No bull, no bear - semua sudah mati. Today, total trading value even > 400 mil. N as is the norm, falls> rises. Isn' t it embarrassing? Last two yrs have been same pattern. We can say how high index went this yr, or last yr. But fact is was it a fleeting period or sustained at the high level. To me, index seems to be sinking maybe 70% of the last two yrs. Even the bears are dead, n can' t even scare the sgx management to wake up. |

Maybe they are working on FED upping another 0.75% by end 2016. If they ae really longing USD< then likely they will play USD up in coming months. SIBOR will likely follow, meaning local interest rates up be up too.

No gift for Wall Street on Christmas Eve Wall Street finished a little lower on Thursday as a drop in energy stocks kept a lid on holiday cheer during a shortened Christmas Eve trading session. Equity markets wrapped up a session of subdued trading at 1 pm EST (1800 GMT), ahead of the Christmas Day holiday on Friday. Volume on the US exchanges was 2.7 billion shares, compared to a 7.5 billion average over the last 20 trading days, according to Thomson Reuters data. Oil prices rose marginally, with US crude set for gains for a fourth straight day. [O / R] But the S & P energy sector .SPNY snapped a three-day winning streak, declining 0.91 percent. Exxon Mobil (XOM.N) lost 1.07 percent and was the biggest drag on the benchmark S & P 500. The largest positive influence on the S & P was Facebook (FB.O), up 0.37 percent. A rally earlier this week left the S & P 500 marginally in positive territory for 2015, but the index is still down almost 1 percent for December, disappointing investors hoping for a rally ahead of Christmas Day. " People are saying: ' Hey, I want to protect my portfolio and my gains and let' s make sure we' re in a defensive position come Monday' ," said Jake Dollarhide, chief executive officer of Longbow Asset Management in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI lost 0.29 percent to end at 17,552.17 points and the S & P 500 .SPX dipped 0.16 percent to 2,060.99. The Nasdaq Composite .IXIC added 2.56 points or 0.05 percent to 5,048.49. Nine of the 10 S & P sectors declined. Data on Thursday showed jobless claims fell to 267,000 last week, beating the 270,000 estimated. Claims have stayed below 300,000 for 42 weeks in a row, helping the Federal Reserve' s view of a stabilizing labor market. With 2015 largely a lost year for stock investors and the US Federal Reserve raising rates earlier this month for the first time in almost a decade, some looked ahead to 2016. " The consensus is that the Fed is going to raise rates pretty slowly and that the economywill be able to absorb those rate hikes," said Giri Cherukuri, head trader at OakBrook Investments LLC, which oversees $ 1.3 billion in Lisle, Illinois. " So the first thing next year will be to track the path of that economic growth." MBIA (MBI.N) shares rose 8.17 percent after Puerto Rico' s debt-ridden power utility PREPA tentatively agreed to restructure its debt. MBIA is one of PREPA' s bond insurers, as is Assured Guaranty (AGO.N), which rose 2.35 percent. Dow component Nike (NKE.N) dipped 1.82 percent from an adjusted close of $ 64.36 on Wednesday. The stock' s 2-for-1 share split comes into effect on Thursday. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners on the NYSE by 1,648 to 1,344. On the Nasdaq, 1,516 issues rose and 1,190 fell. The S & P 500 index showed 11 new 52-week highs and no new lows, while the Nasdaq recorded 47 new highs and 29 new lows. |

Asian Markets Higher as Oil Gains 4 December 2015 9:40 A rally in oil is bringing a long-awaited, year-end rally to Asian markets Thursday. Energy shares were among the strongest in the region, with the sector in Australia rising 3.3%, as US oil prices rebounded. Energy shares on the S & P / ASX 200 are on track to rise nearly 7% this week, which would be the strongest performance since the week ending Oct. 9. The broader Australian benchmark rose for the seventh-straight day, up 1.3%. Elsewhere, Japan' s Nikkei Stock Average rose 0.6% after being closed Wednesday for a national holiday. South Korea' s Kospi edged up 0.4%. Hong Kong' s Hang Seng Index is up 0.8% while the Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.1%. December has been brutal for oil, whose prices have slumped roughly 10% in the US, thanks largely to a global glut. Energy shares in Australia and Hong Kong are down 7.8% and 2.4%, respectively, this month. But an official report that US stockpiles shrank last week surprised investors, who expected a slight buildup to inventories. US oil prices rose 3.8% overnight to $ 37.50 a barrel. Brent crude oil, the international benchmark, was last up 1.2% at $ 37.86 a barrel in Asia, although it is down 15% month-to-date. On Wednesday, the US Energy Information Administration reported the nation' s crude stockpiles fell by 5.9 million barrels last week. Many investors have been hoping for a stronger year-end rally, as the uncertainty hanging over the Federal Reserve' s interest-rate decision cleared when it raised rates earlier this month for the first time in nearly a decade. But a rebound has taken shape only in recent days alongside the modest rally in oil, now at roughly a two-week high in the US In China, meanwhile, the State Council, or cabinet, said Wednesday that it will launch a new startup board in Shanghai for the country' s small and innovative companies. It did not provide further details, although the board will likely face competition from the existing ChiNext market, a Nasdaq-style startup board in Shenzhen. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this year that China would launch the board by year-end, but China' s stock-market crash this summer has put many of its intended market reforms on hold. ChiNext shares are up nearly 90% this year, outpacing the Shanghai Composite Index' s 12.4% gain, despite a summer rout that brought Chinese stock markets down by more than a third at the worst point in August. The ChiNext is flat early Thursday. In recent weeks, buying by domestic insurers in Chinese property stocks has fired up the Shanghai market again, with the benchmark on track to gain 5.5% this month. One of the beneficiaries in recent weeks has been China Vanke Co., which is fighting a group of shareholders, including privately owned conglomerate Baoneng Group, that want to take over the company. In a statement late Wednesday, Vanke, China' s largest home-builder , welcomed Anbang Insurance Group as a key shareholder, winning an important ally. Shares of Vanke in Hong Kong and Shenzhen have been suspended since Dec. 18. They have risen 19% and 62% on those respective markets month to date. In other news, China' s central bank said it would extend the yuan' s trading hours in the mainland market starting next month. The move was much anticipated, aimed at increasing the currency' s global appeal. The currency' s value onshore has stabilized this week after falling to its lowest in four years against the US dollar last week. The onshore yuan last traded at 6.4767, roughly flat from late in Asia Wednesday. Gold prices gained 0.3% to $ 1,071.60 a troy ounce. |

