Fed's Lockhart: The U.S. economy lost some momentum

sourec: Sina Finance YORK September 23 evening news,

Atlanta Fed President Lockhart said on Monday that the U.S. economy is losing some momentum, which requires creative leaders to help regain growth momentum.

Lockhart in New York, said the data showed the U.S. economy is slowing employment growth, fewer companies to increase their employees, less employee resigns in search of better job opportunities. In addition, labor productivity in recent quarters have also been weakened.

Lockhart said he believes the trend in productivity growth slowdown will be temporary, but he pointed out that many economists are more pessimistic about the economy's pace of innovation. He said the creation of the new company will eventually slow down.

Lockhart said the power loss is partly due to the recent recession and slow recovery concerns people. He was a review of monetary policy, except to say that the Fed " can help provide modest favorable interest rate environment to stimulate faster economic recovery," and help other policy decisions take effect.

The EDGE Weekend Comment Sept 20

Centurion offers steady growth for investors By Chan Chao Peh While investors worry about the effects tapering can have on the market, there are the stocks of some companies that seem to remain impervious to what Ben Bernanke says. One such company is Centurion Corporation. The surging construction demand in Singapore, underpinned by multi-year public sector housing and infrastructure projects, means the armies of foreign workers will not go away anytime soon, even though the government has urged the sector to improve its productivity. Meanwhile, the existing 740,000 foreign workers still need a place to stay.

Today, there are only some 160,000 beds available within so-called purpose-built workers? dormitories, which has helped driven monthly rental up by 30%, notes DBS Vickers analyst Tan Ai Teng in a Sept 19 report. Centurion, Singapore?s only listed dormitory operator, now manages 18,000 such beds. The company is therefore in a good position to take advantage of this demand, notes Tan. He has initiated coverage on the company with a ?buy? call and target price of 77 cents. The company closed 0.5 cent higher to 59 cents on Friday, Sept 20. Centurion,

which earned $16 million on revenues of $65 million in FY12, is projected to grow its earnings to $35 million in the current FY13, on revenues of $64 million. Come FY15, earnings are likely to reach $39 million on revenue of $79 million, according to Tan. The growth will be boosted by not only rental increases, estimated at 5% per year, but also the additional capacity. ?Further acquisitions and higher than expected rent rates are potential upsides,? she writes. Centurion, which was previously known as SM Summit Holdings, traces its history back to 1981 as a manufacturer of data storage products. SM Summit was listed on the SGX in 1995. After a reverse takeover by Westlite Dormitory in 2011 for $85 million, it was transformed into the Centurion of today. Since the RTO, the company has grown the number of dorm beds it has from 5,300 to around 30,000 beds today. There is an additional 25,000 beds planned in total. Interestingly,

  Centurion has retained the former core business of making optical disks. However, management has stated it has no further investment plans for this business. Following a one-off $3.9 million write-off of related assets, Tan believes the company will quit the optical disk business by 2016. Centurion now operates three dormitories in Singapore: Westlite Toh Guan, which has 4,836 beds, located on 60-year leasehold land with 45 years remaining the 8,600-bed Westlite Tuas, a temporary dormitory with 3.5 years remaining on its lease and Westlite Mandai, which is a 45%-owned joint venture with construction and property firm, Lian Beng. Ths dormitory, which has 4,750 beds, sits on a freehold site. By early next year, an additional 5,300 beds will be added to the capacity. Centurion is not only operating within Singapore. Since 2011, the company has expanded across the Causeway, with 11,000 beds across four different dormitories, which are used to house manufacturing industry workers. ?The key advantage of Centurion?s Malaysia dormitories is that they are able to house thousands of workers, which allows MNCs to consolidate all their foreign workers in one location, as opposed to housing them in separate smaller dormitories,? writes Tan. The company has plans to double this existing capacity to 23,000 by 2015 as existing developments are completed. Tan believes that Centurion, given its recurring income nature, should be compared to other local landlords, namely,

  SingLandand UIC, both of which earns around 80% of their profit from rental income. SingLand and UIC are now valued by investors at 13.1 times and 13.4 times FY14 earnings respectively, while Centurion, at a slightly higher 14.4 times. Tan says Centurion?s slight premium is justifiable given the company?s better potential for earnings growth. Seen from another metric, Centurion has a price/earnings to growth ratio (PEG) of 0.4 times, compared to 1.1 times for SingLand and same as UIC?s 0.4 times. Tan?s target price of 77 cents implies a PEG of 0.52 times for FY14 ? putting Centurion in line with the average ratios of the other two landlord plays.

