Potential monetary easing by MAS on the cards
The STI ended the first day of the week slightly lower (-0.07%) with a total traded
value of S$957.6m, a decline of almost 40% compared to the previous trading
session, where S$1,537.7m worth of shares were traded. Share price of Noble
(+4.00%; S$0.910) surged after the company mentioned that it will start legal
proceedings against Hong Kong resident Arnaud Vagner and Enlighten Ace Ltd for
conspiracy to injure Noble through the series of reports published under Iceberg
Research.

Singapore’s consumer prices fell 0.3% in February, registering a fourth consecutive
month dip as a soft housing rental market and fall in private transport costs
weighed on inflation. However, core inflation rose 1.3% on the back of stronger
increase in food prices and services fees. The decline in headline inflation might
prompt MAS to ease its monetary policy further during its policy review scheduled
in April. A poll by Reuters showed that seven out of 11 analysts expect MAS to ease
its monetary policy further. We expect SGD to weaken further should this happen.
Banks (DBS +0.75%; OCBC +0.10%; UOB +0.44%) may benefit from the rise in SOR
on the back of the weaker SGD.

Overnight, US markets (S&P -0.17%; DJIA -0.06%; Nasdaq -0.31%) also retreated on
profit-taking after initially posting gains earlier in the session on the back of strong
gains last week. The USD continued to weaken after US Fed Vice Chairman Stanley
Fisher indicated that while an interest rate hike is expected this year, the path
upwards will almost certainly not be smooth in anticipation of shocks such as
volatility in oil prices. Such dovish expectations may continue to benefit S-REITs in
the near term.

Roxy-Pacific Holdings (ROXY SP): Acquires 4.4ha land in Western
Australia with JV partner for A$59mil
Roxy-Pacific Holdings has, with its joint-venture (JV) partner Hostplus, acquired a
4.4-hectare land parcel in North Fremantle, Perth, Australia for A$59mil (S$63mil).
Roxy NF, a subsidiary of Roxy-Pacific, will provide 40% of the equity for the
acquisition. The remaining 60% will be provided by Hostplus, which is an
Australia-based superannuation fund. The JV partners intend to rezone the
industrial site - located next to the prime Leighton beach and a train station
connected directly to Perth's central business district - for residential and
commercial uses.
Rex International (REXI SP): Joint entity raises financing facility
Rex International Holding's jointly-controlled entity, Lime Petroleum Norway AS
(Lime Norway), has secured an increase of its financing facility from 300mil
Norwegian kroner (S$52mil) to 700mil kroner to fund its participation in its
offshore exploration drilling programme this year. In addition to this financing
facility, the shareholders of Lime Petroleum plc have made capital injections
totalling approximately US$35mil in November 2013, January 2014 and March
2015, which were proportionate to their respective shareholding interests in Lime
Petroleum plc, of which Lime Norway is a wholly-owned subsidiary.

Loyz Energy has placed out about S$14mil worth of new shares at an issue price of

34.6% and 25.7% of the existing and enlarged issued and paid-up share capital of
the company, respectively. Loyz Energy said that the placement is meant to raise
funds to improve the company's financial position as well as bolster its general
corporate requirements.
