Market
The calm before the storm? Tonight is the US Fed decision. Which way will the market go?
STI and most indices is in a symmetrical triangle. Having touched the support and resistance each 3 times, it is poised to either break out or break down.
According to traditional technical analysis theory, symmetrical pattern is a continuation pattern. This means that STI is likely to continue its original path.
REITS
Besides bonds, Reits are my next favorite. Reits have been in consolidation mode. Many “gurus” have said Reits are no longer in fashion as interest rates are supposed to increase in the near future. Hence Reits have under performed against other sectors.
After weeks of waiting, finally I see nice report on Reits by DBS. Will this cause more buyers to buy Reits?
Here are the links to the DBS report on Reits:

Singapore Banks
With interest rates rising, our local banks net interest margin will likely increase.
