CPI数据发布后半导体股票强劲反弹❓❗🤔

昨天，CPI数据发布后，半导体股票特别是NVIDIA (NVDA) 出现了强劲反弹❗

🟢 NVDA +8%

🟢 AVGO +6.8%

🟢 AMD +5%

不仅仅是半导体板块，其他板块的股票在经历多日下跌后也出现了复苏迹象。📈

.

通过BM系统，可以看到NVDA其实在3天前就有出现Bottom Signal了。

.

为什么昨天美股半导体大涨？🤔

👉CPI数据涨幅+2.5%，其实不算太高，也不算太低。

美国投资者他们不喜欢太高，也不喜欢太低。

毕竟。。。

🚩低通胀-进入衰退

🚩高通胀-进入加息

通胀还是有在，但是这个2.5%不算太低，代表fed美联储不会降息太多，也代表美元不会那么快贬值~

所以美国投资者对这个消息都是属于比较乐观的🤩

.

但为什么CPI数据会影响美股呢？🤔

👉CPI（消费者物价指数）是美国用来衡量通货膨胀的指数

👉美联储通常会根据CPI来调整利率和政策

👉美联储的每一个决定都会对股市带来重大影响。。

小总：所以这就是为什么CPI数据过后股市也会受到影响

.

那么，接下来该看什么呢？

⭕要看美股半导体能否持续上涨并创新高🤩 

⭕要看NVDA能否突破短期阻力线！

但如果市场没有跟着预期，转回弱势，则需要再进一步观察👀⚠️

Market Outlook Mid June 2019 (Prepared for ZaoBao)

Mid to long term, market remain bullish. Trade war with mexico is over before it actually start, they reach a temporary truce as both US and Mexico agree to do more to stop the migrants, the optimism of the global Trade war having a solution is one of the reason why we see the US stock market move higher over the past 2 weeks. Another reason is the Fed start to worried about the trade war affecting the economy so Fed are looking to cut interest rate, if Fed decide to cut interest rate we might see the market continue it's bull run. 

STI up for 4 out of 5 trading days last week, this show that Singapore investor is coming back into the market. Since the fall in May, STI shed near 300 points from 3411 to 3104 and we are on a recovery with STI gain close to 120 points over the past 2 weeks. We see that the Properties, Electronic, Telco(Singtel) and Bank's sector are leading the market higher

In coming week(17-21 June), Market may go sideway or might have a slight pull back to see what is the outcome of the Fed meeting held on 18-19 June. Electronic stock might get some sell down or profit taking with US giant chip maker Broadcom fell sharply last friday after announcing lower revenue than market estimated

中长期来看，市场依然看涨。与墨西哥的贸易战在正式开始之前就已经找到解决方案。他们已达成暂时休战，因为美国和墨西哥双方同意采取更多措施以阻止移民。相信全球贸易战会有解决方案并表示乐观，是美国股市在过去两周走高的原因之一。另一个原因是美联储开始担心贸易战将会影响经济，因此美联储正在思虑降息，如果美联储决定降息，我们可能会看到市场继续上涨，美股可能再创新高。

上周STI在5个交易日中上涨了4日，这表明新加坡投资者正重返市场。自5月份下跌以来，海峡时报指数从3411跌至3004点近300点，我们正在复苏的阶段，过去两周STI收益率接近120点。我们看到，房地产，电子，电信（Singtel）和银行板块正在引领市场走高

在即将到来的一周（6月17日至21日），市场可能会横盘，或者可能会略微回调看看6月18日至19日举行的美联储会议的结果。美国巨头芯片制造商Broadcom在宣布收入低于市场预期后于上周五大幅下挫，电子股可能会出现抛售或获利的情况。

Market Update - Did you see the July Market Correction happening?

