Dreaded October is over

Wall Street ended high on the close of the week given the positive data about the jobs data.

The week has been slightly positive for STI.  It closed higher.  The interest rate cut from the FEDs and sentiment is quite positive. there is a slight concern about the signing of the trade agreement between USA and China since Chile cancelled the APEC hosting venue.

How did the stocks mirrow the STI? Did it end up higher at the end of the week? Any catalyst?

Let's look at Singtel. It ended the week higher depsite of a negative news about the billion dollar  fines in India over Airtel. It could be anticipating the  last quarter results.  Singtel may need to divest some assets to create a boast in the prices.

 Starhub ended lower instead just by a tad. Starhub has been very flat for the couple of months. Like Singel, the quarterly results shall be out in middle of November. I think it shall be challenging given the current environment.

 Keppel ended the week flat. There is a lack of stimulus to push it higher towards the proposed buyin from Temasek at 7.35. It is a concern as there are not many positive news out there for Keppel to push the price higher. I think there is a need of a catalyst to bring it across to 7. It is a mid term investment.

SembCorp is also flat. It seems to collate with Keppel movements.

 SembMarine ended lower for the week.  I can say it is rather flat too.

The market is looking for signs to push it higher. Probably quarterly reports will decide the fate.
