Financial sector net inflows were led by UOB, OCBC, SGX, Yangzijiang Maritime and UOBKH on Monday, with the five stocks averaging a 1.6% session decline.**   - **Technology sector net inflows were led by UMS, Venture, ISDN, PC Partner, Frencken, Nanofilm and AEM on Monday, averaging a 0.7% session decline, reflecting selective participation across capex-linked and semiconductor-facing names.**   - **Singapore’s outlook into 2H26 remains one of moderating but still resilient growth, supporting continued demand for electronics and capex-linked segments even as cost pressures build. However, rising energy and logistics costs alongside renewed trade frictions are tightening conditions, reinforcing more selective flows and at times erratic market behaviour.** Between last Friday’s STI close and Monday’s open, global conditions turned notably tighter, with the US Dollar Index moving back above 100 for the first time in two months, 10-year US Treasury yields rising about 10 basis points, Brent crude up around US$2 per barrel, and Nasdaq futures down about 3.3%, reinforcing a more cautious and selective tone at the start of the week. The STI declined 1.7%, with the iEdge Singapore Next 50 Index down 1.0% and the iEdge S-REIT Index lower by 0.7%, with institutions overall net sellers and retail net buyers. However, flows were not broad-based, with activity becoming more selective across sectors. The global rotation pressures at the start of the week also saw overall net outflow to Singapore-listed ETFs, amid the broader risk-off conditions. However, as many as 35 ETFs recorded net inflows, amounting to around S$20 million, while the remaining 10 ETFs saw net outflows of S$41 million. Top inflows were led by SPDR Straits Times Index ETF at S$6 million, followed by Amova Singapore STI ETF and Lion-OCBC Securities Hang Seng Tech ETF at S$2.8 million each, Lion-Phillip S-Physical Gold ETF at S$2.3 million and Amova Asia ex-Japan REIT ETF at S$1.6 million. The next five ETFs booking net inflows were Amova SGD Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF at S$0.9 million, SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust at S$0.7 million, Lion-Phillip S-REIT ETF at S$0.7 million, Lion-OCBC Securities APAC Financial Dividend ETF at S$0.5 million and Lion-OCBC Securities Singapore Low Carbon ETF at S$0.4 million, with overall net outflows masking broad-based inflows across the majority of ETFs. **Financials and Tech Led Yesterday's Institutional Net Inflows**  Across local stocks, selective institutional flow landscape emerged on Monday, with net inflows concentrated in two primary sectors even as most sectors booked net outflows. Financial Services and Technology (Hardware/Software) anchored the day’s positive net institutional flows, securing S$26 million and S$9 million respectively, reflecting targeted positioning rather than broad-based risk appetite. Within Financial Services, net institutional inflows were led by United Overseas Bank, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation and Singapore Exchange, in addition to Yangzijiang Maritime Investments and UOB Kay Hian. This more than offset net outflow from DBS Group Holdings, that followed strong net inflow over the past week, and more than S$600 million net inflow in May. Technology flows were similarly selective, with institutional demand focused on capex-linked and semiconductor-facing names including UMS Holdings, Venture Corporation, ISDN Holdings, PC Partner Group, Frencken Group, Nanofilm Technologies International and AEM Holdings, while notable outflows in Addvalue Technologies and CSE Global, alongside broadly weaker price action across the sector, highlight both stock-level selectivity and a sector-level divergence in performance. The 20 stocks that booked the highest net institutional inflow yesterday are tabled below.    **Stocks with Highest Net Institutional Inflow on Mon 8 June 2026** **Code** **YTD ADT S$M**   **Mkt Cap S$M** **YTD Px**  **Chg %** **YTD**  **NIF**  **S$M**   **Mon**  **Px**  **Chg %**   **Mon NIF**  **S$M**   **Sector**  UOB U11 121.27 62,835 8 21.6  \-2.0 **25.74**   Financial Services  Seatrium Ltd 5E2 35.08 6,850 \-7 10.3  \-0.5 **6.91**   Industrials  UMS 558 24.64 2,218 120 57.0  \-1.2 **6.49**   Technology (Hardware/ Software)  OCBC Bank O39 136.90 105,212 19 85.1  \-2.3 **4.68**   Financial Services  YZJ Shipbldg SGD BS6 78.22 13,671 \-1 18.3  \-2.8 **4.43**   Industrials  Keppel BN4 56.58 19,021 2 \-62.4  \-1.2 **4.06**   Industrials  Venture V03 14.51 5,072 16 44.1  \-1.7 **3.85**   Technology (Hardware/ Software)  SGX S68 56.52 22,949 26 163.8  \-1.4 **3.02**   Financial Services  SATS S58 20.27 5,764 1 40.0  \-3.3 **2.66**   Industrials  HongkongLand USD H78 31.67 20,036 4 38.6  \-1.6 **2.19**   Real Estate (excl.

The flow pattern also aligns with a still resilient but tightening macro backdrop. Manufacturing conditions remain firm, supporting demand for electronics and capex-linked segments, even as input costs and margins come under pressure. At the same time, higher energy and shipping costs, alongside expected US tariff reinstatement in 2H26 and softer global demand, are reinforcing a more selective investment stance. For Financials, elevated system liquidity and cross-border flows remain supportive, underpinning balance sheet strength and margin resilience in a higher-rate environment.  Singapore’s outlook remains one of moderating but still resilient growth, supported by firm manufacturing activity and capex demand, even as rising input costs and margin pressures are starting to weigh more broadly across sectors. At the same time, higher energy and logistics costs, alongside renewed trade frictions, and softer global demand into 2H26, are tightening conditions reinforcing a more selective operating environment and, at times, more erratic investment conditions.  _**Enjoying this read?**_ - _Subscribe now to our_ SGX My Gateway _newsletter for a compilation of latest market news, sector performances, new product release updates, and research reports on SGX-listed companies._ - _Visit_ SGX Data Desk _for direct access to SGX analytics and historical market data._ ### Related Stocks - [O39.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/O39.SG.md) - [558.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/558.SG.md) - [U11.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/U11.SG.md) - [S68.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/S68.SG.md) - [V03.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/V03.SG.md) - [SOXL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXL.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [UOB's potential asset management sale could unlock value for wealth push](https://longbridge.com/en/news/289107272.md) - [OCBC to offer physical gold trading, storage in Singapore](https://longbridge.com/en/news/288998048.md) - [This Is What A Broken Market Looks Like](https://longbridge.com/en/news/289594993.md) - [Singapore banks see uneven exposure, with DBS most affected](https://longbridge.com/en/news/289535107.md) - [RCM Technologies (NASDAQ:RCMT) Upgraded to Buy at Wall Street Zen](https://longbridge.com/en/news/289679884.md)
