Daily Stock Report
Monday, October 05, 2026 at 09:39 SGT
1. Market Snapshot
Monday, 5 October 2026, 09:37 SGT — all major markets are open and trading normally (no US or SG public holiday, and not a weekend), though SGX figures are an early-session snapshot, so the very low SGX volume ratios are understated. Global sentiment is two-speed: US equities and onshore China are firm, Hong Kong is sharply lower, and crypto Fear & Greed holds at 70/100 - Greed but is trending down from 74 — a market that is still optimistic yet visibly losing momentum.
2. Market Benchmarks
| Index | Price | Chg% | RSI | 52W% | Trend |
|---|
| STI (SG) | 5,663.84 | +0.52% | 54.6 | +89.10% | Neutral |
| S&P 500 (US) | 7,722.72 | +0.73% | 63.4 | +93.70% | Neutral |
| HSI (HK) | 23,963.41 | -2.60% | 30.7 | +26.10% | Bearish |
| Shanghai Comp (CN) | 3,842.20 | +0.31% | 36.3 | +19.50% | Bearish |
| CSI 300 (CN) | 4,357.62 | +0.29% | --- | +98.80% | — |
US and onshore-China markets are leading: the S&P 500 (+0.73%) sits at 94% of its 52-week range with a golden cross, while the CSI 300 prints a fresh 98.8% 52W reading — a stark divergence from Hong Kong, where the HSI tumbled -2.60% to RSI 30.7 and only 26% of its yearly range. Singapore's STI (+0.52%) is holding up but flashing a death cross (MA20 < MA50), a short-term loss of momentum even as it trades ~9.6% above its 200-day average. Net: risk appetite is concentrated in US tech and onshore China, with Hong Kong and SGX-listed tech proxies as the clear laggards.
3. SGX Stocks (SGD)
| Name | Price | Chg% | RSI | Vol | MA20% | MA50% | MA200% | 52W% |
|---|
| DBS | 77.97 | +0.98% | 63.6 | +0.14 | +0.65% | +1.85% | +21.08% | +96.00% |
| OCBC | 31.87 | +0.66% | 61.0 | +0.10 | +0.66% | +2.61% | +29.02% | +95.60% |
| UMS | 2.92 | +1.04% | 73.6 | +0.15 | +9.67% | +12.17% | +39.65% | +89.10% |
| Sheng Siong | 3.21 | +0.00% | 41.2 | +0.05 | -0.79% | -0.85% | +6.91% | +81.60% |
| HSTECH | 0.66 | -0.30% | 34.1 | +0.15 | -4.06% | -9.05% | -16.12% | +0.90% |
Singapore banks remain the market's anchors — DBS (+0.97%, RSI 63.5) and OCBC (+0.66%, RSI 61.0) both sit within ~4% of their 52-week highs and hold golden crosses. Today's SGX volume ratios (DBS 0.14x, OCBC 0.10x, Sheng Siong 0.05x) are early-session artefacts of the 09:37 SGT snapshot and not meaningful thinness. UMS is the standout momentum name, +14.6% on the month with RSI 73.2 (overbought) and trading ~39% above its 200-day line — extended, but the golden cross is intact. The divergence is stark in the laggards: Sheng Siong is flat and below its 20/50-day averages, while the HSTECH ETF (-0.30%, RSI 34.1) is pinned at 0.9% of its 52-week range — effectively a 52-week low — as Hong Kong tech weakness bleeds through. Defensive positioning (banks + staples) is clearly outperforming China-tech beta.
4. US Stocks (USD)
| Name | Price | Chg% | RSI | Vol | MA20% | MA50% | MA200% | 52W% |
|---|
| NVDA | $233.95 | +1.34% | 82.4 | +1.13 | +4.54% | +7.18% | +16.56% | +94.70% |
| AAPL | $333.69 | +1.02% | 52.9 | +0.87 | +0.54% | +3.50% | +15.40% | +88.60% |
| TSLA | $370.59 | +4.65% | 59.5 | +1.40 | +1.57% | +6.62% | -5.75% | +36.30% |
| MCHI | $51.24 | -1.67% | 35.4 | +0.80 | -3.26% | -5.62% | -9.80% | +8.00% |
US mega-cap tech is the engine of global risk appetite today: TSLA led with +4.65% on 1.4x volume to reclaim its golden cross, and AAPL added +1.02%, comfortably above all key averages. NVDA (+1.34%) is the caution flag — RSI 82.4 is deeply overbought and the stock trades ~5% below its 52-week high at 94.7% of range, leaving it vulnerable to a mean-reversion pullback despite a strong golden cross and a ~16.6% cushion above the 200-day. MCHI is the mirror image: -1.67%, RSI 35.4, death cross, and only 8% of its 52-week range — China A-share proxies in USD terms remain in a clear downtrend. The setup favours trailing stops on extended winners rather than fresh chase entries.