The non farm payroll result was better than expected, 222000 vs  179000 expected, market was pushed up by this news as it firms up the "one more" rate hike in 2017.
上周五美国6月非农就业数据远好于预期, 非农就业人数增加了22.2万，超过了分析师预期的17.9万。 提振了市场情绪，强化了美联储今年还将加息一次的市场认识。

For us, we are watching the Tech sector as they are the main market driver, for the whole week Facebook dropped 2.34%, Alphabet dropped 4.59% Amazon dropped 2.49% and Apple dropped 1.46%. Tech stocks has been the force that drives the market over the past few years, if market were to move higher, I think Tech stocks has to move up too. Another Strong Sector in the US market is Banking & Finance sector, although Tech stock turns weak, the Market did not drop a lot. This is due to Banking sectors holding up. Looking at the chart of Facebook, Alphabet, amazon, Apple, we see that they are turning around from the Support level. The bull is recovering...

上周，Facebook累计跌2.34%，谷歌母公司Alphabet累跌4.59%，亚马逊累跌2.49%，苹果累跌1.46%，美国现在最受关注的就是科技股，如果市场还要往上涨，那就要看看科技股的表现了。另一方面还在支持着市场的就是银行板块，虽然科技股过去两个星期都表现疲弱但股市没有大跌的原因是银行股还在涨。照图表来看，美国科技股已到支撑点了，接下来两个星期可以会有反弹的机会。

Last week Hang Seng Close below 25500 support level making a 1 month low, looks like we are in a correction. Gaming and Technology sector turn weak. Over the past 2 days, we see them turning around, Galaxy Ent 0027.HK & Tencent 0700.HK still uptrend stock, turning up now.

上周恒生收低于25500支撑位，创1个月低位，看起来正在调整。赌场和科技股板块从高位跌落。过去两天，我们看到他们开始转上，Galaxy Ent 0027.HK和腾讯0700.HK还处于上升趋势，可以关注。

China Stock market is strong last week, making it's recovery back above 3200, now is 3190 hovering around this area. It could be due to the China A Shares MSCI inclusion's news that boost investors to look into chinese stock market. Banking Sectors is strong too in china.

中国股市上周强劲，回升至3200点以上，现在盘旋在3190附近。这可能是由于中国A股被纳入MSCI消息，促使投资者关注中国股市。银行也表现强劲。

Singapore market also in correction period, STI is sideway trend since May, support at 3200 and resistance at 3280. Few month ago electronics sectors are the strongest among all other sector and we see that the electronic stock is rising higher in Singapore but now they are weak after global market electronic stock had a correction. Now the stock and sector that support the market is Bank, Property and Reits. Reits is strong right now due to 2 reason, firstly Market is not moving, investors prefer to put in high dividend reits than to put in the bank as interest rate is low. Secondly, Fed already increase the interest rate for 2  time in 6 month, means there is only likely to have 1 more interest rate hike in the second half of 2017, fear of interest rate hike is lesser now. Right now for Singapore, high dividend stocks and bank stock are the strong sector.

新加坡市场也处于调整期，自5月份以来，STI均为横向走势，支撑位于3200，阻力位于3280.几个月前，电子行业是其他行业中最强劲的一个，我们看到新加坡电子股上涨，但现在是全球市场电子股有所回调后疲软。现在支持市场的股票是银行板块，房地产和Reits。强劲的因素有两个，首先市场不动，投资者宁愿投入高股息的股票，而不是放入银行，因为利率还是很低。其次，美联储已经在6个月内增加了两次利率，这意味着2017年下半年只有加息1次，对于接下来的加息以不再恐惧。现在新加坡，高分红股和银行股是强劲的行业。

Malaysia Market also in correction period, our favorite stock like Penta, VS, Prestar, Dufu, JHM, Gkent and many more are weak now. If these strong stocks are still not moving higher. 

马来西亚股市也收到市场的气氛影响，股市也不太会动。我们喜欢的那些强势股Penta, VS, Prestar, Dufu, JHM, Gkent， 也进入了调整区。现在最后就是等待市场反转，把钱放在最好的板块里。

What the market is telling us?

Singapore Market update 15 Feb 2017

Straits times index up 16 points today to 3089 following the strong US market. 

Wall Street hit record highs for a fourth day as Janet Yellen reinforced the view that the world's top economy was in good health, with the jobs market improving and inflation on the dot. Yellen confirmed the next rate hike could come any time, which leaves open the possibility of a move at the Fed's March 14-15 policy meeting. For Singapore market today,  today Banks sector had a cautious session after OCBC's reported a 18% drop in Q4 profit on Tuesday and also due to  the upcoming DBS's results on Thursday and UOB's on Friday.

