0237 GMT - Singaporean banks and nonbank financial institutions should benefit from higher safe-haven flows, especially from Middle Eastern wealth centers, amid the Iran conflict, Maybank analysts say in a report. This may boost their wealth management fees and could push up their 1Q net interest income. Wealth-management platform iFAST's topline growth, for instance, may be supported by gains in assets under administration and deposits at its U.K. banking unit, Maybank says. A prolonged war, however, may slow global growth and weigh on credit demand, it says. (amanda.lee@wsj.com)
