HSBC Holdings Plc shares rose nearly 2% in London and Hong Kong trading after the bank announced a strategic review of its Singapore insurance operations. The MOVE has reignited speculation about a potential sale of HSBC Life (Singapore), acquired from AXA in 2017.

Market participants view the unit as an attractive asset for global insurers, given its life, health, and savings insurance portfolio. However, analysts caution that such reviews often take months and don't guarantee divestment. Investors await February's annual results for clarity on HSBC's broader capital allocation strategy.

The bank emphasized no decisions have been made, with options ranging from outright sale to partnership or continued ownership. Portfolio optimization remains a priority for global banks navigating post-pandemic financial landscapes.
