RESEARCH REPORT
Phillip Singapore Monthly – April 2018: That two-legged tail risk
Analyst: Paul Chew
– The US administration slapped tariffs on $50bn worth of Chinese imports, mainly
in machinery and equipment.
– Fed raised interest rates by 25bps to no surprise. Curiously, the inflation forecast
was only raised marginally to 2.1%
– In Singapore, banks will provide support with their earnings with expectation of
significantly better NIMs from YoY rises in both the SIBOR (+38%) and SOR (+55%)
this quarter
– Property sales in Singapore are resilient. Take-up in a recent residential launch by
CDL was strong, at almost 40% over a weekend
TECHNICAL PULSE
Hi-P Ltd – Daily timeframe – Bullish
– The recent rebound higher especially on 10/04/18 succeeded in lifting the RSI
back above the 30 oversold region signals the start of the mean reversion back
into the uptrend.
– With the recent bullish price action, expect price to head back into the uptrend
next to retest the 2.38 resistance area followed by 2.65.
