Singapore Stock Market Today: STI Holds Near 4,570 as Banks, S-REIT Flows and Year-End Positioning Shape SGX Outlook (Dec 21, 2025)

SINGAPORE — The Singapore Exchange (SGX) is closed today (Sunday, Dec 21), leaving investors to digest a tight, range-bound finish to last week and prepare for the final trading stretch of 2025. The Straits Times Index (STI) ended Friday (Dec 19) essentially flat, slipping 0.02% to 4,569.78, signalling consolidation after a strong run this year and into a holiday period where liquidity typically thins out and stock-specific moves can dominate. The Straits Times Singapore stocks: what happened at the last close Friday’s session was a microcosm of how Singapore stocks have been trading lately: steady at the index level, but

United Overseas Bank (UOB) Stock (SGX: U11) on Dec 21, 2025: Latest News, Analyst Targets, Dividend Outlook and 2026 Forecasts

SINGAPORE (Dec 21, 2025) — United Overseas Bank Limited (UOB) is ending the week in an unusual place for a Singapore “big bank” name: firmly in the spotlight, but not quite enjoying the same momentum as its local peers. With markets closed on Sunday, UOB shares last traded on Friday, Dec 19, 2025 at S$34.70, down 0.09% on the day, inside a 52-week range of S$29.00 to S$39.20.

DBS Group Holdings Ltd Stock (SGX: D05) Outlook on Dec 21, 2025: Record Highs, Big Dividends, and the 2026 Margin Test

The stock is up about +25.5% year-to-date and has become the centre of gravity for Singapore’s “income + quality” investing narrative: high payouts, active capital returns, and a franchise still gaining traction in wealth and transaction banking—even as investors brace for lower interest rates and softer net interest margins in 2026.

Published: 21 December 2025 Wesfarmers Limited (ASX:WES) enters the final stretch of 2025 with a familiar investor appeal—dominant retail brands, a diversified portfolio, and steady cash generation—colliding with a very modern set of storylines: a group-wide rollout of ChatGPT Enterprise, fresh turbulence in parts of the Priceline pharmacy network, and an analyst community that largely thinks the stock is priced for perfection.

Lynas Rare Earths Limited (ASX:LYC) heads into the final full trading week before Christmas with a rare combination of near-term index-driven momentum and very real operational risk—a classic recipe for volatility. On one hand, Lynas is set to join the S&P/ASX 50 effective before the open on Monday, 22 December 2025, a change that can trigger mechanical buying from index-tracking funds.
