Why it matters
Concerns over bank earnings have contributed to a recent decline in the Straits Times Index, with banks leading the sell-off. Saxo stated that deposit costs, loan pricing, and Singapore-dollar interest rates will be key factors determining banks' lending margins. The upcoming earnings season is expected to be important for assessing sustained bank profitability.
