Singapore Bank Stocks Extend Losses After JPMorgan Flags Pressure From Soaring Long Bond Yields on Q3 Profits
Singapore bank shares deepened their decline on Friday as JPMorgan Chase & Co. cautioned that sharply rising long bond yields will weigh on third-quarter earnings for lenders in Southeast Asia. $UOB(U11.SI)$ fell 1.91%; $DBS(D05.SI)$ fell 1.27%; $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ fell 0.45%. On Thursday, DBS Group Holdings Ltd. and Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. each fell more than 4%, while United Overseas Bank Ltd. dropped 5.2%. These stocks were among the heaviest drags on the benchmark Straits Times Index, which plunged 3.5%, its biggest drop since April 2025. The index was the weakest performer in Asia. The slide follows a multiyear rally in Singapore lenders fuel

US Banks GS, JPM, MS - Profits alone won't save ?
If you think US banks are still winners in 2026, it needs an October update. For starters, $Goldman Sachs(GS)$ stock ticked down slightly early Thu, 08 Oct 2026, extending a painful sell-off that has almost zeroed out 2026 gains for the storied Wall Street bank - days ahead of its Q3 2026 earnings release. (see below) According to Yahoo Finance data: GS has fallen in 10 of the past 12 weeks. Dropping more than -20% since its July 2026 peak. (see below) For the year, shares were up less than 1% as of Thu, 08 Oct 2026 morning. Prior to 08 Oct 2026's trading, shares of the investment bank had lost -13.44% lagged the Finance sector's loss of -4.09% and the S&P 500's gain of +1.4%. The retreat comes as a dramatic reversal of investor appetite.

Iggy's Journal: DBS, OCBC and UOB Each Fell More Than 4% in One Day. Who Is Giving You the Reason?
Iggy's Journal: DBS, OCBC and UOB Each Fell More Than 4% in One Day. Who Is Giving You the Reason? Fri 09 Oct 2026 | Midday The Numbers On 8 Oct, DBS closed down 4.7 percent, OCBC down 4.3 percent and UOB down 5.2 percent, per Singapore Business Review citing SGX. The reports I read give four different reasons, from profit-taking to Citi's cut of OCBC to Sell, and they show no announcement from any of the three banks in the two sessions. Most of what is quoted describes market mood or views about price, not facts about the companies. The new episode sorts the reasons by who is giving them. My Personal Take Two of the reasons are easy to place. Profit-taking describes what sellers did, not what a bank did. Citi's cut on OCBC is a forecast and a valuation from one broker, not a result from t

I think the long end can stay elevated, or even move higher, even if the Fed stands pat. The key issue is that the 10Y/30Y are increasingly being driven by more than the expected Fed path. Fiscal deficits, heavy Treasury issuance and a rising term premium can keep pushing long-term yields higher without another rate hike. A Fed pause may relieve some pressure at the front end, but it does not automatically solve the supply-demand imbalance further out the curve. If investors demand more compensation to hold duration, the curve could steepen through higher long-end yields. For equities, that matters because a 5%+ 10Y keeps the discount-rate hurdle high, particularly for expensive growth stocks. My base case: Fed pause ≠ long-end relief. I would watch Treasury auctions, term premium and infl

Futures Positioning: Risk Appetite Cools as Equity, Gold and Silver Longs Pull Back
CFTC Data: What It Is, Why It Matters and What to Watch The CFTC publishes its Commitments of Traders report each week. Known as the COT report, it is a key gauge of positioning across global futures markets. Its main value lies in showing which investor groups are driving price action. Market moves ultimately reflect competition among different types of capital. CFTC data makes these forces visible by breaking positions down by trader category. The CFTC divides market positions into three main categories: Non-commercial: Speculative traders, mainly hedge funds and CTAs, that seek to profit from price moves. They are the most responsive and directional market participants. Commercial: Companies that use futures to hedge business risks. Their positions primarily reflect risk

TOPIf I had to choose one stock that interests me the most, I would focus on Nvidia (NVDA). I am mainly optimistic about the long-term development of AI, but I am also worried that the stock price has reflected too many future expectations in advance, so I am currently paying more attention to valuation and the company's actual profitability. If I had to choose again now, I wouldn't blindly chase high prices. Instead, I would wait until the stock price corrects and the financial performance and cash flow become clearer before considering buying in batches. For me, I'm not afraid of not being able to buy stocks yet; what I'm most afraid of is impulsively buying them at a high point. Good companies need patience, and good prices need to be affordable!

Market Structure Watch：Gold Holds 4,130; Crude Oil Eyes 94 Breakout💰📈
English version： U.S. Dollar: 102.1–101.6 Is the Key Range On October 8, the U.S. Dollar Index rallied but failed to break above its previous high before pulling back, closing the day with a bearish candle featuring a long upper wick. In my view, near-term upward momentum has weakened somewhat. For October 9, my initial focus is on the 102.1–101.6 range. If the index continues to struggle to break decisively above resistance, a pullback in the dollar could provide support for gold.$美元指数(USDindex.FOREX)$ Gold: The Intraday Bias Remains Bullish as Long as 4,130 Holds Gold traded within a roughly $40 range on October 8, with repeated intraday swings as buyers and sellers battled for control.

