Morning Highlights

The STI gapped up to open at 2668.86. 

Our Focus For Today is on Bank Stocks

There are no Quick Picks for today. But we are keeping a close lookout on the bank stocks. The banks are trading strongly. UOB is reaching its resistance at 17.96; DBS has touched its 1st resistance at 13.50, doing slight retracement now; OCBC opens high but coming off, will have to see how it trades further. As of now, UOB seems to be the most potential of all.

On the other hand, property shares are weak. Within the sector, Capitaland’s movement is very sluggish while City Development is moving in a tight range, and same goes for Hong Kong Land. We believe that the property sector is not likely to perform in the coming weeks until there is a substantial increase in the price range for City Development. Capitaland needs to breakthrough high of 4.46 and Hong Kong Land needs to breakthrough high of 4.83.

The investors are now looking for guidance about the US economy this week from data issued not by the government, but by big retailers in the form of 3Q earnings reports.

The financial markets are still trying to get a sense of whether consumers, while worried about unemployment, are nonetheless willing to spend, especially as the holiday season approaches. Retailers’ earnings reports and outlooks for the future should give them clues about the economic recovery. Investors will also get a first look at on consumer sentiment during November. (AP)

Upcoming IPO is Capitamall Asia Ltd, prospectus lodged to wait for further announcement. More details on upcoming IPOs can be viewed here.
