Singapore Hot Stocks-Banks in focus after DBS profit jump

SINGAPORE, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Singapore's banks will be in
focus on Friday after DBS Group (DBSM.SI) reported a 49 percent
surge in third quarter profit, the latest in a series of
better-than-expected results for the city-state's lenders.

U.S. stocks jumped on Thursday, pushing the S&P up for a
fourth day, as economic data boosted confidence in the recovery
and strong results from Cisco Systems (CSCO.O) suggested a
rebound in technology spending. ----------------------MARKET
