On 6/May, Singapore shares continue end lower Friday for the fifth consecutive days after a gigantic wave of panic selling hit US market overnight with European sovereign debt continued to be in focus.
STI ended 18.54 points (0.7%) lower at 2821.11 with identical volume of 2.14 billion shares traded on Thursday. In the broader market, loser outnumbered gainer 473 to 101. Overall the selling pressure does not seem it is going to ease at any time soon though the decline is counting into its fifth day.
"Valuations are becoming attractive again. Secondly, global interest rates may stay low under the current uncertainty and finally, the Asia/U.S. (economic) recovery remains," DBS Vickers said in a note to clients.
Headline in STI
Before market open
DBS Group Holdings Ltd. (D05.SG) said that they gain 23% net profit at S$532 million from S$433 million a year earlier in first-quarter. However this figure is slightly short of the average net profit expectation at S$555.7 million from seven analysts.
United Overseas Bank Ltd. (U11.SG) reported a 71% leap in net profit at S$700 million up from S$409 million a year ago. Main causes of this increase are due to the one-time gain from the divestment of insurance asset and higher non-interest income.
After market close
Sembcorp Marine Ltd. (S51.SG) announced that their first-quarter net profit rose 23.8% at S$148.8 million compared to S$120.2 million a year earlier. This improvement is contributed by higher operating margins of its rig building and offshore and conversion projects.
Important Resistance of Sembcorp: $4.21
Immediate Support of Sembcorp: $3.94
RSI: In bearish zone of 33%.
MY sentiment on Sembcorp: This could be another superb result from Sembcrop although any upside might be limited due to weak market sentiment.
