Malaysia:. The FBM KLCI (+0.1%) edged marginally higher but closed an inch away from the 1,500 level as the key index was lifted by gains in selected banking heavyweights yesterday. The lower liners also trended higher, while the energy sector (+1.4%) remain at the top spot amongst the mostly positive sectorial peers.
Global markets:. The US stockmarkets retreated as the Dow (-0.8%) halted a 6-day winning streak as investors turn cautious ahead of the US FOMC meeting as well as a slew of corporate earnings releases from Apple, Meta Platforms, Amazon and Alphabet. Both the European and Asia stockmarkets ended mostly weaker.
Despite the buying support within the banking heavyweights, the FBM KLCI continues to end marginally below the key 1,500 level. However, we noticed the FBM Small Cap index has been trending positively over the past weeks; supported by the broad market recovery after the reopening of China’s border theme. Nevertheless, global equities may endure a shaky week as investors turn cautious ahead of the FOMC meeting and a series of economic data in the US. Commodities wise, the Brent crude oil is hovering around USD84-85 zone, while the CPO was trading above RM3,900/MT.
Sector focus:. We expect the energy sector may continue to trend higher as crude oil price remains firm above USD80. Travelling related sectors may pick up as China's reopening continues to propel global air travel. On the other hand, the technology sector may face profit taking activities following a significant pullback in Nasdaq overnight.
The FBM KLCI stayed above its daily EMA9 but struggled to surpass the key 1,500 level. Technical indicators were mixed as the MACD Histogram crossed below zero, while the RSI is hovering above 50. The resistance is pegged along 1,525- 1,540, while the support is set at 1,450-1,460.
