MARKET OUTLOOK: By Ng Weiwen, Macro Analyst

US equities rallied on the back of constructive comments of a possible compromise between President Obama and the Republican-dominated House on tax positions which might defuse the stalemate on the fiscal budget. This provides comfort to markets in view of partisan tensions post-election.

However, markets might be watching what politicians actually do, rather than solely listening to what the lawmakers are saying. If there are no concrete details of a deal trickling out of the market, it will likely be a dead cat bounce. But once a definite compromise (with concrete details) is reached, we will likely see a bullish reversal.

The S&P 500 and DJIA formed a bullish , closing at the high of the trading session. While the DJIA and Nasdaq-100 Index (NDX) remained below their 200dma, the SPX managed to close -albeit not convincingly- above the 200dma resistance level.

1. For investors who are bullish about the SPX and yet worry about the downside if US is unable to avert the fiscal cliff, we suggest a "put- spread collar" strategy to hedge against downside risks. The put-spread part of the trade entails buying a put (at current SPX levels) and selling another put (with a lower strike price). This will hedge against a sharp decline with the downside capped at the difference between the two strike prices. After hedging your downside, you could still enjoy further upside by selling a call option that is above current SPX levels, though gains will be capped. But please be advised on the risks associated with trading options.

2. In view of higher odds of a near-term bounce in equities over the next few days, investors might want to consider long positions (with tight stops) on phillipCFDs.

3. NDX and Apple (AAPL: Nasdaq) gapped up from oversold levels. Long US Tech 100 Index USD5 CFD and Apple (AAPL: Nasdaq) if the “breakaway ”(to the upside) -formed at yesterday’s close- does not get filled over the next couple of days. In such a scenario, odds of a valid breakout (to the upside) in the short-term are high.

4. We expect the positive sentiment in the US markets overnight to spill over to Asian trading session today. For the STI to climb higher, it will need to clear its 200dma resistance level and close the breakaway gap (to the downside) formed at last Thursday’s close.

MACRO DATA: In the US, the housing market continues to be a bright spot notwithstanding the adverse impact of Hurricane Sandy. Existing home sales surged 2.1% m-m to 4.79mn seas adj ann rate in Oct. Furthermore, the NAHB homebuilder confidence index rose 5pts m-m to 46 pts in Nov - a multi-year high.

In Thailand, GDP moderated from 4.4% in 2Q12 to 3.0% in 3Q as exports slumped owing to sluggish external demand. Looking ahead, we expect domestic demand to remain firm. Looking ahead, in view of the benign inflation as well as the pre-emptive Oct 25bps rate cut, we expect Bank of Thailand to stand pat - with the one-day bond repurchase rate at 2.75%- unless economic activity substantially slows down.

In China, 35 out of 70 major cities saw monthly gain in new apartment prices in Oct, compared to 31 in September. 17 saw monthly price decreases compared to 22 in Sept. On yearly basis, 55 saw price drop over a year ago and 12 saw increases and the numbers held the same from Sept. With strength in the rest of the economic data, the government is likely to maintain its curbs in housing market going forward. The current mild gain in price is exactly what the government wishes to see. Too much tightening will damp a tentative recovery in the Chinese economy.

In Japan, machine tool order fell by 6.7% y-y in Oct, compared to a 2.8% y-y contraction in September. Domestic order fell by 13.2% y-y, after a 12.7% y-y drop in Sept. Foreign order fell by 3.8% y-y, after a 1.9% y-y gain in Sept. The BOJ has so far pledged to buy 39 trillion yen in government debt before 2014, close to the 44 trillion yen of new bonds to be issued this fiscal year. Japan’s debt rose to 983.3 trillion yen at the end of September, the Finance Ministry said on Nov. 9. The opposition Liberal Democratic Party, leading in polls to win an election next month, has called for “unlimited” easing to end deflation and revive an economy that shrank last quarter at the fastest pace since 2011’s earthquake.

