STI - Lack of pullback at 2750 points to 2840 before pulling back.
O&M - Benefiting from oil price recovery, interest in SCI spilled to Keppel Corp and now, SMM, Ezion and Pacfic Radiance
STI index changes - Noble to be replaced by CapitaLand Commercial Trust
The counter trend rally continued yesterday with the STI ending at 2787. Based on Fibonacci projection, the lack of a pullback off 2750 suggests that the index should extend its gains towards the next near-term resistance at 2840 before pulling back.
Meanwhile, we see room for O&M stocks to gain further ground in the near-term as oil price firms further. Technically, Brent (currently at USD37pbl) has upside potential to USD39pbl at least. SembCorp Industries, our preferred pick for the sector had lead gains. The positive sentiment spilled to Keppel Corp and interest in SembCorp Marine as well as OSVs Ezion and Pacific Radiance has just started to pick up. SembCorp Marine is a 'pure upstream' O&M play, it is a more direct beneficiary oil price increase.
\Attention turns to US February non-farm payrolls tonight. Consensus expects a figure of 195k, an improvement over the previous month's reading of 151k.
