SGX Market forecast: 2018 Closing



For 2018, the benchmark record stays ready to head higher. DBS Group Research, for instance, has an objective of 3,688 for end-2018, yet does "not preclude a re-rating impetus pushing up STI's objective valuation to 3,800". That would give the STI an upside of between 7 to 11 percent from Friday's (Dec 15) shutting level of 3,416.94.

Any semblance of managing an account heavyweights, designers and property trusts will keep on driving the charge one year from now for Singapore's securities exchange, which could see increases of as much as 11 percent, as per showcase examiners. Year to date, the Straits Times Index (STI) has rounded up good looking additions of around 20 percent – a superior than-anticipated execution that has breezed past examiner gauges, because of an outperformance in property and bank stocks in the midst of a monetary recuperation.

Aside from a proceeded with recuperation in corporate income, examiners noticed that a steady cash inclining toward the upside in the midst of desires for money related strategy fixing will be an "additional fixing" for neighborhood values to beat. Nearby engineers, which have been among the most brilliant spot in Singapore values this year, remain experts' top choices.
Maybank Kim Eng investigator Neel Sinha noted "dynamically enhancing" essentials in the residential property advertise, with the facilitating of property cooling measures in March as a factor. At that point, the Government, in a sudden move, loosened up some private property estimates identifying with the merchant's stamp obligation and also the aggregate obligation adjusting proportion structure. Then, the restoration of the en alliance showcase has put more life into the business sectors, helping engineers, for example, blue chip UOL Group and City Developments to flood 39 and 47 percent, individually, since the beginning of the year.
These impetuses are probably going to proceed into 2018, proposing that the market rally still has legs to go all the way.

‎Singaporesharesend‬ higher as ‪#‎STI‬ gains 1.5% in line with Wall St, DBS's results








Wall Street's jump to a new all-time high on Friday and DBS's better-than-expected second quarter profit helped propel the Straits Times Index up 42.61 points or 1.5 per cent to 2,870.78, albeit in mediocre, pre-holiday volume of 938 million units worth S$1.03 billion.

Singtel led the way with a S$0.13 surge to S$4.20 on volume of 29 million, a rise that added 12 points to the index. Gains in the three banks added another 15 points while the Jardine group's contribution via rises in Hongkong Land and Jardine Cycle & Carriage was about five points. Excluding warrants, the broad market's advance-decline score was a much more mixed 226-186 than the index's rise would indicate.

Before trading opened at 9am DBS released its latest figures - a 6 per cent drop in net profit for the quarter ended June 30 to S$1.05 billion largely because of a one-off provision of S$150 million because of the bankruptcy of offshore and marine (O&M) company Swiber Holdings.

"Asset quality continued to be sound. While the non-performing rate rose to 1.1 per cent, allowance coverage was comfortable at 113 per cent and at 226 per cent if collateral was considered," said DBS. "Excluding the allowances for Swiber, total allowances were 58 per cent higher than a year ago and 27 per cent higher than the previous quarter."

SINGAPORE I-FOREX UPDATE BY EPIC RESEARCH




EUR/USD is currently trading with a bullish bias. Yesterday, the pair traded perfectly long as

previously forecasted but is yet to reach our set target resistance level at 1.1239. The daily

candle is still pretty much bullish and will likely push the price further to the upper side.

Thus, during this intraday, we expect a possible bullish price rally towards 1.1239 or even

higher to 1.1264. This pair should be traded alongside EUR/JPY, AUD/USD, NZD/USD and

GBP/USD. These pairs have a strong positive correlation of up to +0.96 and will have a similar

price action during this intraday.




The pound slipped lower against the U.S. dollar on Wednesday, after data showed that

U.K. service sector activity contracted for the first time in more than three years and as investors

eyed the Bank of England’s policy meeting on Thursday.GBP/USD hit 1.3287 during

European morning trade, the session low; the pair subsequently consolidated at 1.3334,

edging down 0.17%.Cable was likely to find support at 1.3169, the low of August 2 and resistance

at 1.3480, the high of July 15.Research group Markit said its U.K. services purchasing

managers’ index dropped to 47.4 last month from a reading of 52.3 in June. It was

the lowest level since December 2012.The weak data added to expectations for a rate cut



by the BoE at its policy meeting on Thursday.

About 1.25 billion shares worth S$878 million in total changed hands, which worked out to an average unit price of S$0.70 per share.

Epic Research Singapore : U.S Market Update

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services on Tuesday lowered Ukraine's long-term foreign currency sovereign rating to CCC+ from B- and its short-term rating to C from B. "The downgrade reflects our view that the significant escalation of the political turmoil in Ukraine makes the expected financial support package from Russia less certain should the government of President Yanukovych fall," said S&P in a statement. Ratings in the CCC category are generally viewed as poor quality with likelihood of default. The outlook on the ratings is negative.
