- Tuesday, June 18, 9:44 AM A nasty bout of late-session selling sends Thai shares (THD -3.4%) plunging nearly 3%, bucking a generally positive regional trend. Philippine stocks (EPHE +2.3%) rise 2.83% in Manila while shares in Indonesia (IDX +1%) and Singapore (EWS +0.9%) post solid gains. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, June 17, 9:26 AM Philippine (EPHE) and Thai (THD) stocks add 1.56% and 0.4% respectively to Friday's gains in thin trading. Across the region : Malaysian (EWM) and Indonesian (EIDO, IDX) shares rise 0.57% and 0.3%, while the Straits Times (EWS, EWSS) tacks on 0.7%. Vietnamese equities (VNM) sell-off to the tune of 2%. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Friday, June 14, 8:30 AM Markets in Southeast Asia cap off a week of wild swings (I, II, III) with gains as stocks in the Philippines (EPHE), Indonesia (EIDO, IDX), and Thailand (THD) jump 2.1%, 3.32%, and 4.42% respectively. Of course, Philippine Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima wasn't losing any sleep anyway: "I am not concerned because Philippine economic fundamentals are good and improving," he says, adding that "markets go up and down." Elsewhere, the Straits Times (EWS, EWSS) rises 1% and stocks in Vietnam (VNM) are in the red by 1.18%. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, June 13, 8:46 AM And you thought Japan was bad. Philippine shares (EPHE -3.36% premarket) plunge nearly 7% in Manila to their lowest levels since January. The PSEi is now off a ghastly 17.4% since May 15. Elsewhere, Thai shares (THD) drop another 2%, bringing losses since Monday to 7.7%. The rest of the region fares little better with Malaysian (EWM), Indonesian (EIDO, IDX), and Vietnamese (VNM) shares down 1.82%, 1.92%, and 0.61% respectively. The Straits Times (EWS, EWSS) sheds 0.72%. For the bright side, we go to SET president Charamporn Jotikasthira: Forward P/E multiples are very "attractive." 1 Comment [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Wednesday, June 12, 9:08 AM Thai shares (THD) fall 1.3% on the heels of Tuesday's brutal sell-off as regional markets limp through another lackluster session. Malaysian (EWM) and Vietnamese (VNM) shares slip 0.25% and 0.71% respectively and the Straits Times (EWS, EWSS) slides 0.53%. The lone bright spot was Indonesia, where stocks (EIDO, IDX) rebound 1.91%. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, June 11, 8:29 AM It's a bad day for markets in Southeast Asia. In Bangkok, Thai shares (THD -5.73% premarket) collapse nearly 5% amid $178.57M in selling by foreign investors, while Philippine equities (EPHE -3.77% premarket) plummet 4.64% in Manila. Foreign selling totaling some $400M hits Indonesian stocks (EIDO, IDX -2.1% premarket) which sink 3.5% in Jakarta, making for a horrendous two-day slide. Malaysia (EWM) was steady and the 0.94% loss witnessed in Singapore (EWS, EWSS) seems comparatively tame. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
- Monday, June 10, 8:30 AM Concerns about higher fuel costs may have contributed to net foreign outflows of $183.6M from Indonesian stocks (IDX, EIDO -3% premarket) Friday. The news sends shares down 1.81% in Jakarta. Meanwhile, bargain hunters helped boost beaten-down Philippine stocks (EPHE) by 2.59% in Manila. Across the region: Thai (THD) and Malaysian (EWM) equities rise 0.8% and 0.7% respectively, stocks in Singapore (EWS) add 0.5%, recovering a bit from Friday's swoon, and Vietnamese shares (VNM) slip 0.65%. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Friday, June 7, 8:30 AM Indonesian shares (IDX) take a hit, falling 2.7% in Jakarta even as markets rise across the region. In Manila, Philippine (EPHE) stocks jump 1.4% cutting their losses to a still abysmal 4.6% on the week, while Thai equities (THD) tack on 1.75% and stocks in Vietnam (VNM) and Malaysia (EWM) rise 1.36% and 0.34% respectively. The Straits Times (EWS) is off fractionally on top of Thursday's sell-off. