Charts in brief: 23 Jun 10.

AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT: It is hugging the support at 21.5c. MFI continues to descend and has gone below 50%.  I said earlier that if the price stays at or above 21.5c while MFI descends, it is good news for the bulls. This analysis is still valid.  The Bollinger bands look like they are in the early stages of tightening.  A narrowing of the bands signify reduced volatility before a possible sharp movement either way.  With the increased accumulation activity as suggested by the rising OBV, it is likely that this eventual movement is going to be up.

CapitaMalls Asia: I would be very cautious and not go long here. If we look at the daily chart, the price action has closed above the 100dMA. Even though it has done so on lower volume, bulls may cheer. However, if we look at the 100dEMA instead which gives greater weightage to recent price activity, we see a different picture and realise that resistance really has not been taken out yet and that is at $2.22.

Golden Agriculture: MFI seems to be in the early stages of forming lower highs and lower lows. Positive buying momentum is failing. The declining 50dMA is providing resistance at 54.5c now which is where the price closed today. Immediate support at 53.5c but a stronger support is at 51.5c where the 20dMA has just made a golden cross with the 200dMA.

Healthway Medical: Price has very clearly detached from the upper Bollinger band. Forming another doji at this stage suggests that it is most likely that a reversal is on the cards.  MFI is falling from overbought territory and the MACD is turning down towards the signal line. All signs of technical weakness. Initial support is at 18.5c, a resistance level which failed to be taken out earlier this year in March.

Problems in over-leveraged developed economies will eventually reach Asia, including Singapore, either via reduced Asian exports or shock to global financial system, says CIMB, according to Dow Jones....Against this backdrop, house advocates overweight strategy on defensive plays like REITs, as well as proxies to Asia consumption theme, such as Genting Singapore (G13.SG), Raffles Medical Group (R01.SG).

Go for defensive, consumption stocks in Singapore, says CIMB
