    Default Yellen not much impression yet..

    While world financial markets hang on her every word, Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen isn’t making much of an impression yet on ordinary Americans.

    Just 24 per cent of respondents correctly identified Janet Yellen as the chair of the US central bank in a survey by the Pew Research Centre in Washington.
    Seventeen per cent believed Alan Greenspan, who resigned in 2006, still holds the job.

    It is very interesting.

    What a week for global stocks market? We saw market drop and volatility not only in European market but also in the USA and Asia pacific region. The S & P 500 index fell 3.1 percent for the week. I believe there may be support at 1,900 for S & P 500.

    Investors take refuge in large cap consumer staples

    Zack Industry Rank

    Among consumer staples The Food – Meat Products industry is the best placed with a Zacks Industry Rank #14, which places it in the top 1/3rd of the 260+ industry groups. It is followed by Beverages with a Zacks Industry Rank of #88 and #43, respectively.

    Iran is going to sell its oil to Asia in November at the biggest discount in almost six years, matching cuts by Saudi Arabia. So Iran has matched Saudi Arabia by cutting oil prices. Gold prices could fall further in the coming months. In the meantime corn and soya bean prices are plummeting due to expected bumper crop globally. The expected record corn and soybean harvest will be slightly bigger than previously estimated.

    Among currencies both AUD and NZD are depreciating against USD and their bear journey will start sooner than later.

    Overall there are still some opportunities in global markets and this is the time to rotate sectors. Overvalued currencies, commodities, sectors, stocks and markets should replace with undervalued currencies, commodities, sectors, stocks and markets now. Current selloff will create another opportunity as well. Asian Frontier markets are the places to watch in the coming months specially markets which are due for great uptrend. In sector wise Asian consumer staples sector will have growth more than other sectors in the coming years due to increased population in Asia. They will eat more protein such as meat and egg and will drink more coffee, tea and milk in the coming decade.

    Best Performing Sector of 2014

    Frontier markets have led the charge so far this year - up on average 25% since January. But the surprise star performer has been agriculture, returning 32% in nine months.

    I believe still some markets have their legs. There will be opportunities in market pullback time to time. Selected emerging and frontier markets in Asia and South American region could have more growth in their stock markets in the coming quarters.

    I found very interesting link.

    A Stock Market Pullback Should Fuel The Next Leg Of This Secular Bull Market

    Among commodities we may see further weakness in gold and grain prices in the coming months. On the other hand there could be demand for emerging commodities in the coming years. As I expected oil is trading around $80 per barrel now. USD should become number one bullish currency in the world toward end of 2015. On the other hand currencies such as NZD, AUD could fall further toward end of 2015 and in 2016.

    I believe it is time to identify next winning markets, sectors, commodities and currencies globally. It is also time to avoid overvalued markets, sectors, commodities and currencies.

    This is not the time for gold stocks.

    As I said before still global markets have their legs. What a week for global stock markets. Fortunately we escaped from October selling. U.S. stocks jumped, sending indexes to records, thanks to stimulus from the Bank of Japan. Europe and Asia pacific region stocks also jumped.

    Asian stocks markets could appreciate further over the next six to eight months. Among frontier market in Asia, Sri-Lankan stock market could do well in the coming months. I expect selected sectors and stocks to outperform over the next six months given attractive relative valuations. Consumer staples, infrastructure sectors are two of the places to watch in frontier and emerging markets in Asia. Listed meat, hot beverages stocks, selected IT stocks, agri stocks, travel and tourism stocks and infrastructures stocks should outperform other stocks in Asia.

    Those who panicked when they heard QE must be regretting now. Although the Federal Reserve has now ended its quantitative easing (QE) program, the stock market is still rising.

    It is interesting to see that U.S. equities recorded their fifth-straight week of gains. There are bull markets even in Asian and pacific region including frontier markets. Actually every pullback has created opportunities for stock market players in the current global bull market. Despite gloomy prediction by some it is going to be one of the longest bull markets that we ever had. Eventually this should reverse at some point and we cannot say when.

    I think this powerful bull market is not going to end easily and we may see year end rally as well.
