Malaysia:. The FBM KLCI (-0.3%) registered its third day losing streak, dragged down by the negative performance in more than half of the key index components yesterday. The lower liners, however, closed mixed, while the telecommunications & media sector (+0.7%) outperformed the mostly negative sectorial peers.
Global markets:. Wall Street rebounded as the Dow gained 0.5%, fuelled by gains in technology giants, while expectations over softer jobs data could potentially allow the US Federal Reserve to pause their monetary tightening stance in June 2023. The European stockmarkets also advanced, but Asia stockmarkets ended mixed.
The FBM KLCI remained under pressure amid persistent cautious sentiment without significant fresh catalyst. Nevertheless, following the passing of US debt ceiling bill and the subsequent rebound on Wall Street, bargain hunting activities may emerge on the local bourse. Still, cautiousness may prevail with the spotlight turning towards the release of US jobs data that may dictate the interest rate direction, Investors may prefer stocks with defensive characteristics towards the end of earnings season. Commodities wise, the Brent crude oil traded above USD74 per barrel, while the CPO price hovered just below RM3,300.
Sector focus:. The technology sector may gain momentum taking cue from the AIdriven technology stock rally on Wall Street overnight. Besides, the utilities and telecommunications sector could be under the limelight given their defensive characteristics.
The FBM KLCI dipped further in subdued trading, marking its third consecutive session of decline. Technical indicators remained negative as the MACD Histogram extended a negative bar, while the RSI hovered below 50. Next support is located at 1,370, while resistance is pegged along 1,400-1,440.
