Singapore � The STI advanced 2.25% to 2673, Euro Stoxx 50 fell 0.8%, the S&P500 rose
0.2% to 1243. � Significantly the Nasdaq retreated 1% as tech stocks declined on Oracle's sales
and profit miss. US tech sector, which comprises 20% of the S&P500 declined 2% offsetting gains in oil related stocks, and defensives like consumers staples and healthcare. Global weakness and the Eurozone crisis have started to weigh on investment decisions.
� In the Eurozone, there was record participation by banks in the ECB's three year loan and other liquidity backstop programmes, which underscore how much EZ banks have been shut out of short term credit markets. Measures of systemic risk, Libor-OIS, continue to creep up every week. This crisis is not over yet - looking forward, markets will have to contend with rising debt-GDP ratios as countries miss budget deficit targets this year and post GDP contractions for 2H11 (Italy just posted negative 3q11, 4q will be worse).
� We remain bears on the larger trend for the STI and S&P500 unless (1) the Eurozone process for fiscal integration actually addresses its suboptimal growth path, and (2) lead econ indicators globally flip positive.

Hong Kong � Local stock soared as investors’ concerns over the European sovereign debt
crisis were eased. The HSI and HSCEI gained 336.25 points and 210.70 points to18416.45 and 9950.71 respectively. Market volume was 41.324 billion.
� Due to the lending cost of Spain reduced, benchmark index soared at the beginning for about 400 points, and HSI moved between 18300 and 18400 thereafter.
� Technically, HSI recovered 10 SMA (18395) yesterday, as we expect the benchmark index is forming a double bottom and it is highly possible for a short term rebound, meanwhile, investors are suggested to hold derivatives for grasping profit during trading hours. We expect the market may still fluctuate in short term, with the uncertainty in European sovereign debt, it is not a good time to hold equities.
� We peg resistance for the HSI at 18650 and support at 18000

Thailand � Thai stocks rebounded sharply in line with overseas stock markets. The SET
index stayed in positive territory throughout the day before the main index finished the session up 10.46 points at 1,043.75 points on Wed. Trading volume was moderate. Big-cap energy and bank shares led the market’s gains in addition to buying in selective stocks on news. TUF shares rose after it said it plans to make a tender offer for PPC. Shares in SCC also gained after it announced it plans to raise its stake in TPC to 69%.
� Overall sentiment is improving following yesterday’s market rebound and return of foreign buying in both equities and futures markets but key factors surrounding the market remain largely unchanged. Europe’s debt crisis is still a major negative drag on the market. With just a few days before Christmas, we believe trading is likely to be subdued especially in the absence of fresh cues. Thai stocks are therefore expected to trade in a tighter range. The upside target for the SET index is seen around 1051 but the downside would be limited by LTF/RMF buying towards the end of the year. The downside target is seen around 1036 and 1030.
� In our view, selective trading still makes sense for the Thai stock market but investors should gradually sell into strength around resistance.
� Resistance on the main index is seen at 1051 and support at 1036, 1030 today.

