Asia: Stocks cautious but oil price holds above US$50

Asia stocks markets moved cautiously in early trade on Friday despite a positive lead from Wall Street and further overnight gains in the price of oil.

US and European markets ticked up overnight, supported by a dovish outlook for US interest rates and some healthy post-Brexit data in Britain.

The oil price has also continued its upward trend, with Brent crude holding above US$50 a barrel on official data showing lower US crude stockpiles and hints of a possible production freeze.

But traders treaded carefully Friday morning, with Asian markets moving in and out of positive territory.Click Here To Register For Free Trial Services OR Give A Missed Call : +6531581402 Follow Us On Twitter : www.twitter.com/epicresearchsg Like Us On Facebook : www.facebook.com/EpicResearchSingapore Need Any Assistance Feel Free To Mail Us at : info@epicresearch.sg

Ex-BSI Asia CEO Brunner settles Singapore bonus suit with bank

Hanspeter Brunner, BSI SA's former Asia chief who was referred to Swiss and Singapore regulators over the bank's ties with a Malaysian state firm, has settled a lawsuit seeking deferred payments, according to the bank's lawyer.

Mr Brunner's lawsuit alleged that BSI's Singapore unit breached bonus agreements and a separation pact without any legal basis. Mr Brunner, 64, was among six BSI bankers referred by Singapore's central bank to prosecutors over lapses in dealing with 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).

He's also one of two former BSI executives the Swiss financial regulator has started proceedings against. Mr Brunner's retirement was announced in March.

"Hanspeter Brunner has withdrawn his claim against the bank in its entirety," Muralli Rajaram, a Singapore-based lawyer for BSI, said Thursday by phone, confirming the settlement.Click Here To Register For Free Trial Services OR Give A Missed Call : +6531581402 Follow Us On Twitter : www.twitter.com/epicresearchsg Like Us On Facebook : www.facebook.com/EpicResearchSingapore Need Any Assistance Feel Free To Mail Us at : info@epicresearch.sg

China home prices rise 7.9% year on year in July

39115331 - 18_07_2016 - CHINA-ECONOMY_HOMEPRICES.jpgAverage new home prices in China's 70 major cities rose 7.9 per cent in July from a year earlier, an official survey showed on Thursday.

That compared with a 7.3 per cent increase in June.

Home prices in Shenzhen and Xiamen had the biggest surge, rising 40.9 per cent and 39.2 per cent, respectively, from a year ago.

The booming property market has been a key driver of China's economic growth in the first half of the year as weak demand at home and abroad continue to take a toll on trade and investment.

But concerns are growing that the property rebound may be coming to an end as local governments tighten restrictions on home purchases to cool sharp price rises, which are sparking fears of asset bubbles.Click Here To Register For Free Trial Services OR Give A Missed Call : +6531581402 Follow Us On Twitter : www.twitter.com/epicresearchsg Like Us On Facebook : www.facebook.com/EpicResearchSingapore Need Any Assistance Feel Free To Mail Us at : info@epicresearch.sg

AirAsia Market News Update : Epic Research Singapore

Indonesia sent divers into the water on Sunday to examine wreckage from AirAsia Flight 8501, but operations slowed overall, with the weather allowing divers to enter the water only briefly.

A week after the Airbus A320 crashed into the Java Sea with 162 people aboard, Indonesia’s search-and-rescue agency said Sunday that sonar imaging revealed a fifth large object in a search area off the southwest coast of Borneo, measuring nearly 10 meters (about 32 feet) in length. The agency said Saturday that it had found four main parts of the jetliner, with the largest measuring about 18 meters, on the seafloor. Divers haven’t made contact with that wreckage.

A total of 34 bodies had been recovered as of Sunday evening, and all had been sent to Surabaya, a port city on Java island where the flight originated, Soelistyo told reporters in Jakarta. But operations slowed overall on Sunday, with the weather allowing divers to enter the water only briefly.
