Market Review:
STI tumble today as it opens gap down and made its 1 month
low. Amid concerns over the political
uncertainty in Italy, and the lack of progress in Washington to avoid spending
cuts due to take effect on Friday.
Singapore share prices opened gap down @
3269.31 and then it made a high of 3277.12 after that STI fell down and made is
1 moth low @ 3250.87 and finally closed with loss of 34.50 points down by 1.05%
@ 3254.26.
Volume was 6.9 billion shares. Losers led gainers 373 to 127.
Singapore's Industrial Production numbers came in below
expectations for January mostly dragged down by a sharp contraction in the
biomedical sector. Forecast 4 % expansion from a year ago, but manufacturing
output instead contracted 0.4 % on-year.
For the STI, as we mentioned two weeks ago that it has
broken the uptrend line formed since November 2012.Although it tried to climb above
rising trend line on in mid February after Chinese new year. It promptly moved below
the rising trend line. It seems to be consolidating around 3,250-3,320.
Now for coming days 3250 will act as a major support
zone because if STI break this level then it will be more bearish and can touch
3220-3190 levels soon.
