    2021 began with a bang for our local stock market.

    In just five days alone, the Straits Times Index has moved up 5.2%.

    This optimism can be attributed to a host of brokerages reporting that we are on the cusp of a recovery.

    As various vaccines are rolled out across the world, we can look forward to better days ahead.

    And it’s already showing up in valuations as share prices reflect a more sanguine outlook.

    For blue-chip companies such as DBS Group Holdings Ltd (SGX: D05), its share price of S$27.42 has exceeded the price it traded at before the pandemic.

    Investors should note, however, that the recovery is likely to be uneven.

    Some sectors may see a quicker, stronger recovery while others may continue to languish.

    But with governments around the world standing ready to pump liquidity into their economies and keep interest rates low, the odds favour a sustained recovery this year.

    Here’s a list of our top articles for the week.