Hong Kong KAISA GROUP(1638.HK) Recommendation:Buy Previous close:HKD1.71 Fair value:HKD2.10

 For the first ten months of 2012, Kaisa realized contractual sales of RMB12.8 billion, which increased by 5% year-on-year. According to the Company’s RMB16.5 billion sale goal, Kaisa has completed 78%.  Compared with peers, Kaisa sale accomplishment rate was too low. Since mid-2012, Kaisa sales growth has slowed down substantially. Its properties on sales since H2 below the plan were the direct cause for the slow-down. The Company had 600,000m2 new supply in July-October, which accounted for 40% of the planned 1.5 million m2. We predict Kaisa will step up supply, provide sold-out rate and reach the predicted sale goal in the next two months.  With sale size rise, Kaisa sale distribution is increasingly rational. As shown in the above figure, sales proportion in the five business areas for the first ten months of 2012 was relatively even, the western region, Pearl Delta and Bohai Rim were the largest sale sources, with sales proportion standing at 26%, 22% and 20% respectively.  Commercial properties and tourist properties are two of Kaisa’s five product lines. We believe the two types involve big investment and slow effect, and they can only act as supplement to main business due to their limited overall income and expenditure percentage. We view with caution Kaisa exploration in commercial properties and tourist properties.  The development model of urban renewal has become Kaisa’s unique competitive advantage in exploring tier-1 cities including Shenzhen and it is also a powerful engine for Kaisa business development. According to the corporate development plan, renewal projects in five cities such as Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Dongguan will enter into sales from H2 2012 to H1 2013, with salable area expected to outnumber 280,000 m2. We believe the Company’s urban renewal project has entered the output stage and it is expected to generate sufficient cash flow, which is of significance to improving the Company’s financial status.  By the end of June 2012, Kaisa total loans had amounted to RMB13.2 billion, leveling off with the end of 2011. However, the debt mixture did not undergo change relative to end-last year. The Company net debt-equity ratio was kept at the 73.4% level, slightly higher than the industry average. The Company needs more robust cash flow to improve its debt level and avoid large capital expenditure in slow-turnover projects.  Kaisa share price has taken horizontal price movement since 2011, far behind its peers. The share price did not enjoy the since-Q2 sale recovery. We believe the Company input in several sectors such as housing development, urban renewal, commercial properties and tourist properties dispersed its core advantage of housing development. Additionally, the fairly high debt size was also a major factor hindering the Company valuation rise.

Thailand Bangkok Dusit Medical Services – Company Update Recommendation: ACCUMULATE Previous close: Bt108.50 Fair value: Bt128

 In 9MCY12, profit from core business operations jumped 34.93% y-y to Bt4,473.03mn, thanks to record-high 3QCY12 profit from core business of Bt1,747.66mn.  We revise upwardly net profit to Bt7,728.77mn for CY12 with core earnings estimate of Bt5,934mn and further to Bt6,620mn for CY13 to reflect strong bullish profit growth.  Our CY13 target price is raised to Bt128/share.

Siam City Cement – Company Results Recommendation: TRADING SELL Previous close: Bt412 Fair value: Bt340  SCCC posted a 3QCY12 profit drop of 8% y-y due chiefly to margin contraction.  Margin and revenue expansion would be a key profit driver for SCCC in CY13.  At current levels, SCCC is still trading at a significant premium to its 12-year trailing P/E average. We maintain ‘TRADING SELL’ with a target price of Bt340/share.

Sri Trang Agro-Industry – Company Update Recommendation: ACCUMULATE Previous close: Bt15 Fair value: Bt16.70

 Earnings are likely to remain strong in 4QCY12 thanks to the bottoming out of rubber prices and a q-q rise in sales volume.  Rubber prices appear to have already bottomed out. Global economic improvement could be a key catalyst for a recovery in rubber prices.  Earnings are expected to return to positive growth in CY13.  We upgrade STA shares to ‘ACCUMULATE’ with an upwardly revised target price of Bt16.70/share.

Market News US . Sales of previously owned U.S. homes unexpectedly climbed in October, showing record-low mortgage rates are helping spur the world’s largest economy. Purchases of existing houses increased 2.1 percent to a 4.79 million annual rate, exceeding the median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg, figures from the National Association of Realtors showed today in Washington. Property values rose over the past 12 months by the most in seven years as inventories dropped to the lowest level in almost a decade. Gains in home prices are boosting consumer finances andsentiment, which in turn are underpinning the household spending that accounts for about 70 percent of the economy. Companies such as Lowe’s Cos. (LOW) are among those saying the outlook is improving as the market recovers from its worst slump since the Great Depression and foreclosures are whittled down.

