Daily Morning Note – 28 June 2021

PHILLIP SUMMARY

Futures contracts tied to the major U.S. stock indexes rose Sunday evening after the S&P 500 notched its best week since February, as well as a new record, on Friday.

Futures tied to the S&P 500 rose 0.15% and those linked to the Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 50 points. Nasdaq 100 futures gained 0.15%.

Stocks posted their best week in months on Friday as investors grew more relaxed about inflation, seeing the current price acceleration in the U.S. not as a sustained economic threat, but as a temporary uptick.

The S&P 500 ended Friday at a closing record high of 4,280.70, while the Dow rose 237.02 points and sits less than 2% from its record. While the Nasdaq Composite closed just lower on Friday, it added 2.35% for the week, its best since April 9 and is up 4.45% for the month of June.


BREAKING NEWS

SG News

Sarine Technologies on Sunday announced that its application for a dual listing of its shares on Israel’s Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) has been approved. Trading on TASE will commence on July 5 under the symbol SARN, said the company in an announcement on the Singapore Exchange (SGX). Sarine’s move to list on TASE comes as SGX and TASE recently authorised the dual listing of companies whose primary listing is on either one of the venues. The company previously said that the dual listing would expose the company to a broader investing public – not just in Israel, but also in the US. This is because the time difference between Tel Aviv and the US is only seven hours, versus the 12-13 hour time difference to Singapore.

Keppel Telecommunications & Transportation (Keppel T&T), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Apsilon Ventures, has divested its 20.05 per cent equity interest in ARIP Public Company Limited to Min Intanate for 60.7 million baht (S$2.6 million). In a bourse filing on Friday evening, Keppel said the market value represented by the sale shares as at June 25 stood at 68.2 million baht.

MC Payment on Sunday reported that it received a third statement from controlling shareholder Ching Chiat Kwong on June 26, and refuted a number of claims made by Mr Ching. The company also advised shareholders to take the statement and the company’s comments into consideration before arriving at an “informed decision” at the extraordinary general meeting (EGM) set for June 30. Mr Ching owns 27.1 per cent of MC Payment, and is also the executive chairman and chief executive officer of property developer Oxley Holdings.


US News

Tesla Inc’s aspirations in China were dealt a major blow over the weekend after the government ordered that almost all the cars it’s sold in the nation – more than 285,000 of them – be fixed to address a safety issue. The State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement on Saturday that the action involves 211,256 locally produced Model 3 vehicles and 35,665 imported ones, as well as 38,599 China-made Model Ys. The California-based carmaker only began deliveries of the Model Y sports-utility vehicle in January, so the recall will affect pretty much every driver who bought one.

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has told Boeing Co that its planned 777X is not yet ready for a significant certification step and warned it “realistically” will not certify the airplane until mid- to late 2023. The FAA in a May 13 letter to Boeing seen by Reuters cited a number of issues in rejecting a request by the manufacturer to issue a Type Inspection Authorization (TIA) Readiness.

A “heat dome” over western Canada and the US Pacific northwest sent temperatures soaring to new highs, triggering heat warnings from Oregon to Canada’s Arctic territories on Sunday. More than 40 new temperature highs were recorded in British Columbia over the weekend, including in the ski resort town of Whistler. And the high pressure ridge trapping warm air in the region is expected to continue breaking records throughout the week.

Republican Senate negotiators on an infrastructure deal were optimistic about a US$1.2 trillion bipartisan bill on Sunday after President Joe Biden withdrew his threat to veto the measure unless a separate Democratic spending plan also passes Congress. US Senator Rob Portman said he and his fellow negotiators were “blindsided” by Mr Biden’s comments on Thursday after a rare bipartisan compromise to fix the nation’s roads, bridges and ports.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

This material is provided by Phillip Capital Management (S) Ltd (“PCM”) for general information only and does not constitute a recommendation, an offer to sell, or a solicitation of any offer to invest in any of the exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) or the unit trust (“Products”) mentioned herein.

A copy of the Prospectus and PHS are available from PCM, any of its Participating Dealers (“PDs“) for the ETF, or any of its authorised distributors for the unit trust managed by PCM.  

An ETF is not like a typical unit trust as the units of the ETF (the “Units“) are to be listed and traded like any share on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST”). Listing on the SGX-ST does not guarantee a liquid market for the Units which may be traded at prices above or below its NAV or may be suspended or delisted. Investors may buy or sell the Units on SGX-ST when it is listed. Investors cannot create or redeem Units directly with PCM and have no rights to request PCM to redeem or purchase their Units. Creation and redemption of Units are through PDs if investors are clients of the PDs, who have no obligation to agree to create or redeem Units on behalf of any investor and may impose terms and conditions in connection with such creation or redemption orders. Please refer to the Prospectus of the ETF for more details.  

Investments are subject to investment risks including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. The purchase of a unit in a fund is not the same as placing your money on deposit with a bank or deposit-taking company. There is no guarantee as to the amount of capital invested or return received. The value of the units and the income accruing to the units may fall or rise. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of the future or likely performance of the Products. There can be no assurance that investment objectives will be achieved.  

Where applicable, fund(s) may invest in financial derivatives and/or participate in securities lending and repurchase transactions for the purpose of hedging and/or efficient portfolio management, subject to the relevant regulatory requirements. PCM reserves the discretion to determine if currency exposure should be hedged actively, passively or not at all, in the best interest of the Products.  

The regular dividend distributions, out of either income and/or capital, are not guaranteed and subject to PCM’s discretion. Past payout yields and payments do not represent future payout yields and payments. Such dividend distributions will reduce the available capital for reinvestment and may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Products. Please refer to <www.phillipfunds.com> for more information in relation to the dividend distributions.
