Malaysia:. The FBM KLCI (-0.1%) ended slightly lower in tandem with the mostly negative regional markets as the key index fell -1.4% WoW. The lower liners, however, extended their recovery, while the energy sector (+3.1%) rallied after taking cue from the elevated oil prices as well as better earnings expectation.
Global markets:. Wall Street retreated as the Dow (-1.0%) fell on concerns over the persistent inflationary pressure after the personal consumption expenditure data (+1.8% MoM) unexpectedly accelerates. The European stockmarkets also ended lower, while Asia stockmarkets ended mostly in red.
The FBM KLCI logged marginal losses after hovering mostly in the negative territory, taking cue from the negative biased regional markets. Following a sharp selldown on Wall Street in the previous week, we reckon the regional markets and the local bourse may stay rocky while investors could be looking out for fresh catalysts. Meanwhile, we believe the downside risk could be limited following the revised Budget 2023 as investors may trade in sectors that will benefit from it. Commodities wise, the Brent crude oil price remained solid above USD83 per barrel, while the CPO traded above RM4,200.
Sector focus:. The consumer sector may benefit from the revised Budget 2023 that focuses on addressing high cost of living. Renewable energy sector may also benefit from the revised budget. Besides, the commodities related plantation and energy sectors may gain momentum amid firm crude oil and CPO commodities prices.
The FBM KLCI edged lower after recouping most of its intraday losses. Technical indicators remained negative as the MACD Histogram extended a negative bar, while the RSI hovered below the 50 level. Investors may monitor next support at 1,450, followed by 1,430 and the resistance at 1,500-1,510.
