KLCIoutlook
Heading towards stiff 1674-1689 zones
- Today, Bursa Malaysia is expected to stage another followthrough rebound amid rallies in overnight US and European markets coupled with stabilizing SHCOMP. However, profittaking interest should increase on further near-term gains towards our envisaged 1674 (23.6% FR) and 1687 (200-d SMA) zones given the choppy trading environment amid external market uncertainties, weighed down by still choppy oil prices and potential retreat in USDMYR.
- Near term supports are 1650 (50-d SMA), 1642 (38.2% FR) and 1622 (15 Dec low). Technically, KLCI is still likely to trap in a triangle consolidation unless staging a decisive rebound above the 200-d SMA resistance levels.
- Stock on radar (FIG3): We recommend Momentum idea, KOMARK (manufacturing of self-adhesive labels and stickers and trading of related products) as share prices are likely to head towards RM0.68-0.745 in the medium to long term, given the bottoming up indicators. Key supports are RM0.615-0.625. Cut loss at RM0.595.
