Market Thoughts
US stocks ended lower on Friday as the outlook for additional fiscal stimulus remained uncertain. Meanwhile, European stocks closed lower amid stalling US fiscal stimulus and the deadlock over Brexit talks.
On the local front, the FBM KLCI soared 30.19 points or 1.82% to 1684.58 points on Friday following gains in banking stocks led by Public Bank. However, market breadth was negative with 626 gainers as compared to 690 losers. We expect profit taking activities to weigh on the local bourse today with our support level of 1615 points and resistance level of 1695 points.
Stocks to watch are: IHH Healthcare said it is ready to administer the coronavirus vaccine, once they are rolled out in the 10 countries it operates in. Its managing director and CEO Dr Kelvin Loh Chi-Keon said the company has a trained staff count of 55,000 across 80 hospitals it runs from Turkey to Singapore, as well as cold-storage facilities required to store the shots; JHM is acquiring a 5.59ha vacant leasehold land in Penang for RM27.06 million, cash, to expand its business into the manufacturing of telecommunication equipment; Ipmuda, which was slapped with an unusual market activity query by the bourse earlier, highlighted recent changes in its board of directors, substantial shareholders’ shareholdings, as well as contract wins in its response to stock exchange.
