SET50 Futures: SET50 Index may continue to fluctuate. Key influencing
factors are Greek crunch solution and the FOMC meeting, while local
factors are still uncertain. We recommend trading S50M15 within a
frame of 980-991 pts.

Oil Futures: A short position of BRN15 with the cost of B2,225 has
provided B32/barrel profit so far; we recommend holding, aiming to
take profit at B2,055 (US$61) but avoiding loss by setting a stop loss
point at the cost.

Gold Futures: The gold price has a limited upside, so there is a better
chance of taking profit from a short position. We recommend waiting to
open a short position of GFM15 at B19,100 (US$1,190), aiming to take
profit at B18,800 (US$1,170) and cutting loss at +B100 from the cost.

SET50 Index Futures
■ SET50 Index: There are three factors to keep an eye on this week. Firstly, the IMF withdrew its negotiating team from the bailout
talks, leaving Greece no choice but to comply with TROIKA#s obligations; Greece#s new economic reform plan will be first
considered by the German government and has to get approval from the parliament meeting on June 16-17; then it will be held
before the EC finance ministers# meeting on June 18 for approving the bailout funds. Secondly, Fed chairwoman Janet Yellen is
giving a testimony about the FOMC meeting outcome, which is projected to concern Greek crunch, warning about overseas risks,
and confirming a policy rate hike at the end of the year. Finally, the Chinese central bank (PBOC) may relax its lending policy and
reduce the reserve requirement ratio after the previous two cuts to 18.5% recently. Although overseas factors have been positive,
they would have insignificant impact on the SET for there are still local risks from the market#s EPS and current P/E ratio (17.65x
of SET and 16.56x of SET50) that indicates a limited upside. Consequently, we believe the Index would not easily surpass 1,000
pts in the near future, possibly swinging downward around 980-1,000 pts.
■ Direction Trading: S50M15 was back under an influence of the downtrend line again, possibly swinging downward around 980991 pts today; investors can trade a short position of S50M15 from the improving basis. For ASPS Derivatives Portfolio, we are
staying away from investment while estimating the situation, before taking a follow position later.
■ Basis Trading: The basis between S50M15 and SET50 was -3.39 pts, slightly lower than the theoretical of -0.73 pts, nothing
significant.
■ Spread Trading: According to ASPS Carry Cost Model, a theoretical spread between S50U15 and S50M15 is -7.40 pts. As the
current spread is standing at -8.70 pts, there is still not a chance to seek profit from spread.
