CapitaLand - Positive on key developments in East China. Maintain BUY and TP of S$3.73
Our analyst is positive on CapitaLand's key developments in East China after his recent visit to various key developments undertaken by CapitaLand in Shanghai, Hangzhou and Suzhou. With a combined development cost of c.RMB 25bn (CapitaLand's effective stake of c.RMB 11.5bn), we believe that the execution and positioning of the various projects - Raffles City Hangzhou, Raffles City Changning, and Lu One in Shanghai, Suzhou City Mall remain on track and will be key drivers to higher ROE on completion from 2017 onwards. Management strategy is to deepen their focus in key Tier 1 and 2 cities in China through M&As and urban renewal projects to gain access to prime land. Maintain BUY and TP of S$3.73.

Singapore has logged its 12th straight month of negative inflation, marking a stretch of sub-zero readings that has lasted longer than that during the global financial crisis. The last period of negative headline inflation lasted from July to December 2009. October's headline inflation eased to -0.8% from September's -0.6%. October's core inflation, which excludes the costs of accommodation and private road transport, moderated to 0.3%. lower than the previous month's 0.6%. This mostly reflected the impact of lower electricity tariffs and prices of retail items. The largest component of core inflation, food inflation, remained unchanged at 1.8%. For the full year, the government expects core inflation at 0.5% and headline inflation at -0.5%. Next year, it expects core inflation to come in at 0.5 to 1.5%, and overall inflation at between -0.5 and 0.5%.
