Iran war is “over” – How would I invest $1 million today for the recovery? Buy bank stocks, AI, REITs?

Well, in case you missed it – the Iran war is “over”.

For stock markets, the Iran war being “over” has been all but priced in since Trump chickened out in early April.

But this week, with the signing of the MOU, oil markets finally got the memo.

And yet because oil price has been high for so long, markets have shifted from pricing in rate cuts at the start of the year, to now pricing in rate hikes.

With big implications for markets.

So… with all that is in play, how would I invest $1 million today?

It’s been ages since I’ve done a no holds barred macro piece tying into how to invest my own portfolio.

Exactly what I wanted to do today.

Why you should put S$1 into SRS before 1 July — Before the Retirement Age rises to 64

On 1 July 2026, Singapore’s statutory retirement age increases from 63 to 64.

Your SRS withdrawal age – the age at which you can access your SRS savings without penalty – is fixed at the statutory retirement age prevailing at the time of your first contribution.

From 1 July 2026, that age becomes 64.

In plain English – if you open an SRS account and contribute a minimum of S$1 by 30 June 2026, you lock in the current withdrawal age of 63 – for life.

That gives you penalty-free access to your SRS savings a full year earlier, regardless of when you actually start contributing in earnest.

For $1, I think that’s a no brainer.

In this article, I wanted to discuss how the SRS works, why the withdrawal age lock-in matters, and why I think the S$1 top-up before the deadline is worth doing even if you have no immediate plans to use the SRS.
