Malaysia:. The FBM KLCI (-0.3%) recorded its fourth day losing streak, in tandem with the weakness across the regional markets. The lower liners declined, while the energy sector (-2.2%) was the biggest loser amongst the sectorial peers after crude oil price slipped to the lowest level since January 2022.
Global markets:. Wall Street closed mixed as the Dow ended flat, but the S&P 500 (- 0.2%) and Nasdaq (-0.5%) fell on unabated concern over the potential economic downturn on the back of aggressive monetary tightening policy. The European stockmarkets trended lower, while the Asia stockmarkets finished mostly negative.
The FBM KLCI extended its losing streak as investors continued to stay on the sidelines. While investors may cheer for China’s easing of Covid-19 restrictions, gains might be capped as worries over the US Federal Reserve long rate-hike cycle could dampen the economic growth going forward. On the local front, we believe focus will be on the re-tabling of Budget 2023 and traders will be watching the developments on the tackling of high living costs by the government. Commodities wise, the Brent crude oil extended its decline, trading below USD80, while the CPO price hovered above RM4,050.
Sector focus:. Investors may favour the banking in the window dressing month, while look out for defensive consumer stocks to acquire under this challenging environment. Investors may also put the tourism stocks on their radar after China’s easing measures. The technology sector may see further selldown as investors could be in risk-off mode amid global uncertainties.
The FBM KLCI slipped below its daily EMA9 level as the key index dropped for the fourth straight session. Technical indicators remained mixed as the MACD Histogram extended a negative bar, while the RSI is hovering above 50. Support is pegged along 1,450-1,460, while the resistance is set at 1,500-1,510.
