Singapore Stock Market Today: STI Ends at Fresh Record Close as DBS, OCBC Lead Rally

Singapore, Jan 6, 2026, 17:53 SGT — Market closed Singapore shares ended higher on Tuesday, with the Straits Times Index (STI) closing up 59.47 points, or 1.27%, at a record 4,739.97.

OCBC Stock (SGX:O39) on 26 Dec 2025: Latest News, Analyst Forecasts, Dividend and 2026 Outlook

Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited (OCBC) is closing out 2025 with its share price hovering near record territory—an eye-catching finish in a year where Singapore bank stocks have been pulled between two big forces: falling rate tailwinds turning into margin headwinds, and a surge in fee-driven wealth activity that’s been doing the heavy lifting for earnings. On 26 December 2025, OCBC shares were trading at S$19.860 (up 0.40% on the day at the time of the snapshot), with a day range of S$19.660 to S$19.890 and a 52-week range of S$14.350 to S$19.950—a very “near-the-ceiling” setup heading into year-end positioning and

OCBC Stock (SGX: O39) Outlook 2026: Record Highs, Dividend Upside, and the Risks Investors Should Watch (as of 25 Dec 2025)

Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited (OCBC) is ending 2025 with its share price hovering near record territory—powered less by “loan growth heroics” and more by two things markets love in a maturing rate cycle: fee income momentum (especially wealth management) and a clearer capital return story. But the same forces that lifted OCBC stock into year-end—Singapore’s safe-haven inflows, falling interest rates, and an increasingly “financial-centre premium” across local banks—also set up 2026’s key debate: Can wealth-led growth and higher payouts offset ongoing margin pressure?

SINGAPORE (24 Dec 2025) — Singapore shares ended the Christmas Eve session slightly lower, with trading activity muted as investors headed into the festive break and liquidity thinned across global markets.
