VIEWPOINT - Emerging Markets in 2012

In 2011, with the European Monetary crisis at its peak and the United States economic downturn at its lowest, there was speculation, that investment funds from Europe and the United States would move to the emerging markets while funds from emerging markets would remain in the emerging markets.

And among emerging markets, the conventional wisdom that funds would not go to the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries but rather to the VIP (Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines). For us in the Philippines, it would seem that our time has come.... [Read Full Story]

CORRECTION

 

 

 

 

A correction might be underway as seen from the impending bearish divergence of technical indicators. 

The index is currently within the support area but this level is a bit frail.  A stronger support is at 4500.  Resistance is the market’s new high of 4822 points.  The market is slightly overbought at 63.28, 14-d RSI.

Review.A new intra-day record high of 4822.08 was posted during the week but Friday’s retracement due to profit taking brought the index back to 4758.57 points.  Week-on-week, however, the main gauge was still up by 1.68% or 78.68 points from 4,679.89.  Trading activity was brisk.  Total market value turnover jumped by 64% from Php35.24b to Php57.79b, thus, average daily value was Php11.55b.   

Investors are cautiously optimistic since the equities market remained generally sensitive to any downbeat news on global economy.   One of the late week dampeners was the not so favourable development on Greece’s second bailout from international creditors. Major issues to be resolved are said to be Greece’s Fiscal measures for this year and Labor Reforms.

 

Foreign investors slowed down from their relentless buying spree.  Their net  buying balance significantly declined by over 67% from the previous Php5.44b to Php1.77b this week.

 

 Remember:Although monitoring Index wide price action is of some value, the biggest benefits go to those who study individual stocks.
