Chasing US rate hikes?
DBS undoubtedly benefits from US rates normalization, but recent market activity (some days' turnover 2 times the 1-yr avg) and >2S.D. price ratio outperformance vs. the FSSTI, suggest this is a clear consensus long.

At 80bps US rates, implied 3M SGD SIBOR may be c.55bps (vs. 42bps now). [2] Growth outlook is uncertain:
