STI gained 65 pts or +3.85%, Nikkei up 156 pts or +1.84% while HSI surged 486.87 pts or +3.57% on stronger financial stocks. Trading turnover increased to 569M worth 88M.

Overseas Market Highlight:

Dow Jones climbed 174.75 points to 7924.56, after US government’s $24billion sale of seven year notes drew a yield of 2.384%, close to the 2.385% forecast. The auction for treasury notes spurred optimism that the government will be able to continue its record bond sales without spurring higher interest rates.

Currently there is no more strong and fresh catalyst to further boost up the market, Dow Jones is very likely to test the 8000level before its retreat after the rebound.
