U.K. services PMI signals slower growth for sectorFRANKFURT (MarketWatch) -- Activity in Britain's service sector grew at its slowest pace in three months in February, according to a survey of purchasing managers released Monday. The Markit/CIPS services purchasing managers index fell to 53.8 from a reading of 56.0 in January. A reading of mroe than 50 indicates growth in activity. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had forecast a decline to 55.0. " Despite seeing some loss of momentum in February, the service sector continued to grow at a robust pace, adding to signs that a double-dip recession will be avoided," said Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit. " So far this quarter, the sector has notched up its best performance since the spring of 2010, when the economy was rebounding strongly from the recession." |

Maybe [most slightly] tomorrow STI may lose its bullish momentum. Take care for those who long.

Euro-zone Feb. composite PMI falls to 49.3FRANKFURT (MarketWatch) -- The Markit euro-zone composite purchasing managers index fell to 49.3 in February from 50.4 in January, coming in below an earlier, preliminary estimate of 49.7, data showed Monday. A reading of less than 50 indicates a contraction in private-sector business activity. " At this stage, our best estimate is that the region's GDP will have contracted by 0.1% in the first three months of the year. Perhaps more worryingly, the ongoing steep declines signaled by the weak surveys for Italy and Spain suggest that a return to growth for these countries still looks to be a long way off," said Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit. On a national level, Germany's composite PMI rose to a two-month high of 53.2 in February. Italy's PMI dropped to 44.7, while Spain dropped to 42.9 -- both figures are two-month lows. |

We heard of a Bear Trap in a down trend. Have you heard of a Bull Trap in a Uptrend? I had a feeling we may be seeing one now. Nowadays gap up is bigger than gap down from what I can observed.

STI behaviour is resilient, but if you look at the component stocks perofrmance. looks like depending on a few heavyweights to hold up the index. | ||||

The houses will try to push down the prices in order to attract retailers to buy. Otherwise, no income. | ||||

TODAY Online, 5 Mar 2012 SHANGHAI - China's home prices for last month posted the biggest decline in 19 months as the government pledged to maintain curbs on property, according to SouFun Holdings, the nation's biggest real-estate portal. And market watchers expect prices to continue to fall, with no signs of the curbs easing in sight. Home prices dropped 0.3 per cent last month from January, according to SouFun, which began compiling the figures in July 2010 when housing values fell 1.3 per cent. Residential prices slid in 72 of 100 cities tracked by the company last month, 12 more than in January, it said in an e-mailed statement yesterday. Shanghai restated home purchase restrictions that allow only local permanent residents to buy a second home on Tuesday, a week after a newspaper affiliated with state-run Xinhua News Agency said China's financial centre had broadened its definition. Premier Wen Jiabao has maintained that China would not waver on its real estate controls and efforts to bring prices down to a reasonable level. " Home prices will continue to fall in the coming months because it's pretty clear that the central government won't ease the tightening soon," said Mr Zhao Zhenyi, a Shanghai-based property analyst at Yuanta Securities. " Developers will launch more projects as inventories increase." |
