Juice


Fund Flows
Hedge funds sit out rally with speculation on stock gains close to ’09 low. Rallying stocks have done little to entice professional money managers back to U.S. equities.
Comment: They probably lost too much last year to be too daring at the start of the year

O&M
Keppel (BN4) AmFELS to Construct and Upgrade Deepwater Semisubmersible for Diamond Offshore for US$150 million
Comment: This brings Keppel's orderbook to S$10.9b. Orderbook is stronger but price may be on the high side now

Ezra's (5DN) subsea construction division EMAS AMC wins about 450 million krone (S$97million) Statoil contracts in the North Sea on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The deals are worth up to 600 million krone if options to expand the work to more floating platforms are exercised.
Comment: Note that Ezra is closing on its US$1b target orderbook. Which is a good thing