Hong Kong Sector Update—PRC Coal Industry Update � Domestic Spot coal prices continues their losing streaks for three consecutive weeks after the implementation of price cap. As at 19th
Dec, thermal Coal with 5800 kCal/kg at QHD priced at RMB 880-890/t. � As at 18th Dec, the inventory at QHD was 7.16mt, which closes to the saturated volume. Although the maximum capacity of QHD is
10mt, it would be difficult for further turnover once the inventory level reaches 8mt. � The NDRC’s price cap not only exerts downward pressure on trading ports’ spot prices but the mine month prices also. � For the first 10 months 2011, production volume of Inner Mongolia, Shanxi and Shaansi recorded 28.21% yoy growth, 19.85% yoy
growth and 14.53% yoy growth respectively. � Downward pressure on near term domestic spot coal prices comes from robust growth of production volume in major coal producing
provinces and high import volume starting from July. � Lowering coal demand from energy intensive industries would cause the inventory at QHD to cluster at relatively high level. � We reiterate our view that China Shenhua <1088 HK> would be would top pick in this sector as it would be benefited by its vertically
integrated business model, economy of scale, possible asset injection and the least impacted by the price cap. Thailand Tourism and Leisure – Sector Update Recommendation: NEUTRAL � Hotel sector net profits surged as much as 706.3% YoY in 9M11. On a normalized basis, hotel sector profits soared 307.7% YoY. � CENTEL delivered the best earnings growth in the sector in 9M11 as its profits skyrocketed 434.5% YoY. � Excluding ex-items, hotel sector profits are projected to grow by 55.2% in 2012. � We maintain a ‘NEUTRAL’ position in the tourism and leisure space. Our top pick is CENTEL with a 2012 price target of Bt12.10/share,
based on its cheap valuation, the lowest in the sector. Big C Supercenter – Trade Flash Recommendation: BUY Previous close: Bt117 Fair value: Bt150 � BIGC said in a filing to the stock exchange yesterday that the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to approve the capital-
raising plan will be postponed to next year. The maturity date of short-term loans due in Jan 2012 that BIGC borrowed to fund the acquisition of shares in CenCar Limited has also been extended for another six months without penalties.
� The delay in capital-raising plan may cause BIGC’s 2012 net profit to fall short of our growth target of 46.7% but the decrease seems insignificant.
� We reiterate a ‘BUY’ rating on BIGC with a pre-XR price target of Bt150/share. Thai Union Frozen Products – Trade Flash Recommendation: BUY Previous close: Bt57.25 Fair value: Bt70.50 � TUF plans to make a tender offer to buy all shares in Pakfood Plc (PPC) after an agreement was reached with major shareholders of
PPC to acquire up to 40% of PPC. The tender offer price will be PPC’s net book value per share as of Dec 31, 2011. The acquisition is expected to cost TUF between Bt900m-Bt1b if it can acquire 100% of PPC.
� PPC’s net book value is estimated to be Bt30/share as of Dec 31, 2011, a significant discount to current market prices of Bt49.75/share. For this reason, we believe PPC’s existing shareholders may not accept the tender offer.
� This acquisition would help expand TUF’s shrimp markets especially in the US. In our view, the deal would be positive for TUF in the long term. We maintain a ‘BUY’ rating on TUF with a price target of Bt70.50/share.

Market News
US � Home sales rose in November, adding to hints of recovery, but updated data showed the housing crash was much deeper than
previously thought. The National Association of Realtors said on Wednesday that sales of previously owned homes increased 4 percent from October to an annual rate of 4.42 million units. At November's sales pace, the 2.58 million unsold homes on the market represented a 7.0 month's supply, the lowest since February 2007 and a sign the backlog of inventory that has been weighing on the market was clearing. The rise in sales and drop in inventory was the latest suggestion the housing sector, which triggered the 2007-09 recession, may be on the cusp of a recovery. Data on Tuesday showed housing starts scaled a 1-1/2 year high in November. (Source: Reuters)
� The number of new home foreclosures jumped by more than 21 percent in the third quarter from the second as banks moved more
aggressively after a pause to review how they deal with troubled borrowers, according to a report released by a bank regulator on Wednesday. In the final months of 2010 some big lenders, including Bank of America Corp and Wells Fargo, suspended foreclosure proceedings as they responded to criticism over shoddy paperwork used to support foreclosures. With those reviews completed, the pace of foreclosures is picking up. The report, by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), said that the large increase in new foreclosures also occurred because banks have "exhausted alternatives to foreclosure for the large inventory of seriously delinquent mortgages working through" the system. With both the economy and the housing market showing some signs of improvement, the number of new foreclosures in the third quarter was 11.8 percent less than a year ago. (Source: Reuters)
� Applications for home mortgages slipped last week, led by a drop in purchase demand as low interest rates were not enough to entice
home buyers, an industry group said on Wednesday. The Mortgage Bankers Association said its seasonally adjusted index of mortgage application activity, which includes both refinancing and home purchase demand, fell 2.6 percent in the week ended Dec 16. The MBA's seasonally adjusted index of refinancing applications dipped 1.6 percent, while the gauge of loan requests for home purchases lost 4.9 percent. (Source: Reuters)
Singapore
� Singapore’s retail rents remained stagnant in the fourth quarter of this year, and prime retail rent is likely to stay flat come 2012, say market watchers. Average gross fixed rent of prime first-storey space in the Orchard/Scotts Road area was unchanged at $40.20 per square foot (psf) per month in Q4, representing a one per cent year-on-year increase, said DTZ. 'With the deteriorating economic outlook, retailers are more cautious about business expansion and are thus more selective in taking up new space,' said Anna Lee, director of DTZ Singapore Retail.

