I remain bullish on the $Straits Times Index(STI.SI) despite its strong run. The +24% YTD gain is impressive, but I believe the rally is increasingly backed by fundamentals — strong banks, resilient GDP growth, infrastructure investment and AI-related demand. The rotation from semiconductors into banks, REITs & industrials also shows that capital is still finding opportunities in Singapore.

$YZJ Shipbldg SGD(BS6.SI)$ is a great example of this earnings-driven rally, with record H1 results and a strong order book. Going forward, I think investors will become more selective and focus on companies that can genuinely convert structural tailwinds into earnings growth.

A short-term pullback would not change my bullish view. In fact, I would see any meaningful correction as an opportunity to accumulate quality names rather than a reason to turn bearish. For me, the key is to stay invested but avoid chasing stocks after sharp rallies.

    I cleared my local bank names already, 24% YTD is nice but can STI really hold up if NIM starts rolling over?
