$Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$   📈 STI at New Highs: Is the US Super-Cycle Ending — and Is Asia the Next Beneficiary? Singapore’s equity market is doing something it hasn’t done in years — outperform quietly. 🇸🇬 The Straits Times Index (STI) has delivered a ~25% total return in 2025 (including dividends), marking one of its strongest years in the past 15 years. No AI frenzy. No retail mania. Just steady capital appreciation and income. At the same time, Goldman Sachs’ Global Equity Outlook (2025–2035) raises a question global investors can no longer ignore. ⸻ 🧠 The US “Super-Bull” Was Exceptional — Not Normal Over the past decade: 📊 The S&P 500 returned ~15% annualized That places the 2014–2024 period among the top decile of equity

2025 proved Singapore's market resilience and evolving breadth, delivering remarkably balanced returns across all capitalizations—from the $Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$ 's 21% gain to the Fledgling index's 31% surge—while buybacks hit a decade-high at S$2.15 billion and dividends are poised for another record. What distinguishes this rally is the structural shift: daily turnover in non-STI stocks jumped from 14% to 25%, indicating institutional money is finally flowing beyond the usual blue-chip narratives. This isn't just momentum; it's a fundamental repricing as companies like $DBS(D05.SI)$ , $Singtel 10(Z77.SI)$ , and

AI and Crypto will be the main drivers for growth in the next 10 years. And STI do not have any of these 2 factors at all.

I’m very new to all this, but have noticed the Asian market is much less volatile compared to the US. Therefore I would part invest in both, with the Asian segment providing a steady income stream and the US market the more speculative portion.

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ $Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$ Singapore's stock scene is straight fire this year, with the Straits Times Index clocking a jaw-dropping 25% total return including dividends, smashing through highs not seen in 15 years amid regional resilience and global easing vibes. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs' fresh Global Equity Outlook 2025-2035 drops a bombshell warning: The S&P 500's wild 15% annualized ride over the past decade is a rare "super-bull" anomaly, and mean reversion's knocking—expecting just 6.5% annual returns ahead as valuations stretch thin.

Following a strategic corporate restructuring, PC Partner Group Limited (SGX: PCT)—formerly dual-listed as 1263.HK on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange—has completed a voluntary delisting from HKEX, with its shares ceasing trading on 8 January 2026 and full migration to the Singapore Exchange (SGX) under the ticker PCT.SI. This transition is not merely administrative; it is a deliberate move to enhance the company’s position in the global AI hardware supply chain, particularly with NVIDIA. Strategic Rationale: Securing NVIDIA Partnership in a Fragmented World According to official announcements, the primary motivation for the SGX-only listing is to strengthen supply chain stability with NVIDIA and secure eligibility for next-generation GPU allocations, including the upcoming RTX 50 Series (Blac

🌟🌟🌟This is a dilemma - to bet it all on the proven US market or seek value in the dynamic , yet volatile Asia. My answer is "Why not both?" This isn't about choosing between these 2 markets .  It combines fundamentally 2 different markets to forge a more robust , resilient and globally diversified portfolio. Investing in both the US and Asian markets allows me to capture the best of both worlds and effectively manage risk through diversification. It is about balancing growth and value .  I get exposure to high growth , innovation driven engine of the US markets while at the same time , I am tapping into the attractive valuations and steady high dividend strategies offered by markets in Singapore, Southeast Asia and Hong Kong. This is also about not putting all my eggs into 1 bas

If forced to choose only one market for the next decade, I still lean toward the U.S. The innovation engine remains unmatched, supported by dominant tech moats, strong profitability and deep capital markets. Even if returns cool, structural compounding in AI, cloud, biotech and semiconductors keeps the long-term uptrend intact. Asia is attractive, especially Singapore, with cheaper valuations, stable dividends and healthier policy visibility. It offers steadier income and selective growth, but lacks the global profit engines that drive consistent decade-long outperformance. So my choice is the U.S., with Asia as a complementary allocation rather than the core.

as rate cuts happen and interest rates go down, REITs and dividend stocks like SG banks become more attractive as their dividend yields exceed fixed deposits interest rates. there's also capital appreciation in the long term. money will start flowing into these stocks. get them before they run up too high.

If I can only choose 1 for the next 10 years I would still be bullish on US market. Reason being that I’m still relatively young and have the runway to invest in growth stocks.

$Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$   My Personal View on STI’s Breakout and the Shifting Balance in Global Equities Over the past few months, I have been paying closer attention to how global equity leadership is evolving, and one development that really stood out to me is Singapore’s performance. Quietly but decisively, the STI delivered around 25 percent total return in 2025, one of its strongest results in more than 15 years. For a market that is usually associated with stability, dividends, and moderate growth, this kind of outperformance made me pause and reflect on what might be changing beneath the surface. What makes this even more interesting is the timing. Around the same period, Goldman Sachs released its Global Equity Outlook 20

Best to prepare for retirement: go for more attractive valuations and steady high dividends stocks.

If I can choose ONE only for next 10 years 🤔... USA Markets is my choice 😃. @JC888 @Barcode @koolgal @Aqa @DiAngel @Shyon @Shernice軒嬣 2000

From my point of view, the STI’s $Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$ 25% total return and broad-based strength across mid- and small-caps show how much rate cuts have revived sentiment in Singapore. Even with institutions taking profits, S-REITs still look resilient, and lower funding costs should keep their outlook solid into 2026. Goldman’s $Goldman Sachs(GS)$ warning about weaker U.S. equity returns over the next decade feels reasonable after such an exceptional 10-year run. It doesn’t signal the end of the U.S. bull market, but it does suggest that future gains may be slower and more selective. If I could only pick one region for the next decade, I’d lean toward Asia — especially Singapore — for its val
