Is Singapore witnessing a durable capital markets revival - or the final act of a liquidity-driven surge?

In this episode, hosted by Michelle Martin, we examine whether the STI’s charge past 5,000 marks a structural re-rating of Singapore equities or a cyclical rebound fuelled by policy tailwinds.

With Jason Saw, Group Head of Investment Banking at CGS International, we unpack Budget 2026’s S$1.5 billion EQDP top-up and the new Anchor Fund - and what they mean for price discovery and pre-IPO pipelines.

We explore how improving breadth - with more small- and mid-cap counters trading above S$1 million daily - signals deeper liquidity and broader participation.

The conversation turns to sector leadership: banks, offshore oil & gas, construction, AI-linked plays, and real estate - where fundamentals and sentiment intersect.

We assess whether rising IPO activity and corporate actions point to sustainable issuer confidence across primary and secondary markets.

Finally, we ask how investors can “read” momentum cycles to gauge when expansion gives way to consolidation.
