x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	UOB Kay Hian (18 Feb) Singapore bourse ? Potential breakout could lead to best rally since Aug 07 Last Monday, we stated that the Footsie Strait Times Index (FTSTI) was at the tail end of a correction and recommended buying on dips, stating that there was scope for a move towards 3130-3170. The index corrected to a low of 2858 and rebounded to close at 3088. So what?s next? We think there is a very high probability that the index could rally even higher towards 3320-3400. We say this for the following reasons: 1) Prior to the Chinese New Year, the index gapped down in what was the largest gap since the September 11. 2001, indicating extreme fear. This has reversed as the index rebounded to close the gap swiftly. In Singapore, the FTSTI closed near the weekly high. Clearly, sentiment has reversed. 2) Last Friday, was the only time since Oct 07 when the FTSTI and the Hang Seng Index (HSI) decoupled from a triple-digit decline in the DOW and closed near weekly highs. This indicates an increase in confidence in domestic fundamentals and should set the stage for further gains. In Singapore, the market reacted favourably to DBS Group?s full-year earning and bank stocks rallied across the board despite the government?s lowering of its GDP estimate for 2008. 3) The FTSTI is seen to be in a large wave C up move that has a high probability of breaking the downtrend resistance line near 3160. If so, the index could easily spike up towards 3320-3400. We see a similar pattern for the highly correlated HSI. Over in the US, the NYSE advance/decline indicator gained 79% from the previous day and the indicator has formed two consecutive higher lows since the bottoming out in mid-January. Conversely, the CBOE options pull/call ratio has risen to a three-week high. This is generally seen as a bullish contrarian indicator as bearish positions outnumber bullish ones. All in all, we think the risk/reward profile favours taking long positions. We recommend that investors add up on financials, including SGX. This sector is likely to outperform. Laggard property stocks could also provide some 20% upside on average, while leading S-Chips could rally 30-50% by end-March.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	From CIMB this morning (18 Feb): Immediate outlook:     The Straits Times Index?s (STI) ended the week at 3,088.68, climbing 157pts or 5.3% week-on-week. Its indicators are beginning to look bullish, especially its RSI. Both the momentum indicators suggest that its earlier rebound from its 2,746 low could continue into this upcoming week. The index could continue on its rise to retest the breakdown level of 3,268. If 3,268 resistance level gives way, the index could rise to 3,325 next. The 2,900 psychological level could provide short term support. Medium-term outlook (2-6 months):     The breakdown from its middle band support of 3,220-3,350 in January is bearish for the medium term. The index fell and tested its major trend line support at 2,768-2,890 before rebounding sharply. It is not out of the woods yet as its weekly indicators have remained negative. Nevertheless, the bullish engulfing candle suggests that it could rebound from here. It needs to overcome the support turned resistance of 3,220-3,350 now before it the long term rally can continue. Until the breakout, the index could continue to consolidate and build a base within the 2,760-3,200 level.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	another reason STI came down is from the influence of HSI ...but HSI staying above 24000 should be alright...
