Does HSI Rebound Have Any Legs?
Macquarie is pleased to list the following new HSI July warrants this morning
| Code | Name | Type | Expiry | Exercise Price |
| QG2W | HSI18600MBeCW120730 | Call | 30-Jul-12 | 18600 |
| QG3W | HSI19600MBeCW120730 | Call | 30-Jul-12 | 19600 |
| QG4W | HSI18200MBePW120730 | Put | 30-Jul-12 | 18200 |

The HSI has seen sharp sell offs lately. Despite the rebound yesterday, the index is still 9.7% below its April levels, its worst performing month since September last year. US overnight sentiments did not help much either, as the indices were flat after a final hour tumble.
Greece Uncertainty Here to Stay?*
According to Macquarie Equities Research (MER), it was estimated that world equity markets lost US$4 trillion in the last few weeks, primarily the result of renewed uncertainty about Greece. Unfortunately, the uncertainty is not going away anytime soon and the next date to watch is June 17th when Greece will try again to elect a new leader and form a new government. The latest development shows how fragile the Euro block appears and how politics increasingly impacts economies and equity markets. For economic data, the US continues to report decent numbers in areas such as employment and property while Europe continues to be mired in a set of mixed economic conditions.
With the external environment looking increasingly challenging, China is having some issues of its own domestically and the media reported last week that new loans so far in May from the big 4 banks have been minimal and forex deposits are dropping precipitously. The Government's latest RMB36.3bn energy-saving product purchase stimulus program, announced last week, is just another step China has taken to engineer a soft landing, in MER’s view.
With Greece and the Euro block overhang lingering, MER thinks equity markets will continue to struggle in the coming few weeks although a short term rebound is possible from the deeply oversold conditions.

Overnight Market Wrap
Markets Flat despite Strong Home Sales
The S&P500 rose only 0.1% yesterday despite a stronger than expected existing home sales. The National Association of Realtors said that April sales rose 3.4% to an annual rate of 4.62mn. However, stocks and Euro fell after former Greek Prime Minister Papademos said that the country is considering preparations to leave the eurozone.
Facebook shares slipped another 8.9% to $31, which is 18.4% below its IPO price of $38. Some analysts are putting the blame on its head underwriter, Morgan Stanley, for its aggressive last-minute share sale increase and the high IPO price.
