There is still ample liquidity supporting the markets

While higher rates may have negative impacts on equity portfolios in the long run, such as economic weakness or investors moving away from equities, I do not see this affecting the stock market yet. The markets are still receiving substantial support from the large amount of liquidity generated by US central bank during the pandemic, and we are currently only -12% off from the peak stimulus provided by the US Federal Reserve.

Last week, global markets including S&P 500, HSI, and China A50 bounced off the forecasted 38.2% retracement level. The markets are still showing a bias towards the upside, but I like to also warn against potential short-term volatility.

Moving Forward, my portfolio strategy continues to focus on adding stocks and seeking out short-term trading opportunities during market weaknesses.

Wyckoff's Law of Effort

Law of Effort Wyckoff's Law of Effort states that on any single trading day (or week depending on time frame), huge volume (effort) push by participants should see huge price movement, resulting in a wide spread (long body). This is a basic principle of effort and result. However, as per Singtel's case study, we saw huge selling volume on 11 May, yet the price action only shows a narrow spread (small body). This divergence of effort and result in Wyckoff's Law of Effort principles, indicates possible exhaustion in selling or hidden buying. Thus, with a lack of weakness, Singtel should continue trading range bound for the coming days or weeks till further strength or weakness is observed. Swing Traders who trades range can consider positions at 3.70-3.72, with exit target 3.76-3.78.

Keppel DC REIT (AJBU): Expect price to trade towards S$2.00

  Keppel DC REIT (AJBU) Expect price to trade towards S$2.00 We have observed a decrease in technical supply at the S$1.80 support area during recent trading sessions. Furthermore, a softer interest rate outlook could be advantageous for the Data Centre operator.  Consequently, we anticipate the REIT to move towards our initial target of S$2.00, with the potential to reach S$2.20 if it breaks through resistance. Our stop level is set below S$1.72. Disclaimers Apply
