Singapore stocks have had a cautious week, with the STI slipping on Tuesday before stabilising on Wednesday as local bank shares recovered slightly. Meanwhile, volatile bond markets and inflation concerns continue to put pressure on Asian banks.
With markets unsettled, investors are asking two important questions: which stocks offer value today, and which can provide dependable income for the years ahead?
This week’s Smart Reads compares DBS, OCBC and UOB, examines Temasek-backed REITs offering yields of around 6.5%, and explores whether Venture Corporation can sustain its dividends.
We also look at how CPF LIFE and dividend stocks can work together to provide S$3,000 a month in retirement, alongside opportunities in SGX dividend stocks and Singapore Exchange shares.
Finally, we compare Nvidia with AMD and discuss whether selling your losing stocks during a market dip is always the right decision.