Market has been going up for quite a while, is the correction coming soon?

In my opinion, the overall market right now is still bullish, with STI above 3000 points I think it is still OK to stay in the market, a correction will come if STI start falling below 3000 point. As for the sectors, we are seeing some profit takings in the banks & property sectors over the past few days, 

** CityDev, DBS,  break 5 day low, 

However right now if you look at Hong Kong listed Chinese bank stock, they seems much stronger. today ICBC up 2.8%, Bank of china 3.9% Bank of comm up 3.9%

What sectors or stocks should the investors be looking right now

Right now we are looking at Stock that is uptrending, like the Commodities, Financing and Gaming Sector. With the profit taking in Banks and property sector, funds will flow into other sectors or stock which have not benefited from the Bullish market. Moreover, investors can also look into some of the stocks that are in discussion on the take over deals.

Finance companies like Singapura Finance, Hong Leong Finance and Sing Investments & Finance up sharply after MAS relax its rule. MAS will now allow foreign takeover of Finance companies

Stock Market Outlook 2017 - Oil & Gas

2016 was a year with alot of uncertainties and surprise for Singapore stock market,. We started 2016 in a panic mode as oil price crashes below $27 and ended 2016 with a bullish mode with dow jones hitting all time high. Oil price was up more than 100% from the low, a surprise rally after Brexit and a unexpected rally after Donald trump got elected.

Overall performance DJI - up 13.1%
S&P -up 9.4%
Nasdaq - up 7.89%
US crude oil $26.55 a barrel lowest in January - to highest 55.44, end the year around $54
STI - up 0.23% close at 2880, highest 2981, lowest 2529. 

Hang seng index -  down -1.87%

Shanghai composite index -Down- 12.52%

Kuala Lumpur Composite index (KLCI) down 3.5%

What we can see is that most of the Asian market is not doing so well, mainly due to capital flow to US market. STI traded near 2850 throughout the year. Highest it reach was 2981 when bank sector rally, lowest it went was 2554 when the oil price was trading below $27.

Will the Oil stock rebound in 2017?

Oil prices is rebounding as mentioned above it moved from $27 to $55, that already tell you that it is obviously not downtrend . With OPEC and other producer agreed on output cut, oil stock could be one of the highlight for 2017.

In 2016, we see that oil stock falling to the lowest point, Ezra & Ezion was at $0.037  & $0.210 respectively in September, that was during the news of "Swiber default on bonds" came out. Now they are $0.05 (up35% from the low) & $0.39 (up 85% from the low) respectively. To me, both is risky stock but Ezion seems to give a better return in terms of the magnitude of the previous upward movements.

What about Sembcorp & Keppel Corp?

Keppel and Sembcorp was trading volatile during the first half of the year, mid year was pretty sideway. Only in November the price start to jump up again. Overall, both stock seems similar in pattern but I will favor Sembcorp Ind over Keppel corp as Sembcorp Ind has better performance than keppel corp over the past few years. Further more, part of keppel corp's business is also in Property, if interest rate up, property sector maybe gloomy.

For more Sector analysis or Market outlook. I will be sharing it on my free seminar this Saturday at SGX auditorium. 

Time: 10am - 1pm

Location: SGX Auditorium

Will the bank sector benefits from the rising interest rate?
Will the 10 year cycle of the Bear market  happen this year? ( like in 1997, 2007, 2017?)
Will STI move above 3000 points?

Market Outlook after Election - What stock to see?

The result of US presidential election surprised markets as Republican candidate Donald Trump was elected. Major Asia Pacific markets broadly fell with Nikkei 225 Stock Average tumbling 5.4%. Hong Kong stocks followed to decline 2.2%. Straits Time Index, after opening higher 17pts, once plunged 60 pts to bottom at 2760. Market recover to close at 30pts or 1.1% to end at 2789 after Trump Victory speech reassures investors on rebuilding the nation and promise to do a great Job.

