 Nice to be Back.
With Euro Crisis re-emerging (Greece and Portugal... contagion? Italy & Spain) and Mid-East potential unrest (Egypt President forced down by Army), it is interesting to see that the HSI and STI doing well today.

STI fundamental under value now with PE 12.85 but technically STI chart is bearish on top of the recent woes in Portugal, Eygpt and China issues. Sentiment is not so bullish after all. http://mystocksinvesting.com/stock-market-indices-pe-ratio/global-stock-market-indices-pe-ratio-at-a-glance-4-july-2013/

Aussie Rebounds as Jobs Data Lifts Asia Stocks Oil Gains
Australia’s dollar rebounded from the weakest level since 2010 and Asian stocks rose as signs of improvement in the U.S. job market burnished the outlook for the world’s largest economy. Oil held at a 14-month high after the ouster of Egypt’s president and gold gained. The so-called Aussie jumped 0.2 percent by 10:22 a.m. in Sydney as the U.S. dollar weakened against 12 of 16 major peers, while the yen strengthened. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index of regional equities climbed 0.2 percent as shares in South Korea and Australia gained. Futures on the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (SPX) added 0.1 percent. Crude rose 0.1 percent to $101.35 a barrel, after rallying 1.7 percent yesterday on declining U.S. stockpiles and concern the crisis in Egypt will disrupt supplies from the region. Gold prices increased a second day. Reports in the U.S. showed companies hired more people than economists predicted last month and that jobless claims fell before monthly payrolls figures due July 5. The data may help investors determine whether the American economy is strong enough for the Federal Reserve to begin reducing its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases. Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Glenn Stevens said yesterday the Aussie has been too high and the economy may get a weaker currency if needed. “I’m skeptical the Aussie will fall significantly further unless we see a larger deterioration to the outlook for China,” Janu Chan, a Sydney-based economist at St. George Bank Ltd., said by pnone. “The RBA has ramped up the talk about the Aussie being high, really talking it down in a way.” Futures maturing this month on the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index of Chinese stocks traded in Hong Kong climbed 0.4 percent. Japan’s Topix Index dropped 0.6 percent, poised for its first retreat in six days, while Korea’s Kopsi Index rose 0.5 percent and Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 gauge surged 1 percent. U.S. Holiday The S&P 500 erased a decline of as much as 0.6 percent in New York to close 0.1 percent higher. About 3.6 billion shares changed hands, 46 percent below the three-month average as exchanges closed at 1 p.m. Bond markets shut at 2 p.m. and American financial markets are closed today for the Independence Day holiday. Global stocks have slumped more than 6 percent since May 22, when Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke signaled stimulus could be tapered should the job market continue to improve. “Equities are still attractive,” David Cassidy, Sydney-based head of equity strategy at UBS AG, said by e-mail. “While global economic growth is traveling below long run trends it is still positive and corporate earnings are still growing at a moderate pace. Ultimately a move to taper quantitative easing because of ongoing good news in relation to U.S. growth shouldn’t worry equities.” Payrolls Outlook The ADP Research Institute said yesterday that U.S. employers added 188,000 jobs in June, more than the 160,000 median estimate of economists and analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News. Jobless claims decreased by 5,000 to 343,000 in the week ended June 29, from a revised 348,000 in the prior period that was higher than initially reported, the Labor Department said. The Bloomberg survey median called for 345,000 claims. The July 5 Labor Department report is forecast to show the world’s biggest economy added 165,000 jobs in June and the unemployment rate declined to 7.5 percent from 7.6 percent, according to the median of economists’ estimates. The Institute for Supply Management’s non-manufacturing index dropped to 52.2 in June from 53.7 the prior month. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey called for a rise to 54. A reading greater than 50 indicates expansion in the industries that make up almost 90 percent of the economy. Kiwi, Yen The Australian dollar strengthened to 91.05 U.S. cents, after slumping 0.7 percent yesterday to the weakest intraday level since September 2010. New Zealand’s currency rose 0.1 percent to 77.88 cents, while the NZX 50 Index gained 0.1 percent. The yen climbed 0.1 percent to 99.84 per dollar, after jumping 0.7 percent yesterday. The currency also strengthened against the euro, adding 0.1 percent to 129.90 per euro, after rallying 0.5 percent yesterday. The Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback against six major peers, fell 0.1 percent, continuing yesterday’s 0.4 percent drop. West Texas Intermediate crude was set for the highest close since May 2012, while gasoline futures added 0.2 percent. Suez Canal Egyptian pound forwards slid to a record-low yesterday and stocks in the nation fell after President Mohamed Mursi rebuffed the military’s deadline to end a political crisis. Mursi was ousted by the army after markets closed in New York. The military suspended the constitution and announced an early presidential election in a bid to resolve the political crisis that has polarized the nation. Egypt controls the Suez Canal and the Suez-Mediterranean Pipeline, through which 2.24 million barrels a day of oil was shipped from the Red Sea to Europe and North America in 2011, according to the U.S. Energy Department. Crude’s gains were also fueled by data showing the largest decline of the year for U.S. stockpiles. “The market could see some sell-off after oil broke through a short-term peak,” Seo Jong Bae, a trader at Tongyang Futures Co. in Seoul, said by phone. “Any disruption of supply stemming from the Egyptian turmoil can be aided by other oil-producing countries empirically. Still, there’s a further room for prices to move higher should a modest U.S. recovery continue.” Gold added 0.2 percent to $1,255.70 an ounce, extending yesterday’s 0.8 percent climb, while silver gained 0.2 percent. Tin for three-month delivery slipped 0.8 percent. MSCI’s Emerging Markets Index rose 0.3 percent in early trading, gaining for the first time in three days.

S’pore shares are likely to be weighed by a revival of European woes amid a slowing Chinese economy and lack of fresh leads from Wall Street. US stocks saw modest gains in a shortened session as improving private sector jobs data overshadowed political turmoil in Portugal and Egypt. Oil rallied above US$100 per barrel as declining US stockpiles and the ouster of the Egyptian President stoked concerns of supply disruptions. Meanwhile, Portugal yields surge on fears of a government collapse follwing a spate of cabinet resignations, while the IMF gave Greece three days to meet its bailout terms in order to receive the next tranche of aid. Greece, which has EUR2.2b of bonds to redeem next month, has missed a June deadline to put 12,500 state workers on a 12-month outprocessing scheme In the absence of any market moving news, the STI is expected to drift sideways with a downward bias with upside resistance pegged at 3,200 and underpinned by support at 3,090. |
