x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	STOCKS NEWS ASIA-Markets extend gains after US tech rally Asian stocks extended gains on Wednesday after upbeat earnings from Apple Inc helped U.S. technology stocks rally for a second session, soothing worries about the health of the U.S. economy. But concerns about a global credit squeeze, the U.S. housing slump and record high oil prices continued to simmer. "Earnings from some U.S. companies were not as bad as feared, but the subprime issue and oil prices could re-emerge any time. I still maintain a cautious view on the market," said Cho Seong-joon, a market analyst at Meritz Securities in Seoul. U.S. crude dipped below $85 a barrel on worries about the U.S. economy and signs OPEC was ramping up output, but stayed near the record high of $90.07 set last Friday. At 0025 GMT, MSCI's measure of Asia Pacific stocks excluding Japan <.MIAPJ0000PUS> had gained 0.5 percent, adding to Tuesday's 2.7 percent rally -- its biggest rise in five weeks -- while Tokyo's Nikkei average <.N225> also climbed 0.5 percent. South Korea's KOSPI <.KS11> added 1.4 percent and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index <.AXJO> put on 0.5 percent. A weaker yen prompted some investors to buy Japanese exporters like Honda Motor <7267.T> and Sony <6758.T>, which tend to benefit from the weaker Japanese currency as it helps boosts the value of dollar sales. Stronger appetite for risk is usually bad news for the low-yielding yen, which is often used to fund purchases of higher-yielding, more risky assets in the popular carry trade. Banks were also in favour, continuing to recover from the recent selloff sparked by fears about the credit market problems. Australia's Macquarie Bank , Japan's Mitsubishi UFJ <8306.T> and South Korea's Kookmin Bank <060000.KS> rose between 0.3 percent and 1.2 percent. Investors also bought resource stocks such as global miner BHP Billiton and gold producers including Newcrest Mining , helped by stronger copper and gold prices. Gold was trading near $760 an ounce, not far off the 28-year peak of $770 set on Friday.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Looks like index will end positive at one of these levels: 1. 3665 (old peak in STI); 2. 3688 (another old peak in STI) 3. If there's a lot of shortists today, 3705 may be another closure point.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Q-ing for a few counters at few bids below opening but no movements at all. Thought of naked shorting sembmar at 4.8 but went away from computor (as price was flutuating too fast) and guess it's too late at this time and this price (4.7).

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Yeah, now only about 1.2 b shares traded - way too low. I think STI probably will slip back to around 3665 by end of day.
