Stocks are in the midst of an August swoon. Is this finally the beginning of the long-awaited correction? Well, if I really knew the answer to that, I probably wouldn't be.............What I do know is this. Fears about the Fed getting ready to finally do something that rhymes with papering once again causing stocks to slide. Like they did in June, as uncomfortable as it is to watch the mkt fall for four straight days (losing streak may end today though), we need a little perspective. Sure, VIX (VIX) is hovering near 15. That's the highest level measure of volatility since early July. And CNNMoney's own Fear & Greed Index, which looks at the VIX and six other market indicators, briefly flashed signs of Extreme Fear this morning. The last time investors were that scared was also early July.

Stock markets now very lembek. RMB is moving up strongly as banks and big investors are throwing away their US dollars.. CNYis slated to become a standard currency of trade in the near future, and that is not far away and when it finally replaces the USD, US Stocks might collapse This is real frightening but it is the reality we cannot hide. We only hope that Singapore market won't collapse as many of us are still holding plenty of shares..Using the CNY is the way out for Asia and SE Asia as this will minimize a US default should it happen when it stops printing money to pay debts. The only best alternative is to hedge our investments buy buying Chinese Yuan... IMHO

Asian financial crisis just like '97-98?
Malaysia next in crosshairs as Asian contagion risks grow
 [KUALA LUMPUR] Indebted, commodity-dependent Malaysia will be in investors' crosshairs on Wednesday as heavy selling of Indonesia and India's currencies threatens to spread to other Asian economies seen as most vulnerable to a withdrawal of US monetary stimulus. After Indonesia, where concerns over a gaping current account deficit sparked a stock market and currency rout this week, Malaysia and neighbouring Thailand are seen as the most vulnerable Southeast Asian markets to contagion effects. " There is a lot of resemblance to prior crises like 1997-98. We have had two countries going down, India and Indonesia, and now you have got to start thinking about the third and fourth countries," said Pradeep Mohinani, a Nomura credit analyst in Hong Kong. " The likely candidates would be those with high fiscal deficits, slowing economies and high foreign ownership of government bonds. Thailand and Malaysia tick most of the boxes in that regard." Economists say that both those countries, as well as the fast-growing Philippines, are to some extent protected from major turmoil by their much stronger external balances compared with Indonesia and India. |

DBS Vickers: STI?s pullback to 3180 last Friday is in line with our view that the index will likely turn choppy heading towards September with near-term support at 3170. The lack of earnings upward revision in the just concluded 2Q result season and the shadow of QE tapering come September is likely to contain STI at/below 13.9x (average) 12-mth forward PE in the weeks/month ahead. Past this choppy period in the near-term, we see STI rising to the 13.9x (average) FY14F PE at 3390 by year-end. We also maintain our view that the correction triggered by QE tapering talk back in May has ended at 3066. Unless fresh macro uncertainties strike, we do not expect a re-test of this level. |

Free money by the FED spike inflation as the natural economic outcome. Inflationary pressure is bound to attack stocks without exemption. China will soon realize it has to liquidate US treasuries if it wants to stay afloat as an economic powerhouse, not to be dragged down by US. Alot of things is bound to happen in the next couple of months. So be careful, as I have warned of the bear coming. However, many Sg pennies are still under-priced, so even if we have a bear in our midst, sg-pennies will still be chased for as can be seen recently. It is just the beginning for SG Pennies, and we still have long way to go. |

Traders will be looking for clues on how quickly the Fed will roll back its US$85b in monthly bond purchases when the last policy meeting minutes are released this Wed. More heads up may also come from the annual central bank conference at Jackson Hole later this week. Meantime, storm clouds are swirling over Asia as liquidity tightens and China?s slowdown, coupled with economic woes in India, Indonesia and Thailand are fuelling a sell-off in regional stocks, reversing a flow of money into the region. About US$8.4b have been withdrawn from emerging market ETFs this year, sending the rupee, rupiah and baht reeling. In contrast, investors poured US$156b into the developed markets, including US, Europe and Japan. |

China posted a second consecutive month of capital outflows in July, adding to tight conditions in an already strained financial market, central bank data showed. China's central bank and financial institutions sold a net Rmb 27.47b (US$4.50b) of foreign currency in Jul, compared with net sales of Rmb41.21b in Jun. Jul is the second straight month of net sales--after six months of net purchases-- pointing to continued capital outflows. The outflows come as several emerging markets experience a similar draining of capital as the U.S. Fed moves closer to rolling back a series of quantitative easing programs that began in 2008. The anticipated end of quantitative easing is seen as likely to push up U.S. interest rates, making investments in that market more attractive to investors than they had been in recent years. |
