Wall Street tumbled as sentiment remains stressed amid the ongoing negotiations on the US debt ceiling with no signs of an agreement soon. As such, the DJI Average declined by 256 points while the Nasdaq fell 77 points as the US 10-year yield jumped to a 3-month high at 3.744%. In Hong Kong, the HSI lost 315 points to a 2-month low as traders remain spooked by the US debt ceiling impasse coupled with the weak Chinese markets. Headwinds on tech stocks further pressured the broader sector, in particular news of Alibaba laying off 7% of its work force. On the domestic front, the FBM KLCI remained stuck within a narrow trading range before ending below the 1,410 level in the absence of fresh catalysts. Nonetheless, we are hopeful that bargain hunting activities to emerge, especially on the Banks as we expect earnings from the Banks over the next few days to remain decent. Despite the prevailing weak market undertone, we anticipate the index to possibly trend within the 1,410- 1420 range today.
