Singapore Stock Market Set to End Downturn on February 3, 2026

Singapore’s stock market is poised to halt its recent slide on February 3, 2026, as investor sentiment stabilizes following a sharp selloff in January. The Straits Times Index (STI) rebounded in early trading, supported by gains in financial and industrial sectors. Analysts cite improved regional trade data and a pause in U.S. interest rate hikes as key catalysts for the turnaround. The STI had declined over 5% in the prior month amid global growth concerns and volatility in Chinese markets. Trading volumes rose 12% above the 30-day average, signaling renewed institutional interest.
