TRADING opened with a bang yesterday in the wake of Friday's jump in Western markets but as the day wore on, pressure set in, most likely because of Greece's failure to reach an agreement on its latest bailout. This dragged the Straits Times Index (STI) down from its intraday high of 2,959 to 2,940.10, a net gain of 22.15 points. | |
5 Feb 2012 at 2:00pm
IT'S not often that the market lives up to expectations, but last week was one such occasion when liquidity provided ample support for blue chips and penny stocks jumped into play - exactly as forecast in last week's column. | |
3 Feb 2012 at 2:00pm
HIGH liquidity provided ample support for the Straits Times Index (STI) this week as the index gained a net one point over the five days at 2,917.95. But the real story lay in the explosion of interest in penny stocks, most of which cost under 10 cents. | |
2 Feb 2012 at 2:00pm
BETTER-THAN-EXPECTED United States manufacturing data yesterday helped push the Straits Times Index (STI) up some 20 points to an intraday high of 2,925 but a soft opening for Europe brought the index down to 2,901.04 yesterday for a nett loss of 3.72 points. | |
1 Feb 2012 at 2:00pm
PUNTERS continued their frantic churning of penny stocks yesterday, even as momentum in the Straits Times Index (STI) faltered in line with weakness in Hong Kong and China. Turnover excluding foreign currency issues was an eye-popping 3.7 billion units but the dollar value of $1.4 billion and the average value of 38 cents per unit suggested speculative fever was rampant and that traders were simply churning the lowest-priced issues they could find. | |
31 Jan 2012 at 2:00pm
PERHAPS not surprisingly, frenzied punting of second and third-liners was the main feature of trading yesterday as the Straits Times Index (STI), possibly benefiting from a bit of month- ending window-dressing, managed an 18.4-point rebound to 2,906.69. | |
30 Jan 2012 at 2:00pm
THERE was possibly an element of 'buy in anticipation, sell on news' associated with yesterday's session in equity markets in this part of the world. Since prices had already risen sharply last week partly because of hopes that a solution would soon be found to Greek's debt problems, weekend news that a solution might soon be finalised could have provided the trigger for selling yesterday. | |
29 Jan 2012 at 2:00pm
THE headline of last week's column 'Liquidity and momentum to keep equity ball rolling' said it all as prices rose over the intervening five trading days despite the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warning that the world's financial system has entered a 'dangerous phase' and the World Bank sharply downgraded its 2012 economic outlook. | |
26 Jan 2012 at 2:00pm
SENTIMENT swung between the bullish and bearish throughout the session yesterday, even as Hong Kong opened after the Lunar New Year break with a 1.6 per cent jump. Here, the Straits Times Index, after rising sharply on Wednesday when Hong Kong was closed, yesterday traded between 2,876 and 2,917 before ending at 2,894.43 for a net gain of 2.79 points. | |
25 Jan 2012 at 2:00pm
THERE were no surprises in yesterday's trading as liquidity and momentum propelled the Straits Times Index (STI) 42.26 points or 1.5 per cent up to 2,891.64. | |