5. HKSE Stocks (HKD)
| Name | Price | Chg% | RSI | Vol | MA20% | MA50% | MA200% | 52W% |
|---|
| BYD | HK$73.75 | -2.25% | 22.6 | +0.83 | -7.83% | -14.70% | -20.87% | +5.60% |
| Alibaba | HK$104.10 | -2.06% | 47.0 | +0.91 | -3.95% | -9.08% | -19.07% | +16.20% |
Hong Kong is the weakest major market on the board, and the watchlist shows why: BYD fell a further -2.25% to RSI 22.6 — deeply oversold — at just 5.6% of its 52-week range and ~21% below its 200-day average: a genuine capitulation setup, but one with no reversal signal yet. Alibaba (-2.06%, RSI 47.0) is also below all major averages with a death cross and only 16.2% of its yearly range, and the HSI itself at RSI 30.7 confirms broad-based selling pressure. For a contrarian investor, BYD's RSI < 25 combined with a virtually complete round-trip from its 52-week high is textbook oversold; but with price below every moving average, the disciplined play is to wait for stabilisation or an MA20 reclaim rather than catch the falling knife.
6. Crypto (USD)
Fear & Greed: 70/100 - Greed (down)
| Name | Price | Chg% | RSI | Vol | MA20% | MA50% | MA200% | 52W% |
|---|
| BTC | $86,693.62 | +2.28% | 50.6 | +0.57 | +4.62% | +9.69% | +21.25% | +42.30% |
| ETH | $2,725.38 | +1.42% | 39.7 | +0.54 | +2.93% | +8.97% | +28.65% | +37.50% |
| DOGE | $0.10 | +3.58% | 43.3 | +0.84 | +4.28% | +9.89% | +9.51% | +13.90% |
Crypto is in a recovery phase within a larger drawdown: BTC (+2.25% to ~$86.7k), ETH (+1.37%) and DOGE (+3.49%) all closed green and hold golden crosses, yet BTC trades at only 42% and DOGE at just 13.9% of their 52-week ranges — a market that has already capitulated hard from its highs (BTC's 52W high ~$126k). The Fear & Greed Index reads 70 (Greed) but with a downward trend; sentiment is positive yet cooling, which often precedes either consolidation or a sharp reversal. ETH's RSI 39.4 is the notable soft spot, lagging the bounce, and volume ratios under 0.6x across BTC and ETH suggest the rally is running on light participation — constructive price action, but not yet a high-conviction trend reversal.
7. Currency Corner (SGD Perspective)
USD/SGD firmed +0.16% to 1.2793, a mild US-dollar bounce that trims SGD strength at the margin, while CNY/SGD held near 0.1901. For a Singapore-based investor the practical read is simple: a stronger USD modestly inflates the SGD value of US and crypto holdings (all USD-denominated) and makes fresh USD deployments slightly more expensive, while a softer CNY/SGD reflects the weak China complex that is pressuring MCHI, BYD and Alibaba. No dramatic FX move today — SGD remains resilient near multi-year strength, so currency is not a major portfolio headwind this session.

Aggregate read: this is a barbell market. Strength is concentrated in US mega-cap tech (NVDA, AAPL and TSLA all golden-crossed and near highs) and Singapore banks (DBS/OCBC at 95%+ of range), while the entire China/HK complex — MCHI, BYD, Alibaba and HSTECH — sits in death-cross territory near 52-week lows, with BYD technically oversold. The single most actionable tension is NVDA: RSI 82.4 at 94.7% of range argues for trimming into strength, whereas BYD's RSI 22.6 at 5.6% of range is a contrarian watch-list entry pending stabilisation. Crypto's golden crosses plus cooling Greed suggest a fragile bounce rather than a breakout.
9. Earnings Calendar Alert
No watchlist ticker reports earnings within the next 14 days (window through 19 Oct 2026). Nearest catalyst: Tesla (TSLA) Q3 2026 results, Wednesday 21 October 2026 after the US close — just outside the window but worth diary-marking given TSLA's +4.65% session today. Looking further out, DBS and OCBC release Q3 2026 results on 5–6 November 2026, with BYD, AAPL and Alibaba expected in late October / mid-November.
10. TL;DR
Key Takeaway
Global risk appetite is split down the middle. US mega-cap tech (S&P 500 +0.73%; NVDA, AAPL and TSLA all golden-crossed) and Singapore banks (DBS +0.97%, OCBC +0.66%, both within ~4% of 52-week highs) are leading, while Hong Kong and China-facing names are bleeding — the HSI fell -2.60% to RSI 30.7, and BYD (RSI 22.6, 5.6% of its 52W range) and MCHI (8.0% of range) sit near capitulation. NVDA's RSI 82.4 at 94.7% of its yearly range is the clearest take-profit signal; BYD's deeply oversold RSI is the clearest contrarian watch, but with price below every moving average there is no confirmation yet. Crypto is bouncing (BTC +2.25%, ETH +1.37%, DOGE +3.49%) but on light sub-0.6x volume with Fear & Greed cooling from 74 to 70 — treat it as a fragile recovery, not a trend change. USD/SGD ticked +0.16% to 1.2793, marginally lifting the SGD value of USD assets. Actionable stance: hold SG banks, trail stops on extended US tech, keep dry powder for a confirmed China/HK bottom, and note that no watchlist ticker reports earnings within the next 14 days (nearest is Tesla's Q3 on 21 Oct).