Overall stock indices are under pressured due to the uncertainties during the votes counting, i believe that this is due to panic selling similar to Brexit. During the asian trading hours, US dollar also fall badly against the Yen, however the losses has been minimize as market calms down after election result is out.

Opportunities?

Just a week ago, i mentioned that we should cash out from stocks and put into gold and Gold is up strongly today. Now is good time to move back to stock, i think stock has tanked enough today and with the new presidency injecting more uncertainties into the US economy, Federal reserve might delay the Rate hike in December. If that is the case, REITS could be a good sector to invest for now. I am looking at Keppel DC reit, Capitacom Reit, Mapletree Com Reits

Market Updates 18 April 2016. Index, Oil, Gold

US market

Last week US market remain bullish, cumulative weekly return for Dow jones is up 1.82%, Nasdaq up 1.8%, S&P 500 up 1.62%. For US index, we still dont see price turning around yet, hence we are still holding on to stocks.Oil future show weakness as of today we are in the 4 consecutive down day. This is usually a bearish sign when we see 4 consecutive down days out of 5 trading day, it show that people are selling. Oil fall to the low of 37.61 this morning but have rebounded during Asia and Europe trading hour.

周五美国股市小幅收低，道指跌0.16%，能源与科技股领跌。本周累计，道指上涨1.82%，纳指涨1.8%，标普500指数涨1.62%。

原油期货价格周五收盘下跌2.8%，连续三个交易日走低，原因是交易商正在期盼定于上

周日召开的多哈会议，各大产油国将在此次会议上讨论冻结原油产量的问题，目的是帮助拉升油价和缓解全球原油供应过剩压力。多哈会议结束冻产协议未达成今早原油期货开盘再跌5%

Fed Meeting

In March 17 Fed meeting did not increase the interest rate, and Fed announce that the rate hike will be 2 time this year instead of 4 time. The next Fed meeting is on 26-27 April, most likely there will not be a rate high this month but we will hear Fed talking about the likelihood of rate hike in June. Though most investor think that Fed will not increase interest rate now, but the Unemployment rate is at 5% now and non farm payroll and CPI result is good, base on the data, economy in recovering. Fed have the reason to talk more about the plan to rate hike in the upcoming meeting on 27 April. 

3月17日美联储会议最终不加息并对未来加息次数预期降为2次. The Fed’s next meeting is April 26-27. 4月联储会议将讨论未来6月加息的可能性，目前市场一致认为美联储加息概率较低，不过目前美国失业率维持在5%及以下水平，非农就业的数据也持续表现强劲，核心CPI持续维持在2%以上，国际市场较为稳定 投资者需要提防4月27日会议发布偏鹰派言论。

Singapore market current at a overbought position, most stock already up and on a high side. This means the risk of a correction in May is likely. I will put 2800 as a point to tell if STI turn around, if it break below 2800 then that is a point to close more position, otherwise will continue holding.

Ezra report big losses last friday, i think oil companies will still report bad result this quarter as last quarter the oil price was at the low, be cautious on this.

this week focus on quarterly corporate earnings result with blue chips such as Keppel Corp, Singapore Exchange (SGX) and Hutchison Port Holdings Trust issuing their financial reports this week.

Malaysia Market - Bank is strong with as malaysia ringgit recover, most other stock did not have a big move since march, except for Airasia, export sector still weak but is forming a support level, possible a rebound at current level. If you see bank start falling and export sector start recovering, then its time for entry.

Gold

Gold is currently the biggest winner, since January Gold price up more than 15%

What about Gold miners?

You probably win more with the Gold miners as they have fallen to pretty low level in the past few years. Some of them like DRDgold(Market cap 192Million) has just gone up more than 300% recently and Barrick gold(Market cap 18Billion) gone up more than 100% since January.

Singapore Stock Market Updates 8 April 2016

Singapore market Open low this morning following the weak closing of the US market, dow jones close 174 point lower last night, but during the day the straits time index index manage to recover more than 20 point losses and close flat at 2808. This was mainly due to the strong recovery of oil price trading in the Asian market, oil was up 3.5%. Blue chip oil stock are among the top gainers today.

