Malaysia:. The FBM KLCI (+0.4%) managed to recover most of its previous session losses, boosted by gains in selected gloves, telco and banking heavyweights yesterday. The lower liners extended their winning streak, while the broader market ended mostly higher, led by the healthcare sector (+1.9%).
Global markets:. The US stockmarkets pullback as the Dow (-1.1%) sank on the US Federal Reserve hawkish remarks over the possibility of earlier and faster interest rate hikes, while the 10-Year treasury yield rose to 1.7%; the highest since April 2021. Both the European and Asia stockmarkets closed mixed.
The FBM KLCI rebounded from its two-day decline as investors were buying the dip, especially in healthcare heavyweights on the back of concerns over emergence of Covid-19 IHU variant. However, the local sentiment may turned cautious, tracking the negative performance on Wall Street overnight following the December US Federal Reserve meeting minutes, which suggested the tone is more hawkish and market may anticipate faster rate hikes and quicker tapering progress. Meanwhile, the CPO price hovered around RM5,000, while the crude oil price rose above the USD80 per barrel mark.
Sector focus:. We believe the advanced CPO price on the back of concerns over supply disruption due to flooding will continue to lend support to the plantation stocks. Besides, the oil & gas counters may be under the limelight as the crude oil price trended higher above USD80 per barrel mark. Also, traders might move back to value stocks with the Fed turning more hawkish.
The FBM KLCI snapped a two-day losing streak and stayed above the EMA9 level. Technical indicators were positive as the MACD Histogram has extended a positive bar, while the RSI hovered above the 50 level. The support level is pegged along 1,530, while the resistance is set at 1,560.