Hong Kong Stocks to Rise on Oil Rebound 24 December 2015 9:17 Hong Kong stocks could rise Thursday on Christmas Eve as investors react to a rebound in crude-oil prices buoyed by an unexpected drop in oil supplies. US stocks closed 1.2% higher overnight, led by gains in energy and materials sectors. Hang Seng Index futures are following the lead with a 0.9% gain in the morning. The benchmark looks on track for a 1.3% weekly gain. " Equity markets look keen to have a good Christmas break and deal with the hangover of ongoing systemic issues in the New Year," says brokerage IG. Investors, having digested the plans announced during China' s Central Economic Work Conference that concluded this week, may also be eyeing commodities-related stocks set to benefit from the push for more fiscal stimulus. " Metals prices and major materials companies are slowly playing catch up to the implications of China' s CEWC and its commitment to further stimulus," IG adds. |

On Wall Street, oil proffers modest Santa Claus rally Wall Street rallied for the third consecutive session on Wednesday, propelled by sharp gains in energy stocks as a rebound in oil prices boosted sentiment heading into the Christmas holiday. The S& P 500 finished 1.24 percent higher, bringing its gain this week to almost 3 percent following a soft start to December. For 2015, the S& P 500 has emerged into marginally positive territory, up 0.26 percent while the Dow Jones industrial average is down 1.24 percent. " There is a bit of a Santa Claus rally here. People want to feel good, they want to dress up their portfolios and look fullyinvested going into yearend," said Tim Ghriskey, chief investment officer of Solaris Group in Bedford Hills, New York. Crude prices climbed after U.S. inventories fell but still hovered near multi-year lows as oversupply concerns persisted. The S& P energy sector .SPNY surged 4.24 percent, its heftiest one-day increase since August, trimming its deep loss in 2015 to 21 percent. Chevron gained 3.92 percent and Exxon shares rose 3.27 percent, providing the biggest boost to the S& P 500. " The perception is that crude prices may have bottomed, at least for the time being," Ghriskey said. Freeport-McMoRan jumped 16 percent following gains in copper prices. That contributed to a 2.36 percent gain in the materials index .SPLRCM, which was also helped by a report that China is set to cut its steel surplus that has kept prices at decade lows. The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI ended up 1.06 percent at 17,602.61 points. The S& P 500 .SPX gained 25.32 points to 2,064.29 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC added 0.9 percent to 5,045.93. U.S. stock markets will have a shortened session on Thursday and stay closed on Friday for Christmas. Trading volumes are expected to remain thin through the holiday period. Data indicated the outlook for the economy remained encouraging, with consumer sentiment at a five-month high in December and personal income rising for the eighth straight month in November. However, non-defense capital goods orders excluding aircraft, a closely watched proxy for business spending plans, fell last month as a stronger dollar and spending cuts dragged. Celgene (CELG.O) rallied 9.83 percent after the drugmaker said it settled a patent litigation over its top-selling cancer drug, Revlimid. The stock gave the biggest boost to the S& P and Nasdaq. Nike reversed early gains and lost 2.38 percent. The stock hit a record high earlier in the day after the world' s largest sportswear maker reported strong results. Micron shares dropped 2.22 percent after the memory chip maker forecast a surprise loss for the second quarter. Bed Bath & Beyond fell 4.58 percent after the home furnishings retailer cut its third-quarter profit forecast. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners on the NYSE by 2,681 to 434. On the Nasdaq, 2,061 issues rose and 807 fell. The S& P 500 index showed 13 new 52-week highs and two new lows, while the Nasdaq recorded 46 new highs and 52 new lows. Volume on U.S. exchanges was 6.4 billion shares, compared to a 7.6 billion average over the last 20 trading days, accordingto Thomson Reuters data. |

On Wall Street, oil proffers modest Santa Claus rally
Wall Street rallied for the third consecutive session on Wednesday, propelled by sharp gains in energy stocks as a rebound in oil prices boosted sentiment heading into the Christmas holiday.
The S & P 500 finished 1.24 percent higher, bringing its gain this week to almost 3 percent following a soft start to December.
For 2015, the S & P 500 has emerged into marginally positive territory, up 0.26 percent while the Dow Jones industrial average is down 1.24 percent. " There is a bit of a Santa Claus rally here.

The S & P 500 .SPX gained 25.32 points to 2,064.29 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC added 0.9 percent to 5,045.93.
