STI - Technical support at 3015-3040 presents a buying opportunity
The positive outlook for 2014 will be tempered by QE tapering talks, which is likely to be a long-drawn-out event. Risk appetite will stay modest with no re-rating for Asia markets in sight. However, below-historical-average valuations should support markets and stock picking opportunities should be available throughout the year. We expect Asia markets to return 16% in 2014. Overall, our regional strategist thinks that North Asia markets will likely outperform in 1Q14 while Singapore market maintains at Neutral.
For the STI, the technical support at 3015-3040 presents a buying opportunity. This support level, which was briefly tested yesterday, is just below the -0.5 SD FY14F level of 3043. The -0.5SD level was only breached once last year in June, also on the uncertainty over QE3 tapering.
