"The STI reaching 5,000 is a landmark moment for Singapore’s equity market," says Eugene Koh, a sales trader at CMC Markets Singapore. "The journey from 4,000 to 5,000 took less than 11 months, reflecting not just market momentum but a genuine re-rating of Singapore equities."
Singapore’s flagship Straits Times Index (STI) passed the 5,000 point mark for the first time on Feb 12, hitting 5003 points shortly after markets opened.
The STI passed its last major milestone on March 28, 2025 when it crossed 4,000 points. It went on to pass the 4,600 mark in December.
