Straits Times Index 2,911.31 -0.06% -1.77▼
Singapore shares close lower STI dragged down by selling of DBS, OCBC SELLING of DBS and OCBC on Tuesday meant that the Straits Times Index (STI) finished the session 1.77 points lower at 2,911.31. Turnover, which dipped below S $ 1 billion on Monday for the first time in about a month, amounted to 1.6 billion units worth S $ 977 million. Excluding warrants, there were 175 rising versus 270 falls. Two factors were said to be responsible for the drop in volume: the start of the holidays and a flight of capital out of emerging markets into the US dollar, the latter because of higher US interest rate expectations. DBS, which closed at S $ 15.13 on the eve of the US elections on Nov 7, finished at a 52-week high of S $ 18.32 on Dec 7, a gain of S $ 3.19 or 21 per cent in four weeks. On Tuesday, it fell S $ 0.15 to S $ 17.55 on volume of 5.9 million. |

Asia Shares Gain on Strong Global Outlook A positive outlook on the economies of the U.S., Germany and Japan helped Asian traders on Tuesday look past the fallout of the attacks in Berlin and Turkey. Speaking at the University of Baltimore' s midyear commencement ceremony Monday, U.S. Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen said economic gains have created one of the strongest job markets in years for graduates in the States. " [Yellen] is really expecting the US economy to be growing strongly," said Greg McKenna, chief market strategist at AxiTrader. That in turn led to a return of risk-on trade in the market despite the attacks in Berlin and the killing of Russia' s envoy in Turkey, he said. " Markets seem to have moved on." The Bank of Japan on Tuesday raised its assessment of the economy for the first time since May 2015, closing a turbulent year on a positive note, but stood pat on monetary policy. The central said in its post-policy-meeting statement that all risks facing the economy come from offshore, including emerging economies, " especially China." Asian Indexes

Straits Times Index 2,937.86 0.24% +7.09 ▲
Singapore shares end the week mixed as STI rose but broad market softens THE US Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC) meeting this week was meant to be a non-event as markets had for several weeks been expecting an interest rate hike. As it turned out, the Fed lived up to expectations with a 25 basis points rate Hike but simultaneously indicated that there could be three more hikes next year instead of the two that markets had forecast. This unexpected hawkishness brought the sellers out, dragging the Straits Times Index 23 points lower on Thursday. Even with a 7.09 points rebound on Friday, the STI lost a net 20 points or 0.7 per cent over the week at 2,937.86. |

Japan' s benchmark Nikkei 225 gained 0.79 percent, boosted by the weaker yen. A weaker yen usually supports exporters as it boosts earnings repatriated makes pricing more competitive abroad. Australia' s ASX 200 was down 0.05 percent, weighed strongly by the all-ordinaries gold sub-index, which plunged 5.82 percent. In South Korea, the Kospi slipped 0.04 percent. In commodity markets, spot gold was trading at $ 1,127.26 an ounce, near a 11-month low. " Gold was a casualty of the U.S. dollar rally [on Thursday] and gold miners are likely to be under pressure again today," said Ric Spooner, chief market analyst at CMC Markets, in a note on Friday. " Oil, on the other hand is holding up relatively well. Next year' s production cuts are likely to see the market supported with bargain hunters active in quality energy stocks on minor dips," Spooner added. During the Asian trade, US crude oil futures were up 0.41 percent at $ 51.11 a barrel, while Brent futures had settled up 0.2 percent at $ 54.02 in the Thursday U.S. session. Oil prices on Thursday shrugged off the stronger greenback as the market focused on the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Country (OPEC) members' promise to cut production.

Stocks close higher as Dow climbs closer to 20,000 dollar reaches 14-year high U.S. stocks rose on Thursday as a post-election rally resumed, while investors digested a slew of economic data and the Federal Reserve' s decision to raise interest rates. " It appears that this rally has more room to run and the Fed rate hike can not stop this. The US home builders data has confirmed that the housing market is strong and it echoes what Janet Yellen said last night. All eyes are pinned towards that 20K mark for the Dow and bulls are once again in charge of the market, " Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at Think Markets, told CNBC in an email. " This is despite the fact that we are seeing some carnage in the currency market especially if you look at the dollar against the Euro. The pair has made another low against the dollar which we have seen since 2003," Aslam said. That said, Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Boston Private Wealth, said the market might be starting to show signs of exhaustion. " I think, however, we' re still in a long-term bull market in the short term, I Think we' re a bit over-extended, " he said. In oil markets, U.S. crude for January delivery settled 0.27 percent lower at $ 50.90 per barrel, as the rising dollar hit commodity prices. Gold futures for February delivery, meanwhile, fell $ 33.90 to $ 1,129.80 per ounce. Read more.... |

Straits Times Index 2,930.77 -0.79% -23.29 ▼
Singapore shares close lower on worries of more US rates hikes than expected THE US Federal Reserve lived up to expectations with a 25 basis point interest rate hike on Wednesday but the surprise came in its " dot plot" which suggested three rate hikes in 2017 instead of the two that the market had expected. As a result, Wall Street fell sharply and on Thursday, the Straits Times index suffered its largest fall in about three weeks when it dropped 23.29 points to 2,930.77. Liquidity has been a problem throughout the year and other than month-ending window-dressing when volume tended to shoot up past S $ 1.5 billion - on Nov 30 it hit S $ 2.6 billion - most days it comes in at around S $ 1 billion. , 2.1 billion units worth S $ 1.1 billion were traded and excluding warrants there were 146 rose versus 315 falls. All three banks closed weaker as did Singtel. The former have been pushed up over the past fortnight supposedly because higher interest rates suggest better margins the latter fell after Australia' s TPG Telecom was named the local market' s fourth telco. Also weak were Reits, which is to be expected given worries of higher interest rates. |
