City Developments ($7.98) has been consolidating within a narrow range, and this may continue for the last week of this year. ADX is flat at 28, and the DIs are neutral. Support has been established at the the confluence of the 100- and 200-day moving averages at $7.69. During the past four weeks, the $8.05 level has provided resistance, and this level has been tested thrice. Quarterly momentum is attempting to break above a resistance and its equilibrium line. Volume remains low. However, a build up in volume would point to a successful break above $8.05 in which event, an upside of $9.76 is indicated. This would be below its last announced book net asset value of $11.66, but above the NAV of $9.65 which excludes the amount needed to recapitalise Sincere Group.
Singapore Airlines ($4.26) is weaker now than at the start of Dec. While quarterly momentum remains on an uptrend, short term stochastics and 21-day RSI are falling. In addition, ADX is also falling, and the DIs - currently neutral- could turn negative temporarily. Support appears at the confluence of the 50- and 200-day moving averages at $4.
The Straits Times Index which closed at 2,842 on Christmas Eve, down 6 points week-on-week, may continue to consolidate through to the end of the year. Short term stochastics appears ambivalent, turning up mid-range. ADX is falling, and the DIs are neutral, an indication that the index is likely to remain rangebound for the next couple of sessions. Quarterly momentum, interestingly, has strengthened. In addition the moving averages are positively placed. Hence the rising 50-day moving average is likely to act as a support line.
