Morning Flash 29 January 2015 Hong Kong/China Market Technical Strategy Indices Gold spot has trended up since Nov14, partly as a result of the EU and U.S. HSI imposition of sanctions against Russia and the backlash from Euro over the HSI Future new Greece cabinet… DJIA Source: Bloomberg, VC Research But spot gold is still trading within a descending channel developed since 2H13. A key resistance stands at USD1,330/ounce, or the ceiling of the channel. Hong Kong Market Review China shares remained weak yesterday, as the SHCOMP closed down 1.4% and the HSCEI retreated 0.41%. But the HSI managed to rebound 48 points, as local property developer shares generally gained. The US Fed is to announce its meeting result on Thursday. Perhaps investors put their bet on the Fed putting off its rate hike schedule. And as such, interest rate sensitive shares generally had a good run yesterday. A checked rally. The SHCOMP retreated two days in a row, as investors concerned about liquidity flowing in the equity market would slow after a number of mainland banks revised down leverage for trust products investing in shares. It is reported that the balance of margin trading debt rose to Rmb773.8bn on the SHCOMP on Tuesday yesterday, climbing to a record for a second day. The CSRC moved to try to rein the running away margin financing in order to prevent the formation of a financial bubble. And it is expected that trading of the SHCOMP will become even choppier as the regulatory body tries to control the pace at the equity market will grow. Anyhow, the investment market is still on the A-shares in the medium term. © 2015 VC Brokerage Limited. All rights reserved.

The Federal Open Market Committee described the expansion as “solid,” an improvement over the “moderate” performance it saw in December. It substituted “strong” for “solid” in its evaluation of job gains after a meeting Wednesday in Washington. While inflation “is anticipated to decline further in the near term,” the FOMC said in a statement, it is likely to rise gradually toward its 2 percent goal “over the medium term” as the impact of low oil prices diminishes. Policy makers also said cheaper energy will help boost consumer buying power. The Fed’s confidence in the outlook for higher inflation and lower unemployment suggests it will stick to plans to raise interest rates this year for the first time since 2006. One caveat: officials will take “international developments” into account when considering an increase, language that contributed to a decline in stocks and Treasury yields. (Bloomberg) $11 Billion Wiped From Greek Banks on Nationalization Threat: The amount that investors gave Greek lenders last year was wiped off in three days of trading amid the threat of greater government control. In a bid to boost balance sheets, the nation’s banks raised more than $11.5 billion in additional share sales in 2014, the most in at least a decade, data compiled by Bloomberg show. That capital was almost wiped out as bank stocks lost about $11.4 billion in market value this week. Shares of Piraeus Bank SA and National Bank of Greece SA plunged the most, becoming fractions of their pre-crisis peaks. In his first week in office, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras stood by pledges to renegotiate the terms of Greece’s bailout and has appointed ministers who said they will cease the sale of some state assets. That sparked a record 44 percent selloff in the FTSE/Athex Banks Index. The nation’s stocks and bonds slumped, even as Tsipras and his finance chief pledged to avoid a standoff with creditors. The benchmark ASE Index has fallen 15 percent in the past three days, and bond yields spiked to levels not seen since 2012. A person familiar with the matter said bank-deposit withdrawals accelerated to record levels in the runup to the Jan. 25 election. The losses took Greek stocks down 48 percent since a high in March, as anti-austerity party Syriza gained ground among voters. (Bloomberg) Japan’s Retail Sales Unexpectedly Slump in Challenge to Abe: Japanese retail sales unexpectedly fell in December, underscoring challenges to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s effort to stoke a recovery in the world’s third-biggest economy. Sales slid 0.3 percent from November for a third straight monthly decline, the trade ministry said Thursday in Tokyo. That compared with the median estimate for a 0.3 percent gain in a Bloomberg News survey. Sales increased 1.7 percent in 2014. A recovery in consumer spending that was hurt by last year’s sales-tax increase is needed to help spur the economy. Talks between business and labor leaders this spring will determine the extent of pay gains that have been too small to offset rising living costs for consumers.

Morning Flash 29 January 2015 Market News Taobao responds to disputed inspection report: China's largest shopping website, Taobao.com, gave an official response to a controversial quality inspection report by the country's commerce regulator on Wednesday. The online store will file a complaint to the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (SAIC) based on accusations of a senior official's improper supervision, according to an announcement on Taobao's Sina Weibo account. "Director Liu Hongliang followed improper procedures and his legal assessment was emotional," Taobao said, "He reached a conclusion that was not objective, bringing a negative effect on Taobao and e-commerce businesses." "We welcome any supervision that is fair but oppose nonfeasance and random or malicious official actions," the post said. The move is the latest salvo between Taobao, the most profitable branch of e-commerce giant Alibaba Group, and the SAIC since the latter published a quality inspection report on Jan. 23 that gave Taobao the lowest rank in terms of certified product rate. The SAIC's sample test showed that only 37.25 percent of surveyed commodities sold on the website were authentic, lower than a 58.7-percent average of major online shopping platforms. Taobao's major rival, JD.com saw its rating at 90 percent. (Xinhua) China to push exports of railway, nuclear power products: China's State Council, the cabinet, on Wednesday announced plans to push exports of advanced railway, nuclear power and building material products. In a notice on gov.cn, the cabinet said government departments and enterprises should facilitate China "going global", by increasing international trade, investment cooperation and pushing for domestic economic restructuring. China's outbound investment reached 102.89 billion U.S. dollars last year, up 14.1 percent from a year earlier, ascending to the world's net capital exporters for the first time. China will support enterprises in steel, textile and building material sectors to develop the industrial chain to export not only China's products, but also its technology and standards. The government will aid enterprises with foreign exchange reserves to finance them "going global" through stocks or bonds issuance. (Xinhua) © 2015 VC Brokerage Limited. All rights reserved.
