China credit bubble and property bubble will likely burst within one year once the tap of liquidity runs out and capital outflows back to us and europe begins. Its good for the readjustment of the economy by directing capital away from overcapacity industries and to new growth industries but the cleansing would not be pretty. This mindless ponzi scheme of chasing after artificial returns with unlimited liquidity under the pretext of support the economy is nonsense as all the credits is being used to speculate in property and wealth mgmt products with no underlying cashflow at the end of project and this feedback loop creates a vicious cycle of increasing expectations and rising property prices way beyond the level of nominal income growth.This credit bubble is intertwined with the property bubble as property is being used as collateral and functions as pseudo banks savings but whos value is manipulated with low volume transactions and widespread hoarding thereby artificially inflating the real values of collateral. The real economy on the other hand is being blackmailed with absurd interest rates of 12-20% and high rents. Their central bank is forced to collaborate in this game before the leadership transition and euro credit crisis in 2011 but had signal it will no longer continue this unsustainable game-obvious historical lesson,   given what japan suffered after its property bust. The stock market already predicted it now with all property and commodities stocks starting to collapse. The question is the extent of the collapse the government is willing to tolerate and the resulting repercussions on individual industries exposed to china. Basically all property stocks and materials ,constructions companies exposed to china will face the brunt of writedowns and highly indebted ones will disappear.

STOCKS NEWS SINGAPORE-Index rises for third day as Fed worry eases

Singapore shares rose for the third consecutive session and were 
headed for their biggest daily rise in more than a week, 
tracking a rebound in global equity markets on easing worries 
about an imminent end to the Federal Reserve's bond buying. 
The benchmark Straits Times Index < .FTSTI> rose 1.4 percent 
to 3,147.28 points. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares 
outside Japan < .MIAPJ0000PUS> gained nearly 2 percent, pulling 
away from an 11-month low hit earlier this week. 
A further drop below 3,000 points would make Singapore 
stocks a good buy, said CIMB in a research note. It upgraded the 
Singapore market to " neutral" from " underweight" as valuations 
have come off with worries about the end of cheap money. 
" In a slower-growth world with less impetus for multiple 
expansion, we look for stocks with earnings growth drivers,"  
CIMB analyst Kenneth Ng said. 
He gave preference to banks over REITs (real estate 
investment trusts), and favoured developers rather than 
commodity plays. 
DBS Group Holdings Ltd  is CIMB's top banking pick 
for its trade finance success and earnings delivery from 
multiple fee income streams. 
CIMB also favours Thai Beverage PCL  as it has the 
best exposure to ASEAN consumers. Other stock picks include UOL 
Group limited  , CapitaLand Ltd  , Global 
Logistic Properties Ltd  and Keppel Corporation Ltd

GLOBAL MARKETS-Asian shares extend gains as Fed, China fears subside 

* MSCI Asia ex-Japan rises 1.8 pct, Nikkei jumps 2 pct 
* Fears of Fed stimulus withdrawal, China crunch ease 
* China money market rates dip further, still elevated 
* Euro falters on ECB remarks 
* Precious metals rebound, oil extends gains 

By Chikako Mogi 
TOKYO, June 27 (Reuters) - Asian shares extended gains for a 
second day on Thursday, buoyed by a rise in global equities on 
expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will not rush to end 
its stimulus programme, and by further signs of improvement in 
China's strained money markets. 
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan 
< .MIAPJ0000PUS> rose 1.8 percent, after climbing 1.9 percent on 
Wednesday to break a four-day losing streak and moving away from 
an 11-month low touched earlier in the week. 
Its relative strength index (RSI) improved but remained 
weak, with investors still nervous after a month-long emerging 
markets slide. 
The market tone improved overnight after a surprisingly 
sharp downward revision to first-quarter U.S. economic growth 
eased fears that the Fed would soon wind down the bond-buying 
scheme that has underpinned investor risk appetite. 
Steadying Chinese markets also helped calm emerging market 
currencies and stocks. 
Chinese money market rates moderated for a fifth day on 
Thursday after last week's spike and stocks recovered some of 
their recent hefty losses as fears of a credit crunch eased. 
Hong Kong shares < .HSI> rose 1.5 percent and Shanghai shares 
< .SSEC> added as much as 1.2 percent before paring gains. 
Japan's Nikkei stock average, which was pulled down on 
Wednesday by losses in Chinese shares, rose 2 percent. [.T] 
Australian shares jumped 1.3 percent < .AXJO> following Wall 
Street's overnight rally even as investors looked for direction 
on economic policy after a surprise change of prime minister. 
Seoul shares extended gains and soared 2.8 percent < .KS11>  
as foreign investors turned net buyers, poised to snap 14 
straight sessions of selling, after prices hit an 11-month low. 
" The market is seeing a technical rebound on bargain 
hunting, but (upward moves) are probably not being established 
as a trend ... the stance on emerging markets is still 
cautious," said Lim Soo-gyoun, a market analyst at Samsung 
Securities, of Seoul shares.

