Wall Street closed broadly higher attributed to a robust monthly job data which exceeded expectations plus the ending of the US dockworkers strike. As such, the DJIA jumped 314 points while the Nasdaq added 219 points as the US 10-year yield edging higher at 3.969%. Over in Hong Kong, buyers returned with a vengeance as the HSI surged closer to the 22,800 level. Traders flocked into Hong Kong stocks as valuations remain below their historical averages. Back home, the FBM KLCI closed weaker to end below the 1,630 level due to persistent selling from the foreign funds. As the index has lost 25 points over the past 5 days, a quick rebound is needed before we enter into another prolong consolidation phase. Therefore, we expect the index to trend within the 1,630-1,640 range today. Meanwhile, we noticed that the CPO price maintained its uptrend to hover above RM4,200/tonne spur by the higher crude oil prices amid the tension in the middle east and partly due to the lower MYR currently at RM4.23 vs the greenback.
