Our Thoughts

Wall Street closed lower amid a choppy session as sentiment remains jittery ahead of the US presidential election today. Meanwhile, traders were also focused on the Federal Reserve’s purported rate cut on Thursday. As such, the US 10-year yield retreated to 4.287% after days of uptrend. Over in Hong Kong, the HSI managed to close positively largely buoyed by interests on EV stocks which recorded robust sales while waiting for more easing measures. On the home front, bargain hunting activities propped the FBM KLCI to above the 1,615 level predominantly led by renewed interests in Plantation stocks. As we had highlighted over the past 2 weeks, the strong CPO price will eventually place the planters back into the radar. We believe there are still legs for these stocks as the CPO futures are racing towards the RM5,000/tonne level. As we enter into the earnings season, we reckon sentiment should improve underpinned by the solid 15.4% earnings growth forecast for CY24 thus expect the index to chart within the 1,610- 1,620 range today.
