Wall Street closed lower following a choppy session as sentiment was impacted by disappointing earnings from Alphabet amid increasing US yields. As such, the DJI Average declined by 105 points while the Nasdaq slumped by 319 points as the US 10-year yield rebounded to 4.961%. In Hong Kong, the HSI added 94 points to close above the 17,000 mark after China unveiled for massive infrastructure spending in a bid to boost the country’s stuttering economy. On the home front, the FBM KLCI rebounded from broad based bargain hunting activities partly also due to stronger regional performances. Nonetheless, we believe sentiment to remain cautious as we head towards heightening volatility environment mainly from the US thus expect the index to stay disciplined and hover within the 1,440-1,450 range today. Yesterday’s decline amongst the construction players may present some buying opportunities today.
