GFPT – Company Update Recommendation: ACCUMULATE Previous close: Bt8.20 Fair value: Bt8.65

We expect 2QCY13 earnings to be better than 2QCY12 as higher average selling prices (ASPs) in core chicken business would offset weakness in feed business.

Japan’s decision to lift its ban on imports of Thai raw poultry is expected to be delayed to the end of the year from Jul-Aug 2013 as earlier noted in our previous report in the wake of the H7N9 bird flu outbreak in China though Japan had already sent officials to inspect Thai chicken farms and processing plants since Mar 2013.

In our view, strong exposure to chicken business against the backdrop of a recovery in ASPs and a fall in production costs should allow GFPT to deliver 2QCY13 earnings growth in both y-y and q-q terms. We maintain an ‘ACCUMULATE’ stance on GFPT shares with a target price of Bt8.65/share.

Agile Property(3383.HK)- Keeping launching projects in East China

Recommendation: Accumulate Previous close: HK$8.17 Fair value: HK$9.60

In the first five months of 2013, Agile realized CNY 12.9 billion of contractual sales with the total contractual sales area reaching 1.1 million square meters, up 18.3% and 7.1% respectively YOY. The average unit price of contractual sales stood at CNY 11,737 per square meter. Till today, Agile has had CNY 4 billion worth of products that have been subscribed but not yet contracted.

Notwithstanding a seemingly dead cat bounce (in US markets) last Fri, equities and rates sold off (albeit at a slower pace last Fri) as deleveraging ensued after a hawkish shift in the Fed's stance last week. Markets are in a correction mode. We view the recent sell-off in markets as largely technical amid a still-healthy uptrend. Commodities -as an asset class- might be confronted with possibly structural headwinds. With possibly the renaissance of US manufacturing at the expense of China factories (which are weighed down by higher wage costs), the use of commodities in economic production will be used more efficiently and less intensively. Thus, even continued monetary easing might not be able to excite commodities bulls. Our UW for gold since Oct12 and it has proved to be a prescient call. Gold tumbled to multi-year lows last week. Notwithstanding a brief respite, we reckon the downward bias for gold is likely to continue to persist on account of the following: a) stronger USD on improved US trade balance (shale gas boom) as well as gradual pick up in economy b) receding tail risks on the EZ front (as reflected by the decline in 10yr yields of peripheral EZ sovereigns) c) awkward trend of disinflation worldwide (US, China and EZ) notwithstanding the synchronised monetary easing by major central banks. Subdued inflation diminish the importance of gold as a hedge against rising inflation Next key support for gold is pegged at 1157 (Jul 2010 low). No change to our broad asset allocation of OW equities, MW fixed income, MW commodities and UW gold. For the Nikkei, we might be at the tail end of the corrective wave and the index is forming a tentative support at 13k level. For the STI, the bulls have to defend 3100 level which was pierced thru’ on Fri. Downward bias will likely persist as long as it does not decisively clear above the 3230 resistance level. Near term support pegged at 3100. But amid the seemingly doom and gloom, there are still opportunities for bargain hunting, esp for our top picks (SGX , Keppel Corp, Pan United).

Singapore We initiate coverage on Amara Holdings with a “BUY”. Our analyst is positive

due to stable recurring earnings with strong visible growth profile. We expect the STI to consolidate at current levels, with key near term support

at 3,100 levels. Top picks for the year are Pan United (Buy, TP: S$1.21), SGX (Accumulate,

TP: S$8.00) & Keppel Corp (Accumulate, TP: S$12.34). Pan United, a dominant supplier to the construction industry in Singapore, is expected to ride on the construction boom. We also note a near term catalyst from potential increase in PUC’s stake in the profitable Changshu Xinghua Port. SGX should post higher revenue from higher Securities and Derivatives trading volumes. Keppel Corp’s YTD order wins are high, while margins are expected to be attractive due to its better track record compared to global peers.

Thailand Thai stocks opened deep in the red, down nearly 50 points last Fri on persistent

concerns over the Federal Reserve’s plan to dial back on QE before the SET index recouped some of earlier losses to finish the session down a mere 1.69 points, helped by buying in energy counters.

The choppiness is likely to continue in the Thai stock market amid the extremely high level of intraday swings. Investors should keep an eye on portfolio rebalancing by foreign investors in the wake of the US Federal Reserve’s QE tapering plan. Currency weakness would be one of the catalysts for continued foreign sell-off after the strengthening of the US dollar put downward pressure on the Thai baht to above 31.1 to the dollar.

Institutional buying should however lend some support to the market due to end-of-quarter ritual of window dressing. Statistics over the past decade showed 70%-80% prevalence of window dressing rally in Thai stocks during the last five trading days of 2Q with average market gains of between 1.3-2.0%.

In current market conditions, we believe selective trading with the ‘sell the rallies and buy the dips’ strategy makes sense for the Thai stock market. Equity exposure should be capped at 25% of the short-term portfolio.

Resistance for the SET index is seen at 1440-1468 and support at 1380-1350 today.

Indonesia

The Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) tumbled Friday (21/06), extended losses to the third consecutive day as stock markets in Asia continued falling after the US Federal Reserve's plan to wind down bond purchases hit investors' confidence. The JCI lost 114.622 points, or 2.48%, to 4,515.372. The decline on Friday included all 9 major industry groups, with infrastructure sector fared worst with 3.78%-plunge, basic industry sector also fell 3.78%, and miscellaneous industry sector shed 3.14%. The LQ45 index slid 24.341 points, or 3.20%, to close at 736.263. On Friday, Indonesian government officially announced the increase in subsidized fuel prices, as expected. Price of subsidized gasoline rose 44% to IDR 6,500 a liter, and subsidized diesel fuel rose 22% to IDR 5,500. Bank Indonesia said it expects inflation to reach 2.2% - 2.4% (MoM), above the historical range of between 0.7% - 0.9%, after the administration raised subsidized fuel prices. Year-on-year, inflation is seen to reach 7.67% to 7.87%. 200 shares fell and 70 shares rose Friday on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, where regular market volume reached 4.88 billion shares worth IDR 8.38 trillion. Foreign investors' transactions netted in a net sale of IDR 2.25 trillion.

The Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) looked set for a moderate rebound today, after a steep decline last Friday (22/06) that brought the index to near 4,500. Modest gains on US markets on Friday and rally in Japan this morning may spur positive momentum for Indonesian market today. But gains may be capped by concerns about looming inflationary pressure after the government's plan to raise subsidized fuel price became official since the weekend. We expect the JCI to rise moderately, with range of movement between 4,429 and 4,605.

The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index was down 19.6 points or 0.41 per cent to 4,738.8 points.

Today (24/06/13), the local bourse looks set to open lower following a mixed performance on Wall Street as the fallout continues from the US Federal Reserve's signalling it could soon start winding back its stimulus measures. The SFE 200 is pointing downwards 51 points or 1.08 per cent to 4,637.

US The dollar rose to a two-week high versus the yen before data that may add to the case for the Federal Reserve to pare back bond

purchases. The U.S. currency strengthened before reports due tomorrow that will probably show orders for durable goods grew and house prices continued to recover. Fed Bank of Dallas President Richard Fisher will speak on monetary policy in London today. The yen slumped against most of its 16 major peers as Japan’s ruling coalition won a majority in Tokyo elections, signaling support for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s quest to end deflation. The Dollar Index, which Intercontinental Exchange Inc. uses to monitor the greenback against the currencies of six U.S. trade partners, rose 0.3 percent to 82.531 and reached 82.591 earlier, the most since June 6.

Major economies risk ballooning debt loads unless their growth can keep pace with increases in borrowing costs as spending on the

elderly rises, according to the Bank for International Settlements. Japan’s public debt would swell to 600 percent of gross domestic product by 2050 on a 2 percentage-point increase in funding costs, should its age-related government spending continue unchecked, the Basel-based BIS said in its 83rd annual report. In the U.S., the debt-to-GDP ratio would almost double to 200 percent under the same circumstances, it said. Treasury 10-year note yields rose past 2.5 percent for the first time in almost two years on June 21, having climbed from a record low of 1.379 percent set on July 25, 2012. The average yield to maturity on the more-than-20,000 securities in the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Broad Market Index rose to 2.03 percent on June 20, the highest since April 26, 2012.

Singapore THE strata office market could see prices rise by 5 to 8 per cent as the buying momentum continues into this year. Transaction volumes

crossed a third of last year's levels in the first five months of 2013, in what is shaping up to be a year when sales volumes are unlikely to match 2012's peak, said CBRE. Last year, sales of new and resale strata-titled offices reached an all-time high of $2.29 billion, 81 per cent more than the $1.27 billion in 2011. The numbers of deals last year - 1,059 - were more than double the 508 in 2011. Even while volumes thin, prices are likely to see modest growth. (Source: BT Online)

Hong Kong China’s central bank said it may adjust monetary policy as needed, suggesting officials are more open to loosening policies as a cash

squeeze risks exacerbating an economic slowdown. The People’s Bank of China said the nation should “appropriately fine-tune” its policies, according to a statement yesterday that summarized the monetary policy committee’s second-quarter meeting in Beijing. It was the first time since September that the panel, led by Governor Zhou Xiaochuan, has used the “fine-tune” phrase. The comments were released following an easing of the cash crunch on June 21 after a gauge of interbank funding availability rose to the highest since at least 2003. Slowing growth in the world’s second-largest economy, a crackdown on illegal capital inflows and efforts to rein in shadow banking have contributed to increased borrowing costs. (Source: Bloomberg)

To offset falling PC sales and reduce its reliance on ThinkPad notebooks, Lenovo Group Ltd. (992) is adding a gaming service that the computer maker says can help it overtake Samsung Electronics Co. in smartphones in China. Lenovo Game World will include social-networking features, software reviews and gameplay tips when it starts in the third quarter, offering popular titles like “Fruit Ninja” for devices such as the computer maker’s Ideaphone K900 that run Google Inc. (GOOG)’s Android operating system. Software and services underpin Chief Executive Officer Yang Yuanqing’s push to sell more handsets as demand for personal computers slides. While Lenovo’s app store has logged more than 1 billion downloads since it opened in 2010, the company is looking to Game World for an edge in the biggest market for handsets, where mobile-game sales of $1.6 billion this year will rise about 50 percent annually for the next three years, researcher Analysys International predicts. Unlike the U.S., where Google and Amazon.com Inc. dominate sales of Android applications, China has hundreds of companies offering mobile software. Lenovo wants to set itself apart from that crowd with features like those available on Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s Game Center, such as global leader boards that let players see how they compare to the world’s best. (Source: Bloomberg)

Indonesia The finance minister sees stronger Rupiah and trade balance after the fuel-price increase this month, as imports of oil would fall. The

The government intends to raise subsidized gasoline prices to 6,500 rupiah (USD 0.65) a liter and subsidized diesel to 5,500 rupiah, both from 4,500 rupiah. That compares with 9,800 rupiah a liter outside Indonesia. (Source: Bloomberg)

Indonesia's Investment Coordinating Board, “BKPM”, said the increase in subsidized fuel price would not prevent the country from achieving its investment target of IDR 390.3 trillion this year.
