The US market will be closed on Monday for Washington's Birthday. So, we and the rest of the world will have to fly solo for a day. Here in Singapore, banks could take centre stage next week after DBS Group (SGX: D05) had set a high bar for the other two listed lenders to follow. In the fourth quarter, Singapore's biggest bank posted a 14% jump in net profit. Both United Overseas Bank (SGX: U11) and Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (SGX: O39) will step forward with their numbers for the final quarter of their financial years. In November, UOB said net interest income improved 5% even though net interest margin fell 0.04% to 1.77%. It was a different story at OCBC that reported a 6% drop in third-quarter profit. Singapore's second-largest bank commented that a one-time charge in Indonesia overshadowed higher lending and wealth management income.