Next Thursday April 14. ,Monetary Authority of Singapore will announce its semi-annual monetary policy decision, the Monetary Statement will be release at 8am in the morning, MAS is expected to keep policy steady at next week's review, but a number of economists say a further easing this year remains a distinct possibility in the face of slow growth, low inflation and depressed global demand. Investor can look out for MAS policy to allow Sing dollar to be strengthen, if Sing dollar strengthen, this will benefits the bank stock. If MAS policy is to slowdown Sing dollar strengthen, then the news will be bad for Banks stock.

Singapore bluechip seems to be in a profit taking period after the rally in march. Right now, i am watching the Rubber glove sector. right now there is 2 stock listed in singapore, UG healthcare and Riverstone, over the past few both have fallen due to the Strengthening of Malaysia ringgit which affects all the Glove stock in singapore and malaysia. As Ringgit start weaken this few day, we see Glove stock might have chance to come back again.

Singapore Market Updates 30 March 2016

STI up strongly today by 1.91% close 54 point higher at 2873, this is following the positive us market. The bullish sentiment in singapore is cause by mainly 2 reason, Firstly, the Yellen Speech last night indicate that Fed will have a slow approach on Rate hike policy,Secondly Regional market is mostly up today with HangSeng up 2.15% and Shanghai composite index up 2.77%.

Federal Reserve keep interest rate unchanged, market react positive?
Market already expect rate remain unchanged in march, before fed meeting, most market already moved hence the decision of Fed meeting does not have much impact on the market, however the news that Fed's rate 2 rate hike this year(instead of 4 hike) was really a pleasant surprise to investors. As bluechip stock is now on the high side, the good news did not push the market into a new high, I think market is pretty cautious right now as dow jones is near its 18000 resistance

One of the sector I am looking at is the commodities, we have seen that the gold has been one of the biggest winner in since beginning of 2016, for the past 5 week, it have been falling and yesterday after yellen's speach the price start to move higher. Hence i think the gold etf is one of the  asset to diversify your portfolio. More over, on the Gold chart,  it shows a golden cross. Seems like it is a sign that gold could be going on a bull run... again.

Singapore & Global Market Updates 21 March 2016

US market Near resistance

DJI  -18000-18300, S&P500 2080, Nasdaq 5080-5250

Since 2015, we have not seen Dow jone index break above 18300, this has become a very strong resistance, where trader fear. So most will sell when  DJI is near this level to play safe.

This Friday is holiday for most market, we shall see lower trading volume towards the weekend.

SSE bullish turn around, above 2640 Support level, Hangseng above 18300 Support level, as long as it can stay above the support level, it is good.

Singapore market as mentioned 2 weeks ago, blue chip stock going to take profit as market is currently in an overbought position. In my previous post, I mention that the market has reach a oversold position and hitting a strong support at 2550

Previous post ==>STI Market Updates - Whats next after Big selldown (Febuary 10 2016)

Singapore market usually wont go up in a straight line, we will see profit taking, and some sell down to test the support and confidence level of investor. If support and confidence level is strong, then we are ready to make a higher high for STI

US market get a booster last week after Fed meeting, Fed chairwoman Janet Yellen announced new projections that indicate the number of interest rate hikes would be cut from four to two this year

You should watch China Market now - SSE break resistance last friday, now is at 3 month high - above 2950 is bullish.

A slower pace of US interest rate hikes is an advantage for the sluggish Chinese economy as it slow down the RMB depreciation.

Weaker USD will encourage investor to put money in commodities and properties sector.

one of the Key factor for the recovery of China economy is is Real estate sector, as it accounts for more than 15 percent of the gross domestic product(GDP) which also affects 40 other sectors.

Market View: Will Federal Reserve increase Interest Rate in March?

STI was up 45 points closing at 2727 following the strong closing in US market,  Dow jones index closed 2.11% higher, with oil price hitting 2 month high above $34 as oil producing countries agreed to freeze the oil production.

The regionwide rally in asia was also led by Shanghai index with a 4.26 per cent gain, after the central bank said it has further cut its reserve requirement ratio to Stimulate the slowing down economy. 

