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

How to Trade CFD Indices? Using advance order types to max your profit & min loss!

New to CFD Trading?
Do you wish hedge your position when market turn into a bear market or know how to you use lesser capital to take on opportunity in the market? In this article, let me share with you what is Contract for Difference (CFD) all about.

What is Contract for Difference (CFD)?

Contract for difference (CFD) is a contract between two parties, typically described as "buyer" and "seller".  Stipulating that the seller will pay to the buyer the difference between the current value of an asset and its value at contract time (If the difference is negative, then the buyer pays instead to the seller).

CFDs are financial derivatives that allow traders to take advantage of prices moving up (long positions) or prices moving down (short positions) on underlying financial instruments. 

Margin requirement
As CFD is an Leveraged product hence it operates like a Margin Account. Margin requirement is the minimum capital you have to park in to the account to have an open position. 

Financial charges
You essentially become a borrower by as CFD allow you to trade larger stocks or indices using smaller amount of your fund and borrowed fund. Financial charges are charged on daily, mark to market price when market close

Trading STI index on POEMS. How does it look like?

CFD allowed you to long as well as short the STI index, 
Long is to buy first, sell later at a higher price to make profit.
Short is to Sell first, buy back later at a lower price to make profit. 

STI Bid-Ask Spread is at 3.6 pips. E.g STI bid price is at 2850.6 while ask price is at 2854.2, 


Search for Straits Time Index SGD5 in PhillipCFD or Poems 2.0 you will find the contract.

To calculate the value of contract, every 1 point in STI is valued at SGD5. 

If you buy 1 Contract of Straits Time Index SGD5 at 2850, your contract value is $14250, however margin Requirement in CFD is only 5%, hence = 14250*5%= SGD712.5

if you have a 50point Gain in your profit will be 50xSGD5= SGD250

So, what will be the COST in trading STI using CFD under POEMS?

Here is the counter detail for STI

Important advantage of trading STI is the lower COST.
Financial Charges: 1.5% p.a for long position and 2.5% for short position.

Minimum Margin requirement: 5% 
(lower requirement mean lower stuck in fund, opportunity cost is lower)

Commission Charge: SGD3 per transaction
(Stock market minimum commission charge is at SGD25 and yet you are required large amount of fund to invest )

IMF宣布将人民币纳入SDR货币篮子 明年10月生效

国际货币基金组织(IMF)执董会11月30日批准人民币加入特别提款权(SDR)货币篮子,新的货币篮子将于2016年10月1日正式生效。为确保各方有充足时间进行调整以适应新的变化,新的货币篮子将于2016年10月1日正式生效。SDR的价值将由包括美元、欧元、人民币、日元和英镑在内的篮子内五种货币的加权平均值决定。篮子货币的权重调整为:美元占41.73%,欧元占30.93%,人民币占10.92%,日元占8.33%,英镑占8.09%。

SDR是IMF于1969年创设的一种国际储备资产,用以弥补成员国官方储备不足。会员国发生国际收支逆差时,可用它向基金组织指定的其它会员国换取外汇,以偿付国际收支逆差或偿还基金组织贷款,还可与黄金、自由兑换货币一样充作国际储备。但由于其只是一种记帐单位,不是真正货币,使用时必须先换成其他货币,不能直接用于贸易或非贸易的支付。特别提款权定值是和一揽子货币挂钩,市值不是固定的。IMF成员国可以以特别提款权获得储备篮子中任何一种货币以满足国际收支需求的权利。因为它是国际货币基金组织原有的普通提款权以外的一种补充,所以称为特别提款权(SDR)。

IMF相信中国将会继续渐进地开放资本市场,但IMF认为整个金融市场开放的“顺序”更重要。首先要有一个清晰的货币框架,然后是灵活的汇率制度,此后才能进一步开放资本市场。在Lombard Street Research首席经济学家、研究部主管Diana Choyleva看来,如果人民币被纳入IMF储备货币,这将标志中中国开始全面融入全球金融市场。这和2001年中国加入WTO一样,人民币纳入SDR将让中国打开资本账户,并由市场决定利率和汇率,这将给全球经济带来变革。

对于国际市场上人民币使用的短期影响,IMF亚太部门主管李昌镛(Changyong Rhee)在周一的电话会议上对媒体表示,市场对未来人民币的需求存在两种截然不同的看法,有人认为人民币加入SDR后,受欢迎程度上升,需求会相应上升。但也有认为,加入SDR后,中国资本市场更加开放,会出现资本流出的情况。因此两种方向的影响都存在,“净影响”目前还很难判断。
