Singapore Stocks - STI Weekly Technical Analsis Outlook

 
 

Weekly wrap of STI: Starting if the week STI was bearish. Asian markets slipped as a strong US jobs report fuelled expectations the Federal Reserve will bring forward an interest rate rise. But more poor Chinese data lifted Shanghai on hopes of renewed easing measures. Official data released which showed China's exports falling more than 3% and imports declining almost 20% in January. Shares sank on heightened concerns over Greece's standoff with its creditors after talks in Brussels between the country's anti-austerity government and euro zone finance ministers failed to achieve any deal. STI opening and closing was not good. Profitable Trading Signals
