U.S
The SPX index had its best weekly gain in three-month, as investors seems to grow more optimistic about about a new round of fiscal stimulus, as well as vaccines for the coronavirus. Nasdaq(COMP) index had 4.56% gain in the week, was the best performer in my weekly indexes table below. YTD, COMP has been best performer with 29% return. In Asia, SSE index also recorded 7.3% return, but STI and HSI was the two laggers with -21.4% and -14.4% respectively. However, we see attractive value in STI and HSI, and believe they will catch up eventually.
Stimulus hopes boost sentiment despite conflicting signals. The off and on-again negotiations between Republican and the Dems over coronavirus relief package was in focus.
Trump's seemingly rapid recovery following his Covid-19 diagnosis the previous week also seems boost sentiment. Hopes rise for a vaccine treatment soon.
China/HK
China's stock markets rose on Friday after being closed from Oct 1-8 for the national Golden Week holiday. SSE index was in trading sideways within its three-month consolidation range. While HSI index rebounded for 2nd week, back above its 24,000 level.
Singapore
STI had 2nd week up in a row. Recouped 2500 level which is a bullish sign. Immediate support to watch at 2520 and resistance at 2600.