QE contraction mystery when market turmoil will

The Fed announced on the 18th to maintain a monthly asset purchases unchanged at $ 85 billion, the market by surprise, once triggered a global stock markets and other risky assets collectively rose. However, in the St. Louis Fed President Bullard said that may start in October after slowing the process of purchase bonds, stocks and precious metals prices down quickly.

Analysts believe that U.S. economic growth is still slow, the Fed exit monetary easing measures is unknown, but the potential of the U.S. budget negotiations has just kicked off, investors need to assess the uncertainty, the short-term will be on the sidelines expected market volatility may increase.

  Exit " boots" to be landed

Federal Reserve monetary policy meeting later in the latest accident on hold and lowered growth expectations for the U.S. economy, exceeding the market widely expected. Federal Open Market Committee said it would wait until the economy stabilizes more signal appears, will begin to adjust the speed of asset purchases.

The Fed's decision to make the debt purchase market slowdown is expected to once again produce a specific time differences. Goldman Sachs said in a report released on the 18th of December is expected the Fed will purchase bonds began to slow down, and in the end of September 2014 purchase of debt, which is better than previously expected time was delayed for three months. Goldman Sachs also expects the Fed to be early in 2016 for the first time raised the federal funds rate.

Goldman Sachs economists said, is expected to begin in December slowed purchase debt based on two grounds, first Bernanke has stressed the Fed hopes to assess the economic rise in mortgage interest rates and tighter financial conditions after they have steady growth, and in the end of October monetary policy meeting before the U.S. economic data is limited. Second, the Fed's monetary policy in December will arrange regular press conference and updated economic assessment report, which help to explain its policies and measures.

Analysts also this year the Fed began to slow down in the debt purchase was questioned. Chapdelaine, president of foreign exchange trading Borthwick believes that the current U.S. economic growth has not yet seen to " stick to the point where you can put aside the Fed" debt purchase plan is still " economic crutch."

The Fed's latest high-level speech of the Fed monetary policy uncertainty further. St. Louis Fed President Bullard on the 20th, said the second half of the expected improvement in the economy there is no " real" is the impact on the Federal Reserve in the latest meeting, decided not to cut debt purchase the main factor, which is a " very difficult decision." But he also said the Fed is entirely possible monetary policy in October announced the start of regular meeting of the scale of debt reduction options, as it is expected the next few quarters inflation will rise, and further growth in the job market also increased the probability of debt reduction options. Brad is a vote in favor of dovish Fed kept policy unchanged one of the officials.

Kansas City Fed President George also publicly stated on the 20th, the labor market has been " significant" improvement postpone purchase debt reduction may make the market size will be mistaken economic prospects. George said the past few months, the Fed be costly to reduce the debt purchase market scale preparation, and postpone purchase of debt reduction " caused confusion" will make the Fed faces credibility and predictability challenges. George has the right to vote this year, monetary policy, the Federal Open Market Committee against maintaining ultra-loose term stimulus hawks.

Fed's next policy meeting will be held October 29-30, 2009 meeting, regular meetings so far is not yet a news conference arrangements. However, in the 18th Bernanke said the Fed may announce at any regular meeting slowdown in debt purchase, and may be related to changes in temporary arrangement conference call with the media and marketing communications.

  Raised concerns about fiscal problems

In the latest monetary policy statement, the Fed decided to maintain existing assets in explaining the reason for buying the size that fiscal policy tightening and rising mortgage rates, the economy under pressure, " In recent months, tightening fiscal environment, if this This trend continues, it could improve the economy and the job market slowed down. "

America's 2013 fiscal year will end on September 30, but so far Congress has not passed any information about the next fiscal year budget proposal. Besides the U.S. federal government debt hit a size limit may be in October. If Congress and the White House in the coming weeks on the new budget and can not raise the debt ceiling to reach an agreement, the U.S. government will be faced with the possibility of debt default and closing, which will lead to new concerns.

Bernanke's press conference on the 18th, said if you can not raise the debt ceiling to avoid a government shutdown, it may be on the financial markets and the economy have very serious consequences. Because of financial problems, including a range of factors, including concerns about the Fed's latest economic outlook report will 2013 U.S. economic growth forecast from 2.3% three months ago, down from 2% -2.6% -2.3% record over the past year, the biggest drop in short-term forecast.

