🟩 Is the Singapore stock market a safe haven, or are we sleepwalking through a regional firestorm? The Straits Times Index (STI) remains stubbornly calm around 4,500 points while Asian markets flash red, but this silence is dangerous for retail investors who mistake stability for safety. Beneath the surface, a massive divergence is unfolding: S-REITs are enjoying their best run since 2019, while some of our favorite dividend payers are slashing distributions by nearly 6%, and our biggest bank is trading at a price that looks suspiciously perfect.
In this daily digest for December 10, 2025, we dig deeper than the headlines to expose the real risks facing your portfolio. We break down why the iEdge S-REIT Index is finally waking up, the hard truth about Mapletree Industrial Trust’s latest payout drop, and the escalating battle between DBS and UOB. While analysts are chasing hype targets for DBS, the fair value models are flashing a serious warning sign that every retiree needs to see before buying more.
Don’t let the quiet market fool you—there are winners and traps forming right now. Watch the full analysis to get my specific "Buy, Sell, or Hold" verdict on DBS at these all-time highs, and find out which sectors are truly safe for your retirement income.