TAKE A LOOK-China's cash squeeze: [ID:nL3N0F10YJ] 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^>  

CHINA ISSUE CONTAINABLE 
With growing confidence in risk assets, Asian credit markets 
rallied, tightening the spread on the iTraxx Asia ex-Japan 
investment-grade index  by 11 basis points. 
The People's Bank of China did not drain any cash from the 
open market on Thursday. While short-term borrowing rates eased 
for a fifth day, they remained elevated, but traders said the 
credit crunch panic that gripped the market last week has 
subsided. [ID:nL3N0F221I] 
Volatility was amplified this week by fears that a crisis in 
China's banking system would undermine growth in the world's 
second-largest economy and offset the benefits of a stronger 
U.S. economy. 
Chinese markets regained some stability after the central 
bank earlier this week moved to quell concerns by saying it had 
provided funds to some institutions and will do so if there is a 
need. 
Yet, it remained commited to cracking down on risky 
informal lending, pointing to tougher conditions for the banking 
sector ahead and likely more bouts of nerves in Asian markets. 
" There is a risk that squeezed credit could lead to 'shadow 
banks' failing, destabilising China's financial system and 
undermining growth, raising downside risks globally - 
particularly for countries with high reliance on the Chinese 
economy," said Takao Hattori, senior investment strategist at 
Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities in Tokyo. 
Fears of shrinking external funding channels, triggered by 
the Fed's plan announced last week to trim down its stimulus 
plan, drove the Indian rupee  to an all-time low of 
60.76 on Wednesday, reinforcing the vulnerability of a country 
with limited reserves and struggling to narrow a record-high 
current account deficit. 

DOLLAR FIRMS 
Worries about China and the prospect of an eventual end to 
the Fed's quantitative easing were likely to support the dollar, 
often seen as a safe haven in times ofmarket turmoil. 
The dollar eased 0.2 percent this session against a basket 
of major currencies < .DXY> after reaching a near one-month high 
of 83.025 on Wednesday. 
It inched up 0.1 percent against the yen to 97.77 
U.S. Treasuries prices ended higher on Wednesday on weaker 
than expected GDP, but a five-year Treasury note auction drew 
its lowest demand since September 2009, showing persistent 
jitters over the Fed's future policy course. 
U.S. crude futures  rose 0.6 percent to $96.06 a 
barrel and Brent  also added 0.6 percent to $102.25. 
[O/R] 
Spot gold  surged 1.5 percent to $1,244 an ounce after 
a 4 percent tumble on Wednesday which brought prices to near 
three-year lows of $1,221.80 an ounce. Gold was seen pressured 
by the dollar's bullish outlook.

Economics
Singapore Industrial Output, May 2013: Heading for a positive 2Q 2013
Ø Industrial production (IP) expanded for the second month in a row in May 2013, albeit at a slower pace of +2.1% YoY (Apr 2013: +5.0% YoY). The positive momentum was sustained by further rise in electronics production (May 2013: +4.2% YoY Apr 2013: +1.5% YoY) and biomedical output growth (May 2013: +22.8% YoY Apr 2013: +41.9% YoY).
Ø IP expansion of 3.6% YoY in Apr–May 2013 augurs well for 2Q 2013 GDP after the economy eked out a +0.2% YoY growth in 1Q 2013 amid the -6.9% contraction in IP during the quarter. Short term outlook for IP remains positive as the purchasing managers index (PMI) for new orders (May 2013: 53.1 Apr 2013: 51.5) and new export orders (May 2013: 52.9 Apr 2013: 50.6) maintain above-50 readings.
Ø We maintained our +2.3% real GDP growth forecast for 2013 (2012: +1.3%).

STI (60 MIN)

One scenario: as long as 3135 is a resistance, we are bearish with a target at 3048.

Alternative scenario: a break above 3135 would open the way to 3191.



DOW JONES (60 MIN)

One scenario: as long as 15020 is not broken up, we favour a down move with 14550 and then 14445 as next targets.

Alternative scenario: a break above 15020 would open the way to 15180.
