  • Singapore Stocks End Week Subdued Amid Global Market Uncertainty
    March 21, 2026, 10:25 PM EDT. Singapore's Straits Times Index (STI) closed the week in a tight 3,150-3,200 range, reflecting investor caution during a week marked by mixed global signals. The STI slipped 0.38%, impacted by energy price shocks and cautious U.S. Federal Reserve policy outlooks. Early gains driven by banking giants DBS and OCBC faded as oil prices surged above US$100 a barrel, pressuring property stocks like UOL, which declined over 5%. Geopolitical tensions and inflation concerns triggered further selling before holiday closures. Despite volatility, analysts highlight underlying stability in the market, buoyed by strong domestic banks and steady economic fundamentals. Going forward, investors are expected to remain selective, with the STI anticipated to trade between 3,120 and 3,220, closely watching global economic developments and monetary policy cues.