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, June 6, 8:55 AM "Bargain hunters" surface in Manila helping Philippine stocks (EPHE) rise 0.8% after a string of sell-offs. Philippine Stock Exchange President Hans Sicat calls the post-Bernanke speech malaise an "extreme overreaction." Vietnamese shares (VNM) also rally, adding 1.22%. Meanwhile, Thai equities (THD) and the Straits Times (EWS) tumble 2.13% and 1.54% respectively to multi-month lows. Indonesian markets were closed. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, June 5, 8:51 AM Another day, another sell-off (I, II) in the Philippines, as stocks (EPHE) fall 1.73% in Manila to their lowest levels since late March. Selling pressure predominates across the region as markets in Thailand (THD) and Singapore (EWS) are hit hard, down 2.12% and 1.46% respectively (that's a three-month low for the Straits Times). Things weren't quite as bad in Malaysia (EWM) as equities shed just 0.13% and Indonesian shares (IDX) fall fractionally in Jakarta. Meanwhile, stocks rise 0.77% in Vietnam (VNM). Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, June 3, 9:06 AM Philippine equities (EPHE) see their second decline of nearly 4% in just three sessions (previous) as stocks sell-off 3.68% in Manila. Selling pressure dominates across the region Monday, sending markets in Singapore (EWS), Thailand (THD), and Indonesia (IDX), tumbling 0.61%, 1.46%, and 1.92% respectively. Shares in Vietnam (VNM) and Malaysia (EWM) trade fractionally lower. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, May 30, 9:54 AM Philippine stocks (EPHE -3.3%) tumbled nearly 4% in Manila Thursday amid a regional sell-off. Thai (THD -0.6%), Malaysian (EWM -0.1%), and Indonesian (IDX -1%) shares shed 1.27%, 0.48%, and 1.37% respectively, while equities lost 0.93% in Singapore (EWS -0.1%). The lone bright spot was Vietnam, where stocks (VNM +0.7%) rose 1.23%. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, May 29, 9:26 AM Amid a strong baht and slowing economic growth, Thailand slashes its one-day bond repurchase rate by 25 basis points to 2.5%, marking the first rate cut this year. The cut was "too little, too slow" for the country's finance minister (previous) — analysts say the quarter percentage point move leaves the door open for further action. Thai stocks (THD) fall 1.1% on the news. Across the region: Philippine (EPHE), Malaysian (EWM), and Indonesian (IDX) shares rise 1.6%, 0.41%, and 0.47% respectively while stocks in Singapore (EWS, EWSS) fall 1.13%. Profit-taking in Vietnam (VNM) snaps a two day rally. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, May 28, 9:03 AM Thai stocks (THD) rise 1.66% ahead of tomorrow's central bank meeting — investors (and the country's finance minister) are hoping for a rate cut as a strong baht has recently led some to begin throwing around the idea of capital controls. In Indonesia, stocks (IDX) jump 1.8% recovering all of Monday's losses and then some. Around the region: Malaysian (EWM) and Philippine (EPHE) markets rise 0.51% and 0.22% respectively, shares in Singapore (EWS, EWSS) tick 0.44% higher, and Vietnamese equities (VNM) add 0.77% to Monday's strong gains, bringing their two-day rally to 3.2%. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, May 23, 9:14 AM An upward revision to Q1 GDP did little for stocks in Singapore (EWS) as the Straits Times tumbles 1.77% to its lowest level in in two weeks amid global selling. Across the region: Thai equities (THD) fall 1.5%, amid "caution" before next week's central bank meeting (on down days it's "rate cut caution" on up days its "rate cut speculation"), Malaysian shares (EWM) drop 0.61% in Kuala Lumpur, and Philippine stocks (EPHE) sink 0.96% in Manila, erasing three quarters of a two-day rally. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, May 22, 8:41 PM Singapore revises Q1 GDP up to show a 1.8% Q/Q expansion (seasonally adjusted, annualized) versus an advance estimate of a 1.4% decline. On a Y/Y basis the economy expanded 0.2%. The Ministry of Trade and Industry says "economic growth … is expected to improve gradually over the course of the year." The Singapore ETF (EWS) is up 19.8% Y/Y. Comment! [Global & FX]
