Malaysia:. The FBM KLCI (-0.7%) started off the week on a dour note with more than two-thirds of the key index components ended in red following the formation of the new cabinet. The lower liners, however, marched higher, while the energy sector (+1.8%) continues to outperform in the mostly negative sectorial peers.
Global markets:. Wall Street closed lower as the Dow dipped 1.4% after the ISM Services PMI data unexpectedly jumped to 56.5 in November of 2022; fuelling speculation that the Fed may need to increase the interest rate for a longer period. The European stockmarkets ended lower, but Asia stockmarkets closed mixed.
The FBM KLCI declined further as investors deployed a “sell on news” strategy following the formation of new cabinet. With the sentiment turning negative on Wall Street, we expect more profit taking activities to emerge on the local front; especially the technology sector. Nevertheless, we believe the downside risk could be limited with investors eyeing for the 10 new Covid-19 easing measures to be announced by China on Wednesday. Back home, the market will be awaiting announcement from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security regarding the new mechanism to control egg prices. Commodities wise, the Brent crude oil price fell to USD83 per barrel level, while the CPO price hovered above RM3,950.
Sector focus:. The poultry segment will be on traders’ radar as the market awaits the new price control mechanism. Meanwhile, we expect the construction, solar related and telco sectors to stay in focus ahead of the re-tabling of Budget 2023. Also, the market may look for window dressing trades.
The FBM KLCI slid further to close below its daily EMA9 level. Technical indicators turned mixed as the MACD Histogram plotted a negative bar, while the RSI is hovering above 50. Support is envisaged along 1,450-1,460, while the resistance is set at 1,500-1,510.
