Singapore stocks draw $611m in institutional inflows in June

Financial services led the buying as the STI reached a record high and posted a 13.7% total return for 1H 2026.

Singapore stocks attracted $611m in net institutional inflows in June 2026, reversing more than 40% of the cumulative outflows recorded over the previous five months, according to SGX Research.

The Straits Times Index rose 2.6% during the month to close at 5,170.65 and reached a record high of 5,241.80 on 23 June. Its total return stood at 13.7% for the first half of 2026 and 36.4% over the past 12 months.

Financial services led institutional buying with $683m in net inflows. UOB recorded the largest individual inflow at about $420m, followed by Singapore Airlines at $344m, SATS at $147m, OCBC at $119m and DBS at $102m.

Despite the June rebound, financial services ended the first half with $626m in net institutional outflows, mainly due to substantial withdrawals from DBS earlier in the year.

The FTSE ST Consumer Goods & Services Index delivered a 6.2% total return in June, supported by gains in SATS, Singapore Airlines and First Resources amid resilient travel demand and stronger aviation activity.

Technology and industrial stocks attracted the largest net institutional inflows during the first half, at $580m and $457m, respectively, driven by interest in artificial intelligence, semiconductors and infrastructure-related themes.

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.
