SONA, Fed in focus as ‘ghost month’ approaches
Posted on July 25, 2016
AS THE “ghost month” nears, local equities’ momentum will depend on sentiment from this week’s events and second-quarter corporate earnings results, which, if positive, will allow the bellwether index to stay at the 8,100 level.
The Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) closed at 8,025.35 points last Friday, dropping from Thursday’s finish of 8,102.30, which marked a high for this year.
Last Friday’s close was likewise slightly lower than the main index’s finish of 8,030.06 points last July 15.
Today, President Rodrigo R. Duterte will lay out his agenda in his first State of the Nation Address (SONA), which analysts expect will affect investor sentiment throughout the week.
The market will also look out for the outcome of the two-day policy meeting of the US Federal Reserve, which starts on July 26.
“Given the recent revision in the IMF’s (International Monetary Fund) outlook for global economic growth, it doesn’t seem likely they will make any move on the rates at this point,” read the weekly outlook of the Marketing & Research Group of the local stock brokerage A&A Securities, Inc. sent to reporters via e-mail.
In addition, this week will see the continuance of the release of firms’ second-quarter earnings, which A&A projects to have “further improvements from the 1Q (first-quarter) performance.”
“For next week, since the market is close to peaking ‘ghost month,’ probably it would range between 7,800 and 8,000 with resistance at 8,100,” said Lexter A. Azurin, research head at Unicapital Securities, Inc. in a phone interview.
The so-called “ghost month” starts on August 3. The month is a period in the Lunar calendar when some Asian investors refrain from doing big investments or decisions that coincides with the vacation of fund managers in the West, thereby resulting in lower trading volumes.
“[With] the ‘ghost month’ just around the corner, the PSEi may be challenged to sustain levels above 8,000. However, depending on the outcome of the earlier mentioned key events, this could pose a buying window as the index continues to trade in an election year,” said A&A added.
Central banks from Washington to Tokyo take center stage this week, although policy makers are likely to remain cautious as they wait for the dust to settle from Britain’s shock vote to leave the European Union.
As they wait for political reassurances and greater clarity over the likely impact of the move, central banks have mostly avoided action since Britain’s June 23 referendum, calming jittery markets with verbal assurances but leaving the burden on governments to chart a path.
Indeed, the US Federal Reserve is all but certain to keep interest rates on hold on Wednesday, acknowledging improved economic prospects but offering few hints about its next move, keen to avoid repeating its past mistake of stoking rate hike expectations. — J.C. Lim with Reuters
