With the STI breaking above 50

With the STI breaking above 5000, it signals renewed strength in the local market. While short-term volatility is always possible, the broader trajectory looks positive. If the current momentum sustains, 6500 may become the next key target on the horizon.

STI Crosses 5,000: 6,500 Next in 2026?

Singapore’s benchmark STI has crossed 5,000 points for the first time, after surging 22.7% in 2025. The rally was powered by heavyweight banks: DBS jumped 29.9%, OCBC gained 18.4%, while UOB was flat. Multiple analysts had forecast the 5,000 breakout by end-2026, but the milestone arrived early. In one of the most bullish calls, JPMorgan sees the STI reaching 6,500 by year-end. Is this breakout the start of a new upcycle for Singapore equities? Can bank earnings momentum sustain the next leg higher?
