Singapore shares close lower in cautious trading market waits for Trump policies THE reflation play that marked most of November and December 2016 appears to have gained momentum this month, with stocks largely trading within narrow bands with a slightly downward bias bias. Over on Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is estimated to have tested the 20,000 level at least 20 times in the past few weeks but has yet proven ability to close above it, mainly as doubts surface as to whether the incoming US administration can deliver On its campaign promises. |

Asian shares mixed Nikkei up 0.3%, ASX down 0.6%, Kospi slips 0.2% Asian markets were a mixed bag early on Friday, after U.S. stocks fell overnight as risk sentiment sours ahead of Donald Trump' s inauguration and investors look ahead to China GDP, retail sales and industrial production. Japan' s Nikkei 225 was up 0.35 percent in early trade, after initially opening negative. Australia' s S & P / ASX 200 were down 0.58 percent, dragged by material and financial plays. Over in South Korea, the Kospi was weaker by 0.22 percent. The dollar had initially risen as high as 101.73 against a basket of currencies on the back of strong U.S. economic data, but slipped to trade 101.15 during early Asian time. " With less than 24 hours to go before Donald Trump becomes the President of the United States, investors are dumping dollars ahead of the inauguration as they worry about the new President' s trade and currency policies," said Kathy Lien, Managing Director of FX Strategy for BK Asset Management, in a note early Friday. Lien warned that " politics will overshadow economics" on Inauguration Day with four or five executive actions to be taken on the first day. Aside from Trump-related news, China' s fourth-quarter and full-year gross domestic product figures will likely be on investors' radar. Asian Indexes

The index also recorded a five-day losing streak.

The Nasdaq composite fell 0.3 percent. " Part of it is people taking profit off the table," said John Traynor, chief investment officer at People' s United Bank. " We were surprised by the November-December rally, so taking profit off the table the day before the inauguration makes sense. " In economic news, weekly jobless claims dropped 15,000 to 234,000, around their lowest levels in 40 years. Housing starts, meanwhile, spiked 11.3 percent in December, beating estimates.

Stocks close mixed as earnings season continues financials lead U.S. stocks closed mixed on Wednesday as investors digested remarks from the top Federal Reserve official, having parsed through a series of corporate earnings and economic data. " Short-term overbought conditions continue to challenge the major US equity indices, which have exhibited weak short-term momentum in recent weeks," said Katie Stockton, chief technical strategist at BTIG. " The 20-day moving average has flattened for the [ S& P 500], which last occurred in the beginning of September before a more significant pullback developed." In prepared remarks, Fed Chair Janet Yellen said the US economy is closing in on the central bank' s goals, giving it impetus to start reducing the extreme levels of support it has provided over the past decade. " Right now our foot is still pressing on the gas pedal, though, as I noted, we have eased back a bit," Yellen said. Treasury yields extended gains after Yellen' s speech was released, with the benchmark 10-year note yielding 2.42 percent. Market participants have been largely focusing on President-elect Donald Trump' s plans for fiscal stimulus, deregulation of certain sectors and tax reform. The broader U.S. indexes have risen to record highs since the election. Overseas, European equities closed slightly higher, as the Stoxx 600 index gained 0.18 percent, a day before the European Central Bank delivered its latest monetary policy decision. In Asia, stocks closed mostly higher, with the Shanghai composite advancing 0.14 percent and the Nikkei 225 rising 0.43 percent. U.S. crude prices fell 2.67 percent to settle at $51.08 per barrel amid the prospects of rising shale production. Read more.... |

Straits Times Index 3,000.22 -0.42% -12.55 ▼
Singapore shares close mixed, despite STI falling for 3rd straight day SELLING in the shares of the three banks on Wednesday dragged the Straits Times Index to its third consecutive loss - down 12.55 points to 3,000.22. Turnover amounted to 1.6 billion units worth S $ 1.1 billion, the dollar value elevated by volume done in the banks which was S $ 224.6 million or 20.3 per cent of the total. Excluding warrants there were 241 rising versus 197 falls throughout so the session was more mixed than the index' s reading would indicate. The weakness came despite a 20-point rise in the Dow futures which suggested a firm Wednesday for Wall Street, as well as a 1.1 per cent rise in the Hang Seng Index. These gains, as well as those for the UK pound, came after British Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday outlined her plan for her country' s withdrawal from Europe that was seen as being slightly more constructive than feared. |

Asian shares to focus on dollar weakness, pound strength and Fed Futures pointed to a lower open for Asian equities, following President-elect Donald Trump' s jolting comments that the dollar is too strong, prompting the greenback to fall to a one-month low. Trump made his comment about that dollar was " too strong" which makes it hard for American companies to compete with China, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. The US policy has been for a strong dollar since the Clinton administration' s Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin. The dollar index, which tracks the currency against a basket of major currencies, was at a one-month low at 100.31 in early Asian time. Meanwhile, sterling saw its biggest one-day gain against the greenback since October 2008 after British Prime Minister Theresa May announced her plan for a clean break between the U.K. and the European Union. The pound soared against the softening dollar, to trade at $ 1.2408, earlier trading as high as $ 1.2415. Down Under, the ASX 200 fell 0.64 percent in early trade, weighed heavily by its heavily-weighted financials sub-index. Nikkei futures in Chicago were down 0.2 percent, at 18,775 while Osaka futures slipped 0.55 percent, at 18,710. The Nikkei 225 finished at 18,813.53 in the previous session. |

Stocks close lower amid Trump policy concerns financials dive 2% U.S. equities fell on Tuesday, with financials lagging, as uncertainty around President-elect Donald Trump' s policies grew. " I' t not about proposals anymore ... but what are they going to do," said Brent Schutte, chief investment strategist at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management. " I think investors are at a pause trying to figure out what' s next." He Also said he is positive about US equities, noting underlying global economic growth has been overlooked. The Dow Jones industrial average closed about 60 points lower than simple falling 100 points, with Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase contributing the most losses. The S & P 500 fell 0.3 percent, with financials dropping more than 2 percent. " The [S & P 500] remains bound by a consolidation phase that reflects an indecisive market as we approach the inauguration," said Katie Stockton, chief technical strategist at BTIG, in a note. " We believe the risk is greater to the downside in the Near term, and would be wary of a breach of the lower boundary of the range near 2250. " The Nasdaq composite declined 0.6 percent, while the small-caps Russell 2000 dropped 1.44 percent. " You do not know what' s going to happen. So it' s hard to reposition into this or that," said Jeff Layman, partner at BKD Wealth Advisors. Trump criticized a proposed corporate tax plan from the House of Representatives, labeling the plan as " too complicated," in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. The stock market has soared since the election partially on hopes of corporate tax reform, deregulation of certain sectors and more government spending. Trump' s inauguration is scheduled for Friday. " There' s a lot of nervousness as Trump gets set to take office," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at First Standard Financial. " Until we see what he does in his first 100 days, I think the market is going to remain in a Wait-and-see pattern. " Adding pressure to US stocks were concerns of a hard Brexit. In a speech Tuesday, British Prime Minister Theresa May indicated the United Kingdom would seek a clean break from the European Union. She added, however, The UK government will put the Brexit deal it Agrees with the European Union to a parliamentary vote. There are no major U.S. economic data due Tuesday, but a slew of firms reported quarterly results, including Morgan Stanley, which beat analyst expectations on both the top and bottom line. Morgan Stanley shares fell 3.8 percent, however. Read more.... |
