There is no turning back for Singapore anymore.

China is using land freights to replace or reduce sea freights through Singapore. Even if we were to kowtow to China, it wouldn't change anything as China had invested a huge sum of money for the one-belt-one-road economic developments.
This year will be the harbinger for more bad economic growth for Singapore because China is trying to cripple our economy for our support with USA to contain China. This is the price we will be paying and our future generations will suffer because of our mistake.

Japan stock index (Nikkei 225) has more upsides! - Part 2
Current futures = 19080 (last closing)
Expected futures = 19600
Date from 2 Jan 17 to 10 Mar 17 = 67 days
Upside deviation for Dec 2016= 1.45%
Downside deviation for Dec 2016 = -1.32%
Risk-free rate = 2.45% as of 30 December 16
As Nikkei has risen more than 1000 points from our buy call, it has shown that Nikkei has digested all the exigent circumstances like Brexit and Trump victory. Therefore, the past data will no longer have any bearing on the future and we’ll only use December 2016 for our data analysis.
After inputing all the above parameters, binomial probability for upside is 63.9% and downside is 36.1%. Therefore, if the fundamental factors like yen weaknesses and interest rate rises do not change, Nikkei will continue to rise further.
Part 1.

China refuses to grant South Korea air rights.

This is expected when South Korea tried to install THAAD defence system. When you tried to hurt my country, I won't do business with you. This is a basic principle that is present everywhere.
Indonesia also does the same thing by blocking JP Morgan.

US rig count - 658
HOUSTON (AP) -- The number of rigs exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. increased by five this week to 658.
A year ago, 698 rigs were active. Depressed energy prices have curtailed exploration, although the rig count has been rebounding in recent weeks.
Houston oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. said Friday that 525 rigs sought oil and 132 explored for natural gas this week. One was listed as miscellaneous.
Texas gained three rigs, Oklahoma added two and New Mexico and North Dakota were up one each.
Kansas declined by one rig.
Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Louisiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming were all unchanged.
The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981. It bottomed out in May at 404.

Singapore first casualty in the expected economic slump.
https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/singapore-inchcape-sack-120-workers-074155097.html
If you have read our previous postings, you will know that we're less sanguine about our economic growth because of China containment for Singapore economic growth which is leading to lesser sea freight demands and diminishing port volumes.

USA is nothing but a troublemaker!
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/philippines-duterte-calls-u-envoys-spies-over-alleged-125215301.html
USA is a troublemaker wherever it is present. Just look at Syria, Iraq, Afganistan, Palestine, Turkey, South Korea, Philippines and South China Sea. No wonder it is losing support and getting alienated in Asia.

USA has been supporting and grooming terrorists in Middle East.
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/turkey-insists-us-provided-weapons-kurdish-militia-102217736.html
It's a known fact to political scientists that USA created terrorists in the Middle East. Therefore, it's not surprising that Turkey is accusing USA of supporting terrorists. USA abandoned the terrorists when it couldn't control them anymore, just like USA abandoned Israel in UN.
USA is known to be an unreliable partner and ally and we should stay away from USA.

Israel is the aggressor against Palestine.
Israel has been swallowing up Palestine's land and killing Palestinians with USA support. This has angered the world and the world is condemning Israel for its wrongdoings. In the latest UN voting against Israel, USA didn't veto the vote like in the past as it was not worth incurring the wrath of the world but abstained from voting because it knew the world was against Israel vehemently. The US abstinence angered Israel and Israel condemned US for it. Consequently, the US-Israel relationship will become rocky after this.

South Korea takes on a different view of USA now!

After the impeachment of President Park, South Korea is getting anti-USA because USA messed up South Korea with THAAD defence system installation.
South Korea is getting tough with USA to appease its citizens and China. This is the reason for such a gargantuan fine.

The importance of China naval drill.
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/taiwan-says-chinese-carrier-heading-towards-hainan-024228649.html
China naval drill has 2 significant importance. First, it is sending a message to Taiwan that it can attack Taiwan from the East and West. Second, it is telling the USA implicitly that it is capable of breaching the first line of containment. It will be before long that China can also breach the 2nd line of containment at Guam.
China is currently developing another 3 aircraft carriers for South China Sea. By then, China can no longer be contained by USA in South China Sea.
