Market update – 6 Oct 23

The FBM KLCI turned flat as the profit taking activities emerged in the first session of trading. Wall Street continues to trade lower overnight, affected by the US Treasury yield environment, while the market could be looking for possible clues in the upcoming Friday’s monthly jobs report to understand the Fed’s interest rate direction going forward. On the local front, we anticipate that the traders may focus on domestic catalysts such as NETR and NIMP for trading opportunities. Commodities wise, the Brent crude oil extended the selldown, closing below the USD85/bbl level due to weak demand for gasoline in the US even as production dropped, while the CPO prices headed lower towards RM3,600/MT level.

Sector focus: The investors may focus on fundamentally solid companies which have earnings growth over the past 2 quarters. Meanwhile, we like stocks that may benefit under the NETR and NIMP blueprints, while the traders may position for the upcoming Budget 2024; namely the renewable energy, construction, property and building materials. However, the Energy sector is likely to be pressured amid falling Brent oil prices. 

Stocks to watch:

Building material: MIKROMB, PWRWELL, WELLCAL
Financial: MNRB
Consumer: APOLLO
Renewables: SLVEST
Telco: TIMECOM
Construction: HSSEB
Others: AIRPORT, GLOTEC
