Malaysia:. The FBM KLCI closed relatively unchanged on the lack of fresh leads following the national holidays in Hong Kong and China. The lower liners ended mixed, while the healthcare sector (+1.2%) outperformed the mixed sectorial peers following a deadly infection spread through tick bites in several parts of UK.
Global markets:. Wall Street ended mixed as the Dow gained 0.2%, but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq shed 0.3% and 1.1% respectively on concerns over the rise of recessionary risk, while the 10-year treasury yields fell to the lowest level since September 2022. Both the European and Asia stockmarkets closed mixed.
The FBM KLCI turned sideways and profit taking activities emerged with the negative performance on Wall Street overnight. With further selling pressure seen on the technology sector in the US as the market could be pricing in a recession scenario as the 10-year treasury yield dip further, coupled with the private payrolls that came in below expectations, we believe the selling activities may spillover to stocks on the local front; specifically on the technology stocks. Commodities wise, the Brent crude oil continues to trade around USD84, while the CPO traded slightly below RM3,900. Gold, the safe haven asset is located above the USD2,000 level.
Sector focus:. With the Nasdaq falling more than 1%, it may exert pressure on the technology sector for the session. Meanwhile, we believe investors may lookout for gold related stocks in view of the firm gold price. Also, we expect traders to position themselves within defensive sectors such as the REITs, utilities and consumer sectors.
The FBM KLCI maintained its position above the daily EMA20 zone. Meanwhile, both the MACD (MACD Histogram above zero) and RSI (above 50) are suggesting that the momentum is still positive. The resistance is located around 1,440-1,450. Support is located around 1,400-1,410.
