STI gains 9.8% in 2022 YTD

The index is also recognised as the strongest APAC benchmark in the 2022 YTD.

The Straits Time Index (STI) reported a 9.8% gain in the 2022 year to date (YTD) as the Index continued to position itself as the most defensive index across the Asia Pacific (APAC).

The Singapore Exchange attributed this performance to sector composition, with banks making up 45% of the stocks. DBS, OCBC, and UOB have averaged 16% gains in the 2022 YTD.

Meanwhile, the FTSE APAC Index declined 2% in terms of Singapore dollars, with the two indexes reporting a daily turnover of $7.3m. The turnover also represents a seven month high from July 2021, in which $7.7m per day was traded.

At the lead of STI-listed stocks is Sembcorp Industries, which makes up over 27% of the 2022 YTD. The group’s current focus on green energy and goals of sustainable solutions make up 70% of its net profit in 2025, up from 40% in 2020.

Overall, Singapore stocks have drawn in $1.9b in net institutional inflow.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