The Dow Closed Higher While the Nasdaq Lost 1.25 Per Cent. What Split Them?
The indices: the selling stayed inside technology, so the Nasdaq fell while the Dow closed higher The three indices split on Thursday: the $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ fell 1.25 per cent to 27,193.34, the steepest of them; the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ fell 0.47 per cent to 7,765.36; and the $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ rose 0.10 per cent to 51,231.60. The 10-year Treasury yield came back from 5.28 per cent to 5.23 per cent on the same day. Rates fell and equities fell with them, which is not the chain of cause and effect of recent days: what was repriced was the assumption about demand along the AI chain, and the discount rate had nothing to d
TOPConservative Views on AI Stock Pullback In my personal opinion, the 5.34% drop in Intel's stock price illustrates that during market panic, a single piece of positive news may not be enough to support the stock price. Investors are more concerned about the prospects of the entire semiconductor industry, company profitability, and market sentiment. The long-term development trend of AI still deserves attention, but OpenAI's revenue expectations, chip demand, and AI debt issues all remind us that we cannot only look at orders, but also at whether customers have the ability to continue paying. If it were me, I wouldn't rush to buy at the bottom just because the stock price is falling, nor would I sell immediately just because there are no positive news. Instead, I would first look at the financial statements, cash flow, debt, and valuation. My view is that short-term stock prices may be influenced by emotions, but long-term stock prices ultimately depend on performance. Investing requires patience and, more importantly, risk control. Avoid blindly chasing high prices or easily gambling on a rebound.

$OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ Lots of retail traders talking about the banks and giving their "views". It's better to understand this from an institutional trader's POV. if you had a position in this at the start of the year, and your OCBC position is up 50% YTD, and it is now October, this analyst's report is just the excuse for you to exit or trim your position. Why? Because your bonus at the end of year - that $2m bonus - yes you heard it - depends on it. That Brand new v12 Ferrari depends on it. So yes, those are all institutions trimming or exiting. Because also, long term yields are now slated to taper off. So yes, don't focus on that track record or whatever mention of the analyst being from a foreign bank. Those just goons making comme

👟 Nike Down 80% — Bargain or Value Trap?
Nike ($NKE) has fallen from its 2021 peak of $179 to around $34, wiping out more than $210 billion in market value. Now, Goldman Sachs’ reported purchase of 4.9 million shares has investors asking whether the sell-off has gone too far. 📉 Why consider buying? ✅ A globally recognised brand with strong sports and lifestyle appeal. ✅ Potential upside if management successfully turns the business around. ✅ A lower share price could offer an opportunity if earnings recover. ⚠️ Why be cautious? ❌ Nike expects revenue to decline by a high-single-digit percentage in FY2027. ❌ Competition and weaker demand are putting pressure on sales. ❌ A falling share price doesn’t automatically mean a stock is cheap. Goldman’s buying is interesting, but institutional purchases don’t guarantee a rebound. My view:
TOPI’d lean bargain here. Brand equity still matters, and at around 34 the market looks like it’s pricing in a way uglier earnings path than a normal turnaround.

The Fed Minutes Point to Another Increase. Why Did Long Yields Not Wait?
The indices: all three fell back from record closes, and the Dow lost 0.66 per cent The three indices moved back from the previous day's record closes on Wednesday: the $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ Average fell 0.66 per cent to 51,179.90, the largest decline; the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ fell 0.22 per cent to 7,801.77; and the $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ Composite fell 0.22 per cent to 27,538.69. The pressure came from the bond market: the 10-year Treasury yield reached 5.36 per cent at its intraday peak and closed at 5.28 per cent, while the 30-year touched 5.73 per cent and closed at 5.66 per cent. Minutes from the Federal Reserve's Septemb
TOPPersonally, I pay more attention to long-term US Treasury yields, rather than just whether the Federal Reserve will continue its rate hike this year. In the short term, interest rate cuts/rate hike expectations will affect the market; However, if the 10-year and 30-year yields remain high, I think it is more likely due to the fiscal deficit, bond issuance supply, and market demands for long-term inflation. This will directly put pressure on valuations, especially highly valued AI and technology stocks. Furthermore, Samsung's recent surge in profits indicates that the demand for memory is indeed very strong, but I will not immediately chase after MU, SNDK, and SKHY just because of the surge in profits. What matters now is whether price increases can continue, whether shipments have kept up, and whether high profits will stimulate more production capacity. Therefore, my approach is still: not to chase high prices, to buy in batches, and to focus on whether the 10-year yield can return below 5.2% and whether the company's profits can truly keep up with the valuation.

Money Is Moving Beyond Chips. The Next Winners May Be Hiding in Plain Sight.
$CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$ $Lumentum(LITE)$ $Bloom Energy Corp(BE)$ $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ When semiconductor stocks sell off, it’s tempting to assume the AI trade is losing momentum. But look at Thursday’s movers. CoreWeave jumped 11.72%, Lumentum surged 11.04%, Bloom Energy gained 9.63%, and Nebius climbed 7.73%, even as chip stocks came under pressure. My question: Is the market abandoning AI, or shifting its attention to the infrastructure needed to make AI work? I see four very different investment stories emerging. 🔌 1.

The Dividend Snowball: SPDR STI vs Amova STI ETF: How To Own Singapore's Banks Without The Heartache
🌟🌟🌟There is a quiet, almost invisible magic built into the concrete foundations of Singapore. It doesn't scream for attention like a volatile tech stock on Wall Street, nor does it keep you awake at 3am in a cold sweat. It is the steady unyielding power of financial compounding. Compounding is the financial equivalent of rolling a tiny snowball down Bukit Timah Hill. At first it looks insignificant. But as it rolls, the snow picks up more snow. In the investing world, your money makes babies and then those babies have babies, until you are suddenly sitting on a generational empire. In Singapore, the kings of this compounding kingdom are our local banking trio: $DBS(D05.SI)$
