We expect fed to maintain its QE ..... while a few of the members have voiced for tapering....but economy recovery is not stable.... unemployment remains high.....inflation remains low..... fed are expected to stick on its bond buying program until september where seasonals effects may balance off the fed tapering..... Tapering may even be good during 4th qtr.... We maintain our STI year end target to 3812-3835.... Huat ah.... |

Watch out Japan can be much bigger problem than Greek. I am cautious optimistic. I start to buy today. But got to be careful about Japanese bond crisis. I read this from my friend's blog http://investorsg.blogspot.sg/ Japanese bond crisis become our new focus. In past 20 years, Japanese Government relied on issuing bond. Total Government debt is around 250% GDP. In the past, interest rate was low which was around 1%. But the total debt amount is huge. Therefore bond interest cost 25% of total Government revenue. The new PM decided to drive interest rate down further by double the amount of their QE progromme to 7 T Yen. Lower interest rate would promote spending and investment. It could reverse deflation into 2% inflation. Small amount of inflation may promote economic grow. Government bond with less than 1 % interest. If inflation would go up to 2%, bond holder's real interest rate will be 1% - 2%= -1%. Investors want to sell their bond immediately. Central bank's 7T bond purchasing can't meet sellers demand. Bond seller drive up both interest rate and currency. ..................... Visit http://investorsg.blogspot.sg/ |

Base view:
As DBS Economics Research's view is that the FED will sit tight on QE,
we take the view that the outcome of Wednesday's press conference will
please markets and STI's correction ended last Thursday in the
short-term at c c.3100. At that level, valuation had fallen to 13.1x
(-0.5 SD) 12-mth forward PE. The immediate support is 3120-3130. STI
should rebound to 3235 (38.2% upward retracement) or even 3280 (50%
upward retracement). Alternate:
What if Ben spooks financial markets on Wednesday that results in
another sell-off in both bond and equity markets? While previous
post-GFC market corrections have stressed the index down to around 12.3x
(-1SD) 12-mth forward PE (2915 based on current forecast) before
bottoming, we do not see the current correction pulling the STI down to
such extreme this time round. At worst, we expect a bottom that is
'moderately lower' below 3100 but comfortably above 2915. This
is because unlike previous corrections that were ignited by the fear of
the Eurozone debt crisis deteriorating into another GFC, the current
one started after Ben Bernanke commented that the FED may lower QE3
support if the US economy can sustain its recovery. Investors were
caught off guard by the FED's comments and stress tested equity markets
on the assumption that QE3 will be removed sooner and interest rate
starts to rise earlier. |

Dont Fear the Taper Quantitative easing (QE) programs, courtesy of the Federal Reserve, have pushed cash into Primary Dealer accounts at the fastest rate in history. This has been massively bullish for equities over the past four years, as the Primary Dealers used some of that cash to bid up equity prices. This will likely continue until the Fed significantly curtails or discontinues its QE operations.
US stock indices have been marking time during the past four weeks gauging “talk” about whether Chairman Ben Bernanke will slow down his printing presses. Notwithstanding the rumors, we doubt that QE tapering is on the horizon. In our view, unless the Fed stops funneling money to the Primary Dealers, which we deem doubtful, pullbacks in stock prices are likely temporary pauses along an upward path. Therefore, in both of our Virtual Portfolios (Value and Put Selling), we are remaining long and unhedged. 
The Fed is Unlikely to Taper America’s national debt now runs approximately $16.5 trillion. President Obama use his power to hold rates down because the cost of higher debt service would devastate his political agenda. Bernanke does Washington’s bidding so he is probably just ‘talking down’ market enthusiasm by leaking news of a coming ‘taper.’ In this fashion, he uses fear of reduced QE to contain equity prices without actually changing the Fed’s policy. During the fiscal cliff debate in December 2012, people assumed tax rates would be much higher in following years. That precipitated an enormous amount of accelerated income and dividend payments that would have been made in 2013. Because of the higher income booked in Q4 2012, estimated tax payments due January 15, 2013, soared. This reduced the size of the expected Q1 deficit. Bernanke’s primary mission is to monetize the debt created by federal budgets that far exceed revenues. We see no way for the Fed to reverse course on QE regardless of the whispers to the contrary. The Fed has painted itself into a corner and there is no way to unwind the QE trade without debt service costs eating everyone alive. Unwinding would cause interest rates on U.S. sovereign debt to soar, because no one would buy debt at interest rates the government could manage. For every one percent rise in interest rates, there would be an estimated $80Bn in increased annual debt service costs at the federal level. The payment of interest would overwhelm all other spending. In love with Tina explains why stocks are attractive. There are no viable competing investments if you seek to protect your life saving’s long-term buying power. Absent a major change in policy, a full allocation to equities seems reasonable, as does avoiding fixed income. Bonds today are in a bubble, and a pop of the fixed income bubble is apt to be louder and more astonishing than anything we will see in the equity markets. |

Bro,guess you have to hear it from the horse mouth over 18-20 Jun 13 on the Fed's commitment to interest rate. But interesting the International Monetary Fund had cut its forecast for US economic growth in 2014 from 3% to 2.7%. It also warned that tapering of the Fed stimulus may be risky if not handled properly.It is a kind of hint to Fed to stay on to the QE longer.

Asean witnessed US$1,425m of foreign outflows from the equity markets, the highest weekly outflow since September 2011. Since the beginning of QE taper fears, Indonesia has witnessed foreign outflows of US$1,783m, wiping out YTD inflows (to May 22, 2013) of US $1,761m. Thailand has witnessed net foreign outflows of US$1,646m since QE tapering fears, bringing its YTD foreign outflows to US$1,792m. Philippines witnessed net foreign outflows of US$109m only, while YTD it still has strong inflows of US$1,492m. | ||||

As macro recovery remains modest, we pick stocks where earnings growth is highly visible and sustainable: Ezion (TP S$3.00) will continue to outperform on secured contracts and its unique market positioning Tat Hong (TP: S$1.80) is positioned to benefit from the regional infrastructure boom Del Monte (TP: S$0.97) is a proxy to Philippines, SEA’s 2nd largest consumer market. Kreuz (TP: S$0.78) is our top pick in the O& G services sector for its proven execution track record while Midas (TP: S$0.60) is poised for earnings recovery backed by its growing order book. For value, Vard (TP: S$1.46) is a bargain at 6.3x FY14PE vs normalized 10x PE. We believe the Myanmar theme will continue as reforms continue to attract FDIs. Results of telecom license and Yangon Airport development contracts are imminent events. Picks are Yoma (TP:
