Daily Summary 17 Oct 13

Europe were mixed last night. Dow gained 205 pts to close at 15374.  Dow's trend is up. Dow's future is now -107. Europe opened down.

Asian bourses were mixed after an early rally.  Nikkei +119, ShanghaiC -5, Hangseng -133. STI closed +13 at 3187.  Volume was 2.b shares.  Gainers were 291 to 193 losers.

Trend of STI is flat.

Top volumes were YHM +0.3, SingHaiyi -0.1, AdvSct -0.1, Innopac -0.3, HanKore +0.2, Sunmoon -0.1m, Jubilee -2.1, Albedo -0.2, Chasen +1.8, AsiaPhos -2.

Market opened up and tried to rally in the morning. It lost steam in late afternoon when Hangseng fell with a weak opening in Europe.  It closed at day low but still +13.  Blue chips were mostly up but penny and speculatives were mixed.

Though there was some agreement on the debt ceiling and Obama had signed the papers, there is still Congress to pass the deal. There are some negativities at the moment as if Congress could still vote it down which would be disastrous.

Europe opened negative while Dow's future is looking quite weak.
