SINGAPORE, Jan 14, 2026, 14:50 SGT — Regular session Shares of United Overseas Bank Ltd nudged higher on Wednesday, holding firmer compared to DBS and OCBC as investors digested what’s next in the rate cycle.

UOB’s shares have gained roughly 3% year-to-date, despite some volatile sessions in global markets. On Wednesday, the stock fluctuated between S$36.06 and S$36.32, with around 1.07 million shares traded. (Investing.com)