This Friday we are watching the non farm payroll, as the non farm pay roll is reflecting the unemployment rate and the status of the US economy. If the Non farm payroll shows a good result, the Federal Reserve may go ahead with the increase in interest rate this month. 

As fed had mentioned that they will increase interest rate 4 times this year, March is likely to be one of them. 

Stock market has crashed after the December rate hike. 

Many investor is betting that Fed will not increase the interest rate in March base on the Job data, as the Market is already Suffering. (Logically.)

 If there is no rate hike, one of the sector that will benefit will be the Reits sector, due to the uncertainty in the stock market investor will go back to yield play if the interest rate hike's fear subside. SuntecReit and FraserCentrepoint Trust, both of them pay more than 5% dividend and their price has recently crossed the long term 200days moving average, this is a indication for me be bullish on the mid to long term trend.

STI Market Updates - Whats next after Big selldown

Market reopen with a big selldown, what is happening?

STI was dragged down by the Tokyo market rout on Tuesday, as well as the global sell-off in bank stocks from Europe to the United States to Japan. Commodity, property and oil and gas stocks led the fall in the Singapore market on its first day of trading after the two-day Chinese New Year holiday. Straits Times Index fell nearly 3 per cent in the first 15 minutes of trading, or 78.1 points to 2545.11. Market recover slightly during the day and closed down 41 point at 2582

Are we in a bear market now? Will there be a Short term rebound soon ?

Yes, in a longer time frame, we can be in a bear market already as STI has dropped more than 25% from the high in 2015. However in a shorter timeframe, we see that STI has stopped making new low after hitting 2530, seems like this is the support level that Shortist covering shorts and bargain hunter start picking up stocks. As long as STI can stay above 2500, i think there is a good chance for the Short term rebound to come.

With the volatile market where can investor part their money now?

The worst-ever start to a year for Chinese shares triggered a trading halt in more than $7 trillion of equities, futures and options, putting the nation’s new market circuit breakers to the test on their first day.

Trading was halted after the Index dropped 7 percent, this is mainly due to 
Weak manufacturing data, end to share-sale ban sparked rout

Following the China Market, the rest of the regional market also extend its losses,
STI close down 47(1.62%)
HangSeng down 587(2.68%)
Nikkei down 582(3.06%)
KLSE down 39(2.31%)

Though market is down, there is nothing to be worried as there is many occasion like this before, what we do here is to get out if our stoploss price is hit. Follow the plan, and look out for strong stock to long, and weak stock to short using CFD. Go with the flow.


With market like this the we are surprise there is still quite a few Strong Stock:
Singapore: SATS, HKland, Venture, Cordlife
Malaysia: Hevea, Inari, Chinwel, Latitud, Liihen, Geshen

Market Updates 28 December 2015

STI up 4 out of 4 trading day last week, break the 10 days high, closed at 2878 last week, also closed above the 20days moving average, this is a good sign as we have not seen STI above the 20ma for a long time. This probably is due to year end window dressing as Fund manager would like to sell away the lacklustre small cap stocks and buy in bluechip as the year is closing.

STI,上周连涨4个交易日， 破10日高点，闭市在2878，也成功的站上20日的均线，这个星期蓝筹股有望看涨。可能基金经理会做橱窗粉饰，把2，3线的股票卖掉，换一下较好的蓝筹股。

银行股连续跌了8个星期，上个星期终于反弹，平均涨了2%，

2 weeks ago mention on 958 that we should monitor banks stock if there is interest rate hike, now it finally move, we can continue to monitor bank stocks as they are most beneficial to the interest rate hike.

Dow at risk of having its first down year since 2008, few days more to end the 2015 and it could be the smallest grow in US stock market since 2008, 2015 form a strong resistance at 18350, for the whole year, the Dow Jones index did not manage to break above 18350 level, this show that the bull run is slowing down and it is not a good sign for 2016

道指自2008年，每年都创新高，眼看就过多天，2015年就要结束了，这可能是自2008年以来最小副的镇长， 道指在18350较强阻力，全年，道琼斯指数没能突破18350水平，这表明，牛市行情正在放缓，对2016年的展望不是一个好兆头
