when the lot gets smaller, it drives the price down too. leaving all the smaller investors on high now losing money.
On Monday SGX cut the board lot on DBS, OCBC and UOB to 10 shares — one lot of DBS fell from S$7,721 to S$772. By Thursday the same three banks were more than 60% of all short selling on the market, and members had taken both halves apart.

cutting lots is just giving citizen a hope of owning shares. but what is the after effect? will it drive the price up or down?
SGX Cuts the Board Lot for DBS, OCBC and UOB From 100 Shares to 10 Today
Mon 5 Oct 2026 | Morning
The Numbers
From today, SGX board lots fall from 100 units to 10 for 11 counters, including DBS, OCBC and UOB, per SGX and Beansprout. At Friday's closes (DBS S$77.21, UOB S$43.11, OCBC S$31.66), one lot costs about S$772, S$431 and S$317, against about S$7,721, S$4,311 and S$3,166 before. SGX opens at 9am. The STI closed Friday at 5,634.82 (-0.6%) and ended September 1.4% lower, with five constituents positive for the month, per Beansprout.
On Wall Street Friday, the Dow closed at 51,176.96 (+0.49%), the S&P 500 at 7,722.72 (+0.73%) and the Nasdaq at 27,190.86 (+1.19%). AP attributes the rally to the September jobs report, with payrolls up 29,000, below expectations, and unemployment at 4.2%, which curbed expectations of Fed rate hikes and pushed Treasury yields lower. Brent was US$102.25 (-0.06%) per EnergyNow, which links the flat finish to the G7's 100 million barrel reserve release. USD/SGD is 1.2793.
BT reports CDL's Lucerne Grand sold 350 of 570 units (61%) at an average S$2,480 psf over its launch weekend.
My Personal Take
Yesterday I measured DBS, UOB and OCBC as 14%, 27% and 67% away from my 4.7% hurdle. It took me a moment to see that the lot change moves none of those numbers. It cuts the cash for one lot to a tenth, while the yield is the same payment over the same price. Saturday I said a Monday SGS print would show whether Singapore follows the US move down. I do not have one at this hour. I will watch turnover in the 11 counters over the first weeks, and one day of volume would not settle it. 🦖

everyone is watching the Reit but how well are they doing in the local market or oversea?
The rate hike landed and the S-REIT aisle filled up rather than emptied — plus who benefits from an "AI slowdown", and what an ex-dividend date actually costs.

nice to see Singapore banks are doing well and they are the catalyst of SGX.
will DBS continue to be the strongest of all the banks?

The Federal Reserve's modern monetary policy cycle is actually focused on rate cuts, not rate hikes.
Unless an unprecedented resurgence of inflation forces an abrupt reversal, the debate on "Fed Night" is typically over the pace and scale of rate reductions (e.g., 25 bps vs. 50 bps) or whether the committee chooses to hold.
Here is what drives the current dynamic:
* Policy Direction: The aggressive 2022–2023 rate hike campaign concluded after taking the federal funds target range to 5.25%–5.50%. The current cycle shifted toward easing as inflation cooled from multi-decade highs.
* Key Focus Areas: Rather than preparing for hikes, markets monitor whether labor market softening justifies accelerated cuts or if sticky service inflation requires holding rates higher for longer.
* The "Fed Night" Watchlist:
* FOMC Statement & Target Range: The immediate decision on the federal funds rate.
* Summary of Economic Projections (SEP / "Dot Plot"): Where policymakers expect the terminal rate to settle over the next 1–3 years.
* Press Conference: Chair Powell’s commentary regarding the balance of risks between unemployment and inflation.
At 2:00am SGT tonight, the US Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates for the first time in three years by 25 bp, to the 3.75%–4.00% range.For the past two years, the question was “when do...
