for UOB.......i am looking at 27.00 and 27.30 for short opportunity.    IMO DYODD.
For DBS, I am now looking at 26.20 and 26.60 for opportunity to open short.    IMO, DYODD
The gap between UOB and DBS has further narrowed.  The speed of the narrowing is amazing.    This on top of the fact that DBS is not doing any buy back lately.  Have DBS grown smarter?  Instead of direct market share buy back from th market (which don' t seem to work and is viewed by some as a sign of weakness), they have branched out to other methods?  If so, indeed they have grown smarter. 
The few questions I have in my mind at the moment
1) Next week Fed meeting on the 25 and 26  september (US Time)will very likely result in a rate hike, this will impact the bank positively (has the market factored this in?  What % is the market expecting?  will there be surprises?)
2) The implementation of the 200B tariff by US and 60B tariff by China will happen on 24/09/2018 (12:01pm Singapore time).  How much of the market are holding hope for a delay or further toning down of the tariff?
3) Treasury auction on 24 and 25 september 2018 (US Time).  Will Trump try to push the bond rate down (currently 10yr is at 3.066%) by creating an equity sell off?  What excuse is he going to use this time, given the market is reacting lesser and lesser to his usual ploys?.......Will China come into the picture to sell their bond holdings to drive up the Bond  rate as a form of retaliation? 
4) Why isn' t the USD strengthening against the CNY these few days?  Even after China relaxes the CNY trading band.  The demand of USD has dropped and/or the demand for CNY have increase........or have the  supply of USD have increased?

My build up of shorts on banks were cut short by my cut lost trigger on Wed.  Did a review on what went wrong for this trade and found that I have been distracted and have ignore some of the signs, signs which I have ironically posted.
1)  Only OCBC buy back yesterday.
2)    Fed expected to raise rate this month, next week likely.
3) Tariffs going to hit 24/9/2018
4) Treasury auction on the 24 and 25 september
