Malaysia:. The FBM KLCI (-0.1%) ticked lower as the key index recorded its fourth day losing streak, dragged down by Petronas-related and telco heavyweights. The lower liners also edged lower, while the utilities (+0.8%), financial services (+0.7%) and property (+0.3%) sectors outperformed the negative sectorial peers.
Global markets:. Wall Street rebounded as the Dow (+0.2%) managed to hold onto its intraday gains, driven by optimism expectations over earnings growth that offset the mixed bag of economic data. The European stockmarkets also advanced, but Asia stockmarkets ended mostly negative.
The FBM KLCI inched lower after hovering mostly in the red, with selling pressure seen in other sectors outweighing gains in the banking heavyweights. The rebound attempt on Wall Street overnight may trigger the regional markets to recover some grounds. Meanwhile, investors are awaiting the consumer confidence data and Chicago PMI to gauge the US Fed’s tone in interest rate direction. We reckon cautious sentiment will prevail on the local front with foreign investors turning net sellers, but bargain hunting may be noticed. Commodities wise, the Brent crude oil price hovered above USD82 per barrel mark, while the CPO traded above RM4,220.
Sector focus:. Investors may see some bargain hunting activities emerging in the technology sector following a Nasdaq-led rebound on Wall Street. Besides, investors may continue to focus on the energy sector in view of the firm crude oil price hovering above USD82.
The FBM KLCI marked fourth-session losses but managed to closed above its immediate support at 1,450. Technical indicators remained negative as the MACD Histogram extended a negative bar, while the RSI is hovering below 50. Should the key index break below 1,450, next support is located at 1,430, resistance is envisaged at 1,500-1,510.
