bank both pushed to new intraday highs of $56 and $19.47, supported by strong wealth-management fees, solid capital-return plans, and attractive dividend yields. Even as interest rates are expected to fall, analysts see Singapore banks as resilient, backed by: Wealth-management fees offsetting NIM pressure 5%–6% implied yields into 2026 Buybacks and dividends supporting share prices. For example, Stable? Defensive? Boring but reliable? Quiet compounder? Or if you don’t hold them yet — what’s stopping you?

    SG banks' dividends do look tempting for long haul. Keeping US tech exposure makes sense [强]