. The U.S. economy looks set to weather the headwinds from Hurricane Sandy and the budget battles in Washington after picking up speed in the third quarter. Gross domestic product probably increased at about a 2.9 percent annual rate in July-September, according to economists from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Barclays Plc. That would be the fastest quarterly growth this year, beating the Commerce Department’s initial estimate of 2 percent. “The economy’s has picked up a bit” as the fundamentals of the private sector “are improving,” said Jan Hatzius, chief economist at Goldman Sachs in New York. He projects third-quarter expansion will be revised up to 2.8 percent, and the fourth quarter may come in at 1.7 percent. (Source: Bloomberg)

Singapore . Singapore is determined to restructure its labour market, raise productivity and tighten the foreign labour tap. The government does not deny that this could mean less investment, job losses and slower growth. The big question is whether these costs will occur at the margins - an accepted policy risk - or undermine Singapore's economic future, as some in the business community warn. Over the weekend, Trade and Industry Minister Lim Hng Kiang acknowledged that Singapore will have to forgo some investments as it transforms its economy to rely less on foreign workers. But he said Singapore remains attractive to investors and has to be more stringent about which investments it accepts. (Source: BT Online)

. Foreign business chambers and companies are chiming in with concerns over the tightening inflow of foreign workers, some of which are specific to firms reporting to headquarters abroad. For most, the challenges lie with higher costs - whether from increased levies, or the higher salaries needed to attract local workers for certain roles. Tim Phillipi, executive director of the Singaporean- German Chamber of Industry and Commerce, points out that German companies, typically already very productive, are likely to find that the changes to the labour framework have little impact on productivity but could add to costs.

Hong Kong . Chinese commodity futures fell broadly again last week as concerns about the European and US economies took a toll on sentiment.

The May soybean contract fell 0.67 percent for the week to close at 4,748 yuan ($760.88) per ton. Soybeans futures fell on news that China, the world's largest buyer of the oilseed, cancelled orders of 600,000 tons of US soybeans, Reuters reported. The China National Grain and Oils Information Center said the deals were cancelled due to a drop in domestic prices that made the imports unprofitable. (Source: peopledaily.com.)

Taking a closer look at PBC numbers though, one can also see that new yuan-denominated loans sank to 505.2 billion yuan during the same month, a 13-month low and a sure sign that the government is still keeping a tight grip on monetary policy.

To reduce investors’ concerns on the upstream oil and gas sector, the government needs to provide full certainty for partnerships contracts with contractors and daily operating of upstream oil and gas activities. KADIN also asked the government to guarantee and protect the contracts already established and signed together. The government should also proved guarantee on daily oil and gas operating activities by providing permits for drilling and others. Thus, the daily operations of contractors would not be hampered.

. A number of economists estimate that the increase in regional minimum wages (UMR) in 2013 will raise inflation by over five percent, higher than the government’s target of 4.9 percent. The increase in labor cost also coincides with the rise in salaries, so it is likely to increase the prices of both food and transportation fee. Minister of Manpower and Transmigration, previously stated that as of November 4, 2012, six provinces has sets the 2013 provincial minimum wage (UMP).

UMP in Jakarta rose 44 percent to IDR 2.216 million compared to 2012.

Net credit to the government and credit to public corporations also increased modestly in September, but on a cumulative basis credit obtained by the public sector was higher than the projected levels.

Unskilled Indonesian workers who speak little English would be used to fill labour shortages in Australia under a trade, investment and economic co-operation agreement negotiated between business groups from the two countries. The plan, which Trade Minister Craig Emerson will discuss at the East Asian Summit in Phnom Penh this week, says short-term migrant workers with limited English skills should be allowed to enter Australia if they are accompanied by a skilled Indonesian supervisor. The approach is modelled on a scheme used in New Zealand to recruit farm workers from the Pacific Islands. The agreement says that labour shortages in parts of Australia are undermining economic growth and Indonesia’s youthful population could provide a “dynamic workforce”. The proposal for a guest worker program is likely to be highly controversial, especially among unions, and illustrates the practical difficulty of establishing the closer economic integration with Asia advocated by the government’s Australia in the Asian Century white paper.

. Property commentator Louis Christopher will shortly release a new measure of housing market strength which will chart how optimistic home sellers are with their asking prices. The vendor asking price index by SQM Research will monitor real estate classifieds websites and chart the confidence levels of home owners by comparing their asking prices over time, regardless of whether homes are selling. “It’s all about measuring where vendors are at with the market,” Mr Christopher told The Australian Financial Review. “It’s going to tell us whether vendors are lifting market prices in response to stronger market conditions or lowering them in response to weaker market conditions.” The figures will be evened out with statistical methods known as stratification and hedonics which will ensure comparison only takes place between similar houses. They will be provided free on his website with the data extending down to individual postcodes. Mr Christopher expects the series to be available before Christmas. (Source: Financial Review)
