Singapore Economy Expands at Faster-Than-Estimated 38.6% Annualized Pace

 

Singapore’s government said the economy expanded faster than initially estimated last quarter and raised its forecast for export growth, judging that Asian demand will make up for any slowing of European sales.

 

Gross domestic product grew an annualized 38.6 percent from the previous three months in the first quarter, compared with an April estimate of 32.1 percent, the trade ministry said in a statement today. That was more than the median estimate for a 33.4 percent increase in a Bloomberg News survey of eight economists.

 

Singapore has raised its growth forecast twice this year and the central bank said last month it will allow the currency to strengthen as it joins Malaysia in withdrawing monetary stimulus.

Japan Economy Grows Less Than Estimated

 

Japan’s economy grew less than forecast in the first quarter as an export-led recovery failed to stoke consumer spending, putting pressure on the central bank to do more to end deflation as it begins a two-day meeting.

 

Gross domestic product rose an annualized 4.9 percent, less than the 5.5 percent median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of 21 economists, a Cabinet Office report showed in Tokyo. Export gains saw nominal GDP, which is unadjusted for price changes, increase 1.2 percent on a quarterly basis, the most in a decade.

Now Platinum & Palladium smoked. Before it was Crude, Lumber and copper. Then the Russell.

 

Before that is was the China/Goog connection.

 

Thank You for the Roses.

Daniel Frishberg:

 

"Sellers of stocks are now more motivated than they have been since the bull market began in March of 2009. Owners of stocks are now willing to take profits at current level. Buyers who were eager to assume risk only a few weeks ago, are now holding back awaiting lower prices.

 

We are about to be offered, over the next few month, cheap prices on steel, copper, raw materials, industrials, and all the building blocks of society."

According to McClellan and Summation, which are nearing extreme Dover Sole conditions again, a bounce of some kind is getting close.
