SGX stock edges up as Nasdaq dual-listing rules move to Feb 8 deadline; Singapore Exchange earnings next

Singapore, Jan 12, 2026, 15:21 SGT — Regular session Shares of Singapore Exchange Ltd (S68) climbed 0.5% to S$17.59 by 3:10 p.m. Singapore time Monday, amid investor interest in new efforts to simplify dual listings in Singapore and the U.S. (StockAnalysis) The bourse operator is at the heart of Singapore’s push to revive its market. A genuine boost in listings or trading volume would be significant, since exchanges rake in fees whenever more money and securities move through. The Monetary Authority of Singapore is pushing for legislative and regulatory tweaks to back an SGX-Nasdaq “dual-listing bridge,” including permitting a single

Singtel stock price today: shares edge up as Singapore’s STI hovers near a fresh high

Singapore, Jan 12, 2026, 15:08 SGT — Regular session Singapore Telecommunications Ltd shares inched up 0.2% to S$4.47 in afternoon trade on Monday, after swinging between S$4.42 and S$4.49. The broader FTSE Straits Times Index rose 0.7% to about 4,776, sitting close to its 52-week high. The move was small, but Singtel is a heavyweight dividend name and it is back near levels that draw fast money. Turnover looked light and the stock’s range did more talking than the last price. It also matters because Singapore’s rally has been widening beyond the usual defensives, with banks doing the heavy lifting
Hongkong Land stock rises after Ares doubles Central office space at Gloucester Tower

Hongkong Land stock rises after Ares doubles Central office space at Gloucester Tower

Hong Kong, Jan 12, 2026, 15:17 HKT — Regular session underway. Shares in Hongkong Land Holdings rose Monday following news that alternative investment firm Ares Management plans to double its office space at Gloucester Tower in Hong Kong’s Central district. The Singapore-listed stock gained 2.7%, hitting US$7.94. (MarketScreener) This move hits home since Hongkong Land’s fortunes hinge on Central. After a lengthy period dominated by tenants, with landlords scrambling to keep large spaces occupied, investors are zeroing in on leasing deals. This isn’t a massive lease in a market spanning millions of square feet. Yet, it’s the kind of transaction

Yangzijiang Shipbuilding stock tests 52-week high as Singapore buying picks up

Singapore, Jan 12, 2026, 15:22 SGT — Regular session Shares of Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) Ltd climbed 1.1% to S$3.66 on Monday, hitting the upper limit of their 52-week trading range amid gains in Singapore’s stock market. (Reuters Japan) This move is significant as Yangzijiang ranks among Singapore’s more liquid options for tapping into the global shipbuilding cycle, which can shift rapidly when new orders decline or financing dries up. It drops early in the year, a time when flows are often blunt. Funds reset their books, and investors zero in on a few big industrial names that trade actively and

CapitaLand Investment stock ticks up as rate-cut bets firm; Feb 11 results in view

Singapore, Jan 12, 2026, 15:09 SGT — Regular session Shares of CapitaLand Investment Limited climbed Monday afternoon, building on last week’s gains as investors returned to rate-sensitive property stocks ahead of next month’s full-year results. Borrowing costs are the key focus. Singapore’s benchmark Sora — the Singapore Overnight Rate Average that underpins many local loans — might hit its low in Q2, according to UOB’s latest market outlook, as investors gear up for more U.S. rate cuts. “We are not so far away from the low,” said UOB senior foreign exchange strategist Peter Chia. (The Straits Times) Flows have played

DBS stock edges up as IPO “best year ever” talk meets Fed-rate jitters

Singapore, Jan 12, 2026, 14:49 (SGT) — Regular session Shares of DBS Group Holdings crept up Monday, keeping pace as Singapore’s major banks hovered near their recent peaks. By 2:30 p.m. local time, the stock traded around S$57.90, bouncing within a S$57.77 to S$58.28 band. OCBC added roughly 1.0%, while UOB inched up about 0.4%. (Google) This shift is crucial since DBS and its two local rivals have shouldered much of the burden for Singapore equities, attracting income-seeking investors. Dividend yield — the yearly cash payout relative to a stock’s price — has emerged as the main draw, with yields
OCBC stock back above S$20 as dividend trade holds; eyes on Feb results

OCBC stock back above S$20 as dividend trade holds; eyes on Feb results

Singapore, Jan 12, 2026, 14:49 SGT — Regular session. Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited (OCBC) shares climbed 1.1% to S$20.01 on Monday, lifting the SGX:O39 stock back above the round-number S$20 level in afternoon trade. The stock touched S$20.02 and is not far from its 52-week high of S$20.25. (Futunn) The move keeps the bank in the spotlight after a strong first week for Singapore equities, with investors leaning into lenders for income. With interest rates expected to ease further in 2026, dividend yields above 5% have helped banking stocks, The Straits Times reported, while Morningstar’s Lorraine Tan called UOB “the

Woodside Energy shares hold near one-month peak as oil jitters keep traders on edge

Sydney, January 12, 2026, 17:46 AEDT — Post-market update Shares of Woodside Energy Group Ltd closed Monday up 0.6% at A$23.72, having earlier hit A$24.08—their best price in roughly four weeks. Trading volume reached 2.23 million shares, according to data. (Investing.com) The move is significant since Woodside is right in the thick of daily crude price swings: supply concerns can send energy stocks soaring, only for any relief to pull them back just as swiftly. For investors, this directly impacts near-term cash flow forecasts for a company dealing in oil and liquefied natural gas. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 climbed 0.5% to

Evolution Mining stock closes higher as gold breaks $4,600 — what EVN investors watch next

Sydney, Jan 12, 2026, 17:44 AEDT — The market has closed. Shares of Evolution Mining Limited (EVN.AX) rose 0.7% to close at A$12.91 on Monday, hitting an intraday peak of A$13.28. The stock finished just below its 52-week high of A$13.30. (Investing.com) This shift is significant since the tape has simplified once more. When gold hits fresh highs, miners with consistent production usually see a rapid re-rating, only to lose those gains just as swiftly when bullion slips. For Evolution, the key now is whether operations can match the stock’s rally. Investors are eyeing the December-quarter production and cost update

Singapore, Feb 7, 2026, 15:06 (SGT) — Market closed Singapore Airlines Ltd shares slipped on Friday, ending at S$6.70, as investors weighed fresh warnings that aircraft parts shortages are becoming a longer-running drag on airline costs.
