Malaysia:. The FBM KLCI (-0.03%) edged mildly lower, taking cue from the weakness on Wall Street as the key index fell -1.0% WoW. The lower liner, however, marched higher, while the transportation & logistics sector (+2.5%) rallied for the sixth straight session to close at the highest level since October 2022.
Global markets:. The US stockmarkets recovered all their previous session losses as the Dow (+2.0%) rallied after the softer jobs data may hold the US Federal Reserve having to further intensify their stance to battle inflation. The European stockmarkets also turned upbeat, but the Asia stockmarkets ended mixed.
The FBM KLCI ended marginally lower amidst the mixed regional markets sentiment, paring most of its intraday losses as bargain hunting activities emerged. We believe the jump on Wall Street on Friday, coupled with the reopening of China’s border could spark a rally on the regional markets as well as on the local bourse. We believe the market is more positive-biased on the inflationary pressure as the US December 2022 payroll came in greater than expected, but the slowdown in wage growth could indicate that the Fed’s battle against inflation may have an impact. Commodities wise, the Brent crude oil is traded above USD78, while the CPO is priced above RM4,000.
Sector focus:. Given the China’s reopening of border is under the limelight; investors may focus on the tourism and leisure related sectors as well as the consumer sector with higher consumption activities amid the return of tourists. The technology sector may track the significant jump on Nasdaq.
The FBM KLCI booked marginal losses as the key index closed slightly above its daily EMA9 level. The technical indicators turned mixed as the MACD Histogram crossed slightly below zero, 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.

Subsequent to the divestment, Vincent Tan is left with a 25.3% stake in BCorp. The divestment seems to be part of a bid for the billionaire to pare down his shareholding in BCorp and pave the way for the group’s potential acquisition of a financial institution. The Berjaya group founder is aiming to reduce his shareholding to 19.6% to comply with the Financial Services Act 2013, should the acquisition materialise. (The Edge)
