Malaysia:. The FBM KLCI (-0.2%) staged a mild pullback, dragged by weakness in Petronas-related and selected telco heavyweights yesterday. The lower liners also retreated, while the utilities sector (-1.2%) emerged as the worst performer amongst the sectorial peers.
Global markets:. The US stockmarkets rebounded as the Dow jumped 1.6% to reclaim the 34,000 psychological level ahead of the release of key inflation data that will provide further guidance over the upcoming US Fed interest rate decision. Both the European and Asia stockmarkets, however, closed mostly negative.
The FBM KLCI dipped alongside with the regional markets as traders were cautious ahead of the monetary policy meetings across the globe this week. Given that the Wall Street gained momentum overnight in the anticipation of a declining US CPI data, we expect buying interest may set in for the local exchange. Nevertheless, the FOMC meeting outcome on the 14th of Dec will be crucial for the overall stock markets’ direction. At this stage, the market is expecting a softer CPI and the Fed may turn dovish. The Brent crude oil surged above USD77 per barrel mark as a key pipeline in the US remained closed, while Russia threatened a potential production cut. Meanwhile, the CPO price hovered above RM3,800.
Sector focus:. The surge in crude oil price may draw investors’ attention towards the oil & gas sector. Besides, the construction sector may gain traction ahead of the revision of Budget 2023. The technology sector should track the rebound in Nasdaq and regain its strength for the session.
The FBM KLCI ended marginally lower but managed to hold above its daily EMA9 level. Technical indicators remained mixed as the MACD Histogram extended a negative bar, while the RSI is hovering above 50. Resistance is set around 1,500- 1,510, while the support is located around 1,450-1,460.
