Malaysia:. The FBM KLCI (+0.4%) staged a mild recovery from a 3-day slump as bargain hunting activities in telco-related heavyweights yesterday. The lower liners, however, remained downbeat, while the broader market ended mixed with the telecommunications & media sector (+1.3%) leading the winners list.
Global markets:. Wall Street ended mixed as the Dow fell 0.3% but the S&P 500 (+0.3%) and Nasdaq (+1.0%) rose on bargain hunting from the selloff inn technology shares. The European stockmarkets advanced, but Asia stock markets ended mixed.
The FBM KLCI bucked the downtrend in the regional markets, following the three straight session of decline, mainly powered by bargain hunting in telecommunication and selected banking heavyweights. We foresee investors to continue to buy the dip ahead of the earnings season, but overall market sentiment may be tested by concerns over (i) impact of Cukai Makmur, (ii) mixed performances on Wall Street overnight, and (iii) the upcoming BNM’s interest rate decision. Commodities wise, the CPO and crude oil price hovered around RM6,300 and USD102.
Sector focus:. We expect buying support to emerge gradually in the healthcare sector following HARTA’s result, despite recording losses due to one-off Cukai Makmur. Besides, the proposal by the Malaysia’s commodities ministry to cut the export tax on palm oil by half may propel the plantation sector.
The FBM KLCI improved above the SMA200 level, snapping its three-session decline in a volatile trade. Technical indicators remained negative as the MACD Histogram has extended a negative bar, while the RSI hovered below the 50 level. The support is pegged at 1,505, while the resistance is envisaged around 1,570- 1,580.
