Market Review:
Singapore shares weaker on today, following Asian peers as nervous investors shifted to safer heavens after a radical bailout plan for Cyprus dented the appetite for risk assets globally.

STI opens with loss of 24.89 points @ 3261.16 and then it made day high @ 3269.33 and fell from that level, took support @ 3252.68 and finally closed @ 3256.47 with loss of 29.58 down by 0.90%.on a volume of 2.8 billion shares. There were 119 gainers against 270 losers by the close of dealings.

Singapore's non-oil domestic exports (NODX) fell 30.6 % year-on-year in February due to a contraction in both electronic and non-electronic exports, after climbing 0.4 % in January.

Market forecast:
STI cant able to sustains above 3300 mark longer and again fell below this @ 3300 and today closed @ 3256.47 levels.

STI formed a candlestick patter called “Falling Window” which reflects a bearish gap and thus serves as an area of resistance. Hence, one should look to sell if an index that gaps down approaches the fallen window, particularly if the rally is accompanied by below average volume.
