Our Thoughts

Wall Street ended with sharp losses as renewed worries about the state of the US economy were triggered by disappointing reports on home sales and consumer confidence. The DJI Average declined by 388 points, and the Nasdaq fell by 207 points. In Hong Kong, the HSI dipped 262 points on concerns over China’s property woes and fears of a slowdown in the world’s second- largest economy. At home, the FBM KLCI added 2 points due to bargain hunting activities. Given the underwhelming showing of Wall Street in the last session, we foresee investors being more cautious in their actions. The Brent Cride futures remained elevated at above US$92 per barrel, we expect the O&G stocks should attract more attention. Given the circumstances, we expect sentiment on the local exchange to become somewhat cautious, which leads us to project the index will hover around the 1,440-1,450 range today.