Pacific [-0.38% funding research report] Investment Management Company (PIMCO) Co-Chief Investment Officer Elvis Lee believes that the Fed is still very worried about the weak overall economic situation, so they preferred to maintain a loose policy braved extreme risk for too long, do not want early tightening.

September 20, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted to pass a bill to allow the Government to ensure that funding has been operating to December 15, but refused to Obama's health reform program funding. Obama then rebuked the Republican attempts to raise the debt ceiling and cut health care costs funded by bundling practices and that it would not reach the scale of forced debt ceiling breach caused the pressure to accept unreasonable demands made by congressional Republicans and with the negotiations. Bipartisan outset of the negotiations shows great differences that outsiders would feel worried.

Market volatility will increase

In the 18th Federal Reserve kept constant progress of existing assets purchased after U.S. stocks rose sharply, the S & P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Index [0.16%] both closed at a record high. Every other day of the Asia-Pacific and European markets follow Wall Street rally, especially after the Federal Reserve cut due to concerns about quantitative easing setback suffered by Indonesia, Malaysia and other stock market rebound is particularly evident. Meanwhile the price of gold and silver and other precious metals rallied. The New York Mercantile Exchange, the main gold (1319.90, -12.60, -0.95%) futures contract prices rose 4.22 percent in the 18th, to close at $ 1,365 an ounce, silver (21.49, -0.44, -2.01%) futures contract price rose 5.5%.



But market optimism quickly dissipated. The 19th U.S. stock trading lackluster, the three major indexes fell. Every other Asian markets also generally weaker, the 20th Nikkei 225 index closed down 0.2 percent, Singapore's Straits Times Index fell 0.4 percent, the Philippines Composite Stock Price Index fell 1.34 percent, Indonesia's Jakarta Composite Index [0.11%] fell 1.9%. India's National Stock Exchange index fell 1.7%.

In last Friday Brad and George have been published to support the share of debt reduction after the speech, the U.S. stock market fell sharply on the 20th, basically taking the earlier monetary stimulus the Fed to maintain gains achieved after constant. As of the day the Dow Jones industrial average fell 1.2 percent, the highest over the biggest single-day decline in a month, the S & P 500 index fell 0.7 percent, the Nasdaq [microblogging] Composite Index fell 0.4%. Gold and silver prices fell in tandem, New York gold futures prices supplied by the main force on the 20th fell by 2.7 percent, at $ 1,332.50 an ounce, silver futures fell 6.4 percent, to $ 21.80 an ounce.

Market analysts believe that the market rally rapid conclusion suggests that investors are considering the next step how to act, rather than rush into the market. Allianz U.S. investment strategist Hooper believes that the market is not yet clear why the Fed started to slow down debt purchase, while the upcoming U.S. budget negotiations may make many investors on the sidelines. Rockwell Global Capital Cardillo, chief market economist pointed out, the market worried about the next question will be the U.S. Congress budget battle, which could make the market too much for some.

Fed QE sword hanging Topsy global markets continue

socure : sina

Remittance Network Sept. 21 hearing - " Yama told you three more dead, who would keep people to just before dawn." This week (September 16 -20 week), the Fed will undoubtedly become the market to determine the core strength. Summers withdrawal from Fed chairman cause the dollar sharply lower on Monday, the week the Federal Reserve announced a surprise $ 85 billion a month to maintain debt purchase the same size, the market surprise. Then to the final doves leader Brad said that in October there is likely to reduce QE, resulting in gold and silver has fallen sharply. It can be said that the Fed this week's every move, sparked a wave in the market.

In this September has experienced the most exciting week, investors are still found, QE sword still hanging overhead. Future market, turn back, " observed U.S. data - interpretation of Fed officials speak - assess the resolution next Fed move," the old road up. Perhaps, there are a lot of investors for this " reincarnation" fatigued, there are some investors will remain this bored. However, no matter where is a tragedy this week, your income is too is lost, the market will move in the next step by step. Survival of the fittest, is always the same truth in this market.

Of course, back to the market news perspective, despite the current September " big month" has passed a half, the most exciting resolution Fed has sadly ended. However, this does not mean that investors can right next to the market lightly. Next week the market will continue to face a lot of risk events, including the Federal Reserve officials on economic and monetary policy measures of the latest assessment and expectations, the latest developments in the U.S. financial crisis, as well as the upcoming weekend's German elections, will become the next market to decide key.

