Week Ahead

  Thoughts on Week Ahead: Week 18 March 2024 The latest US CPI and PPI reports have surpassed expectations , reigniting concerns about inflation. The US Federal Reserve is anticipated to prolong its pause on interest rate hikes until inflationary pressures ease. We anticipate that banks will benefit from the recent CPI report s, while REITs may encounter selling pressure from investors. Although investors widely anticipate the US Federal Reserve to maintain current interest rates during next week’s FOMC meeting, the Chairman's speech will be pivotal to investors on the committee’s policy outlook. The S&P 500 is approaching its trendline support, while the China A50 index nears its trendline resistance . We are closely monitoring both indices for any significant directional moves. Meanwhile, the STI remains within a gradual downward channel, exhibiting oscillatory behavior." Similar to last week, we maintain a cautious stance on the markets this week as earnings season dr

  Thoughts on Week Ahead: Week 11 March 2024 While the overall trend is still upward, we're adopting a more cautious stance towards the stock market, especially as the S&P 500 approaches our short-term target resistance of 5,200 and has finished the day down. Additionally, significant sell-offs were seen in key stock Nvidia Corp (NVDA) and the prominent sector Phil Semicon Index (SOX).

Week Ahead: Trading at All Time High

  Thoughts on Week Ahead: Week 4 March 2024 Much like Taylor Swift's lyrics, "I shake it off, I shake it off," the US markets shrugged off concerns regarding high interest rates and recession. And instead, persist in an upward trajectory, at new all-time highs. From a technical standpoint, the S&P 500 maintains its upward trend, facing potential resistance at 5,200 with support at 5,000 level. In contrast, the Singapore market treads cautiously, residing within a gradual downward channel. Meanwhile, the China A50 Index holds firm above the 11,200 support level, shows promise in challenging its downtrend line resistance in the near future. We favour long trades in the US market, exercising caution and selectivity in the Singapore and China Hong Kong markets for the week ahead. Headlines for the week: - Corp Earnings (Target, Costco, Adobe) - US FED officials speak, NFP report, ISM Servies PMI, JOT Job Openings  - China Annual Two Sessions Meeting - SG Feb PMI, Retail
