Asian Shares Fall as Oil Prices Drop 26 January 2016 12:12 Investors in Asia were back to selling Tuesday, as falling oil prices delivered a fresh blow to the region' s energy stocks. In Hong Kong, the energy sector was down 4.9%, dragging down the Hang Seng Index by 1.9%. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index of Chinese firms trading in Hong Kong was down 2.5% at 7970.69. That benchmark hit a closing low of 7835 last Thursday, and currently trades at its lowest levels since 2009. The Nikkei Stock Average fell 1.8%, with Tokyo-listed oil developer Inpex Corp. down 4.3%, The Shanghai Composite Index was down 2% and South Korea' s Kospi was down 0.9%. Markets in Australia and India are closed for holidays. The same concerns that have haunted stocks this year remain: Oil prices are trading near multiyear lows, and investors are worried about a slowing China and plans by the US Federal Reserve to raise interest rates But increasingly, the oil market is driving the action.. " The volatility [in oil] is not helping restore confidence back in the market," said Robert Levine, head of Asian sales and trading at brokerage CLSA. " It' s not easy to put on new bets." Brent crude oil gave up gains earlier in Asia to trade down 2% at $ 29.90 a barrel. In the US, prices had fallen 5.7% on Monday to $ 30.34 a barrel. Brent oil is now down nearly 20% year-to-date. But its losses have not helped airlines, which usually benefit from lower costs on oil. China South Airlines Co. Ltd. and Japan Airlines Co. Ltd. slipped a fraction on Tuesday, leaving them down 21% and 1.6% respectively year-to-date. Worries about slower global growth are overshadowing the benefits of lower oil, explained Mr. Levine. In Japan on Tuesday, shares were getting pressure from the Japanese yen, which strengthened by 0.2%, to Yen118.09 per US dollar. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. was down 3.2%. South Korean shares fell after data showed that the country' s economy slowed sharply in the final quarter of 2015. Gross domestic product expanded at a seasonally adjusted 0.6% in the October-December period from the previous quarter, after a revised 1.3% gain in the third quarter. The latest growth figure was exactly in line with the median forecast of a 0.6% expansion in the fourth quarter, according to a Wall Street Journal survey. Gold, a safe haven, was up nearly 0.7% at $ 1,112.80 a troy ounce early in Asia. In the US, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1.3% overnight. |

China Focus China pours $ 96 billion into financial system before holiday January 26, 2016: 12:17 PM China' s central bank said Tuesday it was injecting 440 billion yuan ($ 96 billion) into the money market, seeking to ease tight liquidity ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday when demand for funds surges. The injection through the regular open market operations of the People' s Bank of China (PBoC) was the largest since 2013, Bloomberg News reported. Chinese companies typically pay salaries and bonuses before the holiday, which falls in early February this year. People also traditionally exchange cash and gifts during the period. " It is standard practice for the PBoC to inject large amounts of liquidity into the banking system ahead of Chinese New Year," Capital Economics said in a research report last week. " If it did not, the increased demand for cash during the holiday would cause liquidity conditions to tighten significantly and interbank rates would surge." The PBoC last week flooded the financial system with more than 1.5 trillion yuan. Some analysts have likened the latest fund injections to a loosening of monetary policy or a replacement of funds lost to capital outflows. ANZ Banking Group said the injections have prompted the central bank to hold off lowering the reserve requirement ratio (RRR) for banks - the amount of funds they must put aside - though a cut would eventually be needed to help boost the slowing economy. " The PBoC has continued to inject short-term liquidity via open market operations and other policy tools in January and refrained from further reserve requirement ratio cuts," ANZ said in a research report on Monday. " While the PBoC has used other tools to manage short-term liquidity in the market, we believe that further RRR cuts are still needed," he said. China' s economy grew at its slowest rate in a quarter of a century in 2015 at 6.9%, raising expectations for further cuts in interest rates or reserve requirements. |

Stocks To Watch F & N, SMRT, Keppel, Ascott REIT, Mapletree Log, NeraTel January 26, 2016: 8:45 AM Here are some stocks to watch this Tuesday morning. Fraser and Neave confirmed it is interested in acquiring the Peroni and Grolsch beer brands. F & N was referring to the article published by Reuters on Monday, entitled " Thai Bev says F & N bids for Peroni, Grolsch beer brands" . However, F & N insists there is no certainty of any transaction materialising. F & N closed 2.31% higher at $ 1.99 on Monday. SMRT Corp recorded a 63.5% jump in earnings to $ 36.9 million for 3Q ended December from a year ago, owing to an improved performance from its non-rail businesses. Revenue rose 4.6% to $ 327.6 million on the back of the revenue growth from all of its businesses. SMRT shares closed 0.36% lower at $ 1.38 on Monday. Keppel Offshore & Marine, a unit of Keppel Corp, said repeat client, Gulf Drilling International (GDI), has renewed options for two more rigs after taking delivery of the third in a series of jack-up drilling units from Keppel Fels. The options are for two more repeat KFels B Class rigs for deliveries in 2018 and 2019, says Keppel O & M. Keppel fell 4.18% to $ 4.81 on Monday. Ascott Residence Trust' s distribution per unit (DPU) fell 4% to 2.07 cents in the 4Q15 ended Dec, from 2.16 cents a year ago. But if the one-off item of about $ 6.1 million in 4Q14 was excluded, DPU would have risen by 18 % to 2.07 cents from 1.76 cents. Revenue leapt 26% to $ 119.2 million from $ 95 million previously. Ascott REIT ended flat at $ 1.10 on Monday. Mapletree Logistics Trust posted a DPU of 1.87 cents for 3Q ended December, unchanged from a year ago. Income available for distribution rose 0.6% to $ 46.5 million, due to a partial distribution of the $ 1.5 million gain on divestment of 134 Joo Seng Road and 20 Tampines St 92. MLT' s units closed 1.09% lower at 91 cents. Nera Telecommunications said its subsidiary has won a $ 10 million contract to supply a turnkey television transmission system for a television station network in South East Asia. The contract is expected to be booked in 1Q. NeraTel shares closed 1.6% lower at 60 cents. Markets US stock markets fell once more Monday as a renewed slump in oil prices, anxiety over global economic growth and central bank policies all but wiped out last week' s brief recovery. The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 208.29 points, or 1.29%, at 15,885.22, the S & P 500 ended 29.82 points, or 1.56%, lower at 1,877.08 and the Nasdaq Composite finished 72.69 points, or 1.58%, lower at 4,518.49. The Straits Times Index ended the day 0.22% higher at 2,582.64. Market breadth was negative. Excluding warrants, decliners outnumbered gainers 215 to 177. A total of 910.1 million shares worth about $ 1.04 billion changed hands. |