� As the office leasing market starts to weaken, some landlords have begun to offer bigger incentives to clinch tenants. They have
increased agent commissions from one month's rental to between 1.2 months and two months' rent on a typical two or three-year lease. The landlord of a brand new Grade A office development keen to maintain high headline rental levels in the building is said to be prepared to offer a 5-6 month rent-free period for a 2,500 square foot space - from 1-2 months half a year ago, BT understands.

� Taxi companies bidding strongly for certificates of entitlement (COEs) pushed up the small car premium yesterday, leading some motor
distributors to contemplate the link to the recent cab fare increase. 'First, they make life difficult for commuters by raising taxi fares. Now, they are making life difficult for the rest of us by raising the COE premium,' said one sales manager half in jest. Taxi operators compete with motor distributors for Category A COEs (for cars below 1,600cc). In the final COE bidding exercise of the year yesterday, Cat A slipped $2,391 to $50,001. Cat B - for cars above 1,600cc - fell $2,347 to $70,003, while Cat E - the open category which currently tracks Cat B - plunged $3,340 to $71,000. Elsewhere, Cat C - for goods vehicles - fell by $420 to $39,589, while Cat D - for motorcycles - was $421 lower at $1,481. (Source: BT Online)
� Tourists are likely to increase their spending here by an average of 9 per cent to $2,381 over the next two years, according to a survey
by Visa. The global travel intentions survey polled over 10,000 respondents from 23 countries to ask them about their past and future travel plans. Those who are most likely to travel to Singapore come from India where 16 per cent of the respondents stated their intention to visit Singapore in the next two years. This is closely followed by visitors from Malaysia and China where one in ten stated their intention to do the same. (Source: BT Online)
Greater China Region � Substantial outflow of money for two consecutive months from China, RRR may reduce again before or after the new yaer. Data show
that as of late November, the Chinese foreign exchange reached CNY 25.459031 trillion, compared with October decreased CNY 27.9 billion. The central bank data released in October, Chinese foreign exchange reduced CNY 24.9 billion the first monthly recorded negative growth in last four years.

� China's Premier Wen Jiabao said China will stabilise export policy, including on rebates, and provide capital support to small companies.
He also told the nation's banks to clean up lending policies that have left some businesses struggling with excessive borrowing costs as slowing export growth and other pressures eat into profits, state newspapers reported yesterday. Mr Wen made the remarks while visiting Suzhou in China's east, where many manufacturers rely on exports for growth. He warned of tough times, promised more government support for technological upgrades, and also told lenders to offer more financing support to small enterprises. (Source: BT Online)

Indonesia � Investment in the oil and gas sector is projected to grow by USD 3.4 billion next year, to reach USD 18.3 billion, from this year’s target

Of total investment target in 2012, investment in the upstream business is projected to make up the bulk of it, some USD 15.8 billion or 86.3% of the total, while downstream business takes up the remaining USD 2.4 billion, revealed Director General of Oil and Gas at Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry (ESDM).
