The Fed delivered some good news last week as it hinted that they could start slowing down rates even as early in December which saw the US markets SURGED as traders started piling in positions while shortist were forced to cover their short positions. Profit taking could be seen after that as such part of healthy movement . For the week ahead, markets will continue to look for data to support its run and with Fed’s meeting coming up the week after, market will probably remain sideways for the week.
STI
STI retraced very close to the 20ema and then saw a rebound from there. For now, the Straits Times Index is showing resistance at the 3308 area and its about the third time that it’s testing this resistance. We’re expecting to see more downside for the week as STI as it closed below the 5 and 10ema. Once again, first downside we’re looking at is around 3234 area which is the 20ema. DBS closed below its 20ema again and is sitting at the uptrend support line. If that breaks, more downside will come which will bring the index down too.
HSI
We saw the Hang Seng Index pulling back to our target of around 16741 AND China govt called for a press conference urging the elderly to go for their booster. Also, China continues to ease a little with regards to their Covid measure allowing low risk Covid patients to recover from home.
With that, as we saw the market turning up that’s when we alerted all our clients of this change in directions so that they can take the appropriate action! Now that HSI has come to our resistance, a pullback once again is healthy but this time to the 10ema first before we decide on our next move. Hong Kong/ China has been on a aggressive march up and if you’re missing out on this historical recovery then we hope we’re able to help with you it!
As usual, if you need to talk, we’re here, just a message away.