Technically, the dollar index opened low this week, the final single week fell 1.32 percent. In the weeks since the low of 80.01 refreshed February, it also fell below the shock box in recent weeks interval. However, the good news is now the United States has not dropped below 80 means the integer points, is expected in the short term, the market is an important psychological support will be able to bring some support for the dollar. After an afternoon rest after the rally may still lack. Above the resistance may be concerned about 81.55 near the bottom if the fall 80 mark, it will point to the low for the year 78.92.

This week hot Review



Summers withdrawal Fed chairman, for the market sow doves " seed"

Earlier this week, the first big event affecting the market is undoubtedly " Summers exit Fed chairman about race," the report, the event so that non-US currencies against the U.S. dollar opened higher across the board Monday, the Australian dollar is a high open-hundred points.

The Wall Street Journal reported that former U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers on September 15 calling U.S. President Barack Obama, which means that its exit on one of the next Fed chairman post race. Summers to Barack Obama on the phone after the letter said, " I have to admit that my election will cause further more intense turbulence, which is the Federal Reserve, the current government and even the current economic recovery in the United States are unfavorable." .

Obama said in a statement that he accepted Summers' exit decisions. Obama will Summers described as " my team together experienced the worst economic crisis of the important members" " His power, wisdom and leadership in rescuing the economy, and promote the process of credit huge progress."

Summers and Yellen same as the next Fed chairman candidate. Summers's exit means that Obama needs in other potential candidates in the appointment of the next Fed chairman, including Fed Vice Chairman Janet Yellen, a former Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Donald Kohn and former U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Cover Turner.

Summers has opposed the quantitative easing monetary policy compared with the control of the economy, Summers tend to fiscal policy hawks representative. Once the exit while Summers, the most likely candidate to take over the Fed chairman, undoubtedly fell Yellen's head. Since the Fed Yellen is currently being considered as a more dovish tendencies, the global currency markets open on Monday after a major earthquake triggered a series of surprising.

  Fed unexpectedly anything, the global market completely " shocked"

It can be said on Wednesday the Fed resolution, is undoubtedly week, this month, even during the most market attention since a major risk events. In advance, including many well-known global investment bank, hedge fund, the Federal Reserve Deep Throat, etc., are widely expected the Fed is expected to announce cuts at this meeting QE scale, however, the result of the resolution but ultimately the Fed to tell the world: Sometimes, I hope the greater the disappointment larger, say nothing expect the Fed to be market led by the nose.

Federal Reserve (FED) on Wednesday announced $ 85 billion a month to maintain debt purchase the same size. The Fed bought $ 45 billion a month longer-term U.S. Treasury bonds, the monthly purchase of $ 40 billion mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and maintain funds rate unchanged at 0-0.25% range.

The Fed reiterated that as long as the unemployment rate is higher than the 6.5% expected inflation one to two years less than 2.5%, and the longer-term inflation expectations is no upward trend, the Fed will maintain the federal funds rate at 0-0.25% range.

17 officials of the 11 expected by the end of 2015 interest rates will remain at or below 1.0% 17 officials of the 14 expected by the end of 2014 interest rates will remain at or below 0.25% 17 officials of the 10 expected by the end of 2015 rates will maintain or less than 0.1%.

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke (Ben Bernanke) said at a news conference later, just when the unemployment rate fell to 6.5 percent consider raising interest rates until after the employment market situation far less than the expected level, but still improved. The Fed also said its exit quantitative easing (QE) is no timetable, and he is expected within a few years after 2016 interest rates will rise to 4%.

The Fed's decision is clearly contrary to inaction investor expectations. Ever since Wednesday, a series of global financial markets, the records were broken: Gold (1319.90, -12.60, -0.95%) since January 2009 hit the best single-day performance 5-year U.S. Treasury yields hit 2009 3 months since the largest single-day drop dollar index hit this year, the third-largest single-day decline U.S. real estate builders plate stock hit in June 2012 the largest increase since Dow Jones and S & P record.

It can be said that the Fed's decision to make after including Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Barclays, JP Morgan Chase and other most internationally renowned investment bank forecasts all come to nothing, and even the Fed news agency said the Wall Street Journal reporter Hilsenrath also did not expect the Fed will choose inaction .

  Fed QE first time point and then cut into controversy: October or December?

And if you want to think about the Fed QE after the resolution of the discussion will be temporarily shelved, it is clearly wrong. On Friday, the Fed's hawk-dove representatives of the two factions were George and Brad made a speech. And ultimately, had previously been regarded as doves diehard Brad said that in October there is likely to reduce QE, resulting in gold and silver has fallen sharply.

