Morning Highlights
There is NO SECTOR IN FOCUS for today
DJIA shed 55.85 points (0.58%) in opening trades to 9656.43, and ended trading off more than 200 points (with 266 billion traded) in biggest one-day slide since July 2 amid more signs of a slow and bumpy economy’s recovery. There is a resistance at 9917.99.
In response to the heavy losses on Wall Street, STI gapped down and opened at 2620.45. Index has fallen sharply and the overall moving averages are also pointing downwards on the Daily Charts. We advise to stay on the sideline till further notice. We have also cancelled most of the Quick Picks and only see potential in CapitaCommerical and MSCI India for the moment.
Judging at current situation, it will be hard for the market to clear 2700 by year end. If market fails to cross over today’s high of 2620.45, high chance that it is going to test 1st support at 2560.15 and a resistance zone from 2620.45 – 2634.91 shall be formed. In consequent, all the previous support will also turn to resistance.
On the other hand, if market did manage to clear 2620.45, we might see market drifting aimlessly in the coming days. However,, based on the charting till now, the chances of market retreat to 2560.15 is higher.

Setting off Thursday’s session, a report on manufacturing activity restocked fears that a rally of more than six months in the stock market may have overextended the current economic landscape. Notably, some of the most economically sensitive sectors, those that had paced the market to its best quarterly performance since 1998 in the third quarter, were its weakest.
