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.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
