DBS calls for discipline in volatile world

In an era of extremes where volatility persists, wealth and longevity take centre stage, says Mr Tan.

Edwin Tan, market head of DBS, said 2025 delivered resilient yet uneven returns amid sticky inflation, shifting expectations for interest rate cuts, and heightened policy and geopolitical uncertainty.

The year underscored how quickly market dynamics can change, as the US passage of the Genius Act marked a milestone in the adoption of digital assets, while American tariff announcements triggered sharp repricing across equities, currencies, and other risk assets, highlighting the influence of policy and geopolitics on global capital flows.