St. Louis Fed President Bullard on September 20 that the Fed might change its policy meeting in October, or small-scale contraction bond purchase program, and in the just-concluded meeting of inaction is more reluctant decision. He also said that October's meeting has not been arranged news conference as planned, but can be temporarily arranged.

Although Brad is not clear that in October he would support reducing QE program, but the market is currently a member of the banner as doves, accident QE problem in reduced somewhat relenting, the market was still quite surprised. Friday morning in New York silver (21.48, -0.45, -2.05%) fell 6.3 percent up, hit the biggest decline since July. Gold fell 2.4 percent up, hit the biggest decline since June.

The foreseeable future for the first time when the Federal Reserve reduced the QE debate will continue. Of course, the current mainstream market perspective, the reduced support in December for the first time, still more. A well-known foreign media on September 20 announced the findings show that most analysts expect the Federal Reserve will purchase bonds in December began to cut the size. Because by the next Fed chairman and the U.S. government debt ceiling two problems interference has 42 analysts surveyed expect the Fed to start cutting in December QE, only six that October meeting begins.

Next Week

The Fed this week, " Fun" , after the global market next week, investors still can not be too complacent. Perhaps, in September of the event which is not destined month will be especially idle for one week.

Sunday (22 September) will be held in Germany in the 18th Bundestag elections. Although, from the current situation, most Merkel was elected prime minister for the third time, but her ability to maintain the right-wing coalition which still doubt. If Merkel's ruling coalition instability, possibly making her euro policies are more complex, and the euro constitutes suppressed.

Last Emnid poll results show that the German Prime Minister Angela Merkel (Angela Merkel) where the center-right coalition in a slight advantage to 45-44 ahead of its left-wing opposition party. Another two German pollster Forssa (Forsa) and Alun Ba Institute (Allensbach) results released Friday showed, with the left-right opposition party in the state of evenly matched.

Moreover, as the U.S. debt ceiling deadline approaches, the federal government's fiscal problems will once again become the core of market attention. Previously, industry analysts have pointed out that the outlook for the U.S. fiscal problems fear, may also lead to the Federal Reserve on Wednesday the main reason for inaction choice. And Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke (Ben S. Bernanke) on the day of his speech at the press conference also stressed the U.S. fiscal policy risks. This makes the news also continues to pay close attention to by the parties.

U.S. House of Representatives on Friday passed a federal government agency's short-term financing method, aimed at addressing the U.S. government on October 1 to December 15 period of short-term financing problems, to prevent government agencies shut down, but the exchange is to cut Medicare funding fund, which is also bound to be subject to Obama's veto, which means that the recent financial crisis in the United States is still no solution.



As the U.S. House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner (John Boehner) Earlier on Thursday (September 19) has said that the U.S. debt default on the Republican " no good" and therefore the two parties in this respect there is actually a consensus, but in reality political interests of the face, the two sides will continue in the next one month tug of war on this issue, trying to seek more reality-based side benefit, which makes the current debt ceiling crisis is still possible to repeat the previous drama, at the last moment be resolved. After all, no one really wants to see the results of the U.S. Treasury default. But market sentiment affected by this situation to continue thereafter mercy, but also material is inevitable.

Of course, the global economic data next week, there are also many highlights. In Europe and the world's major economies, manufacturing PMI data will be released next week, focus on Anglo-American GDP, U.S. and Japanese inflation data will also have appeared. In September, the Fed on hold, these data will clearly affect the quality of the decision-making toward the next major central banks. Moreover, Fed officials will continue to be a big speech the same topic. Kansas Fed President George next week, the Chicago Fed President Evans and Minneapolis Fed President Kocherlakota will continue to speak on the topic of reducing QE is still worth investors pay close attention.

Implications for Singapore

The pullback on Wall Street overnight is likely to cue the local bourse to a negative start this morning.

After another 1.8% gain yesterday that added up to a more than 120 points surge over the past week, the STI could have exhausted its upside move in the near term.

And with today?s tone likely to turn more downside biased and the index already nearing its key 3270 peak resistance, we could see selling pressure heading back into the market.

This could send the index pulling back towards the 3220 resistance-turned-support, while the next base lies at the 3180 support. Meanwhile, the subsequent obstacle is pegged at the 3330 support-turned-resistance.
