SGX down 1.6 pct after revised merger deal

SINGAPORE, Feb 15 (Reuters) - Shares of Singapore Exchange , Asia's second-largest listed bourse, fell as much as 1.6 percent after they were lifted from a trading halt following an announcement on Tuesday that it had made changes to its merger deal with Australian bourse operator ASX Ltd .

At 0605 GMT, SGX shares were 1 percent lower at S$8.27, with 641,000 shares traded.

ASX and SGX will each have an equal number of directors in a merged group, after renegotiating their $7.9 billion deal to help win support from Australian politicians.

Both exchanges are expected to submit their revised tie-up proposal with Australia's Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) in the "next few weeks," SGX chief executive Magnus Bocker told reporters Tuesday.

Singapore Exchange: Decision Time

SGX has been drifting in a range since the merger-euporia-rally, and the high volume fall. From the arithmetic chart below, it is evident that a move eitherways in required. Currently sitting on previous support of $8.25 and the rising trendline, with the 200-day MA not far below, chances of a bounce here outweigh a decline - by a bit. I may go long here, with a suitable stop.

Upside targets: $8.70 initially, followed by $9.20
Downside support: 200-day MA initially, followed by $7.70

Remaining bearish on the long-term picture as well as the merger. All the best!

Pretty soon in the world we will just have 3 Exchanges. They will be called "Asian", "American" and "Europe".
