Savings 0.88% p.a.
MISP 0.84% p.a.

Returns for MISP can drop below savings interest rate. When newly opened it started off offering good low risk returns and have now become a bunch of lasup products.

Cleaned out all my money and park in Maybank for 2.0% p.a. temporarily. Zero cents left in Maribank. Pui!

Is there a 2% promo for Maybank? I only saw 1.9% bundle offer. Actual return is less than 1.9%.

Not the nonsense gimmick bundle offer. It is fresh funds top up for iSavvy Savings Account.

If you can lock up more than $20k for 1.5 mths for 2% p.a. while looking out for opportunities in the next 2 months. Good enough for me.

Interest rates will be uptrend for now. Next possible Fed rate hike will be in Dec 2026.

Interest rate up is bad for stock right? Increase in borrowing cost

In general, interest rates going up are bad for stocks, yes. It's because investors will find it harder to justify taking on the added risk of stocks when they can get (almost) risk free returns elsewhere.

Higher interest rates may improve bank earnings though over the medium term.

Everything is linked and related. If treasury yields continue rising, you can exit MII but equities and stocks will stop climbing at some point as people suddenly see more value in risk-free assets (like treasuries) and move their $ there instead.
Even STI will be touched at some point, since the US is such a big market. I don’t see how Singapore can escape US influence.
