As of ystd epf still holds 15.04 % pbb.

Every 20 trading days disposal at 10M shares per disposal will drop 1% shareholding of epf in pbb.

@Chu Ya, just saw it. What happened?

My guess is 8.60 prior to ex-date.

Can't believe even ammb is up near 4%!!

Epf will stop selling one day. Epf can't sell forever. Pbb will fly when that happens.

Look at it now, steady despite continuous sell down by epf in the past 42 trading days!!! No other counter can compare to pbb.

Expect no opr cut tomorrow. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 形势好转 专家改口　国行周四料不降息--------------------------
（吉隆坡3日讯）随著我国新冠肺炎确诊病例见顶回落、疫苗接种计划开跑、近期经济数据表现乐观，加上政府逐渐放宽限制及提供针对性援助，经济学家普遍认为，国行周四（4日）降息的可能性已经减低。

《彭博社》经济学家亨得森指出，1月的货币政策会议之后，情况正逐步好转，疫情缓和之馀，疫苗接种计划也已经展开，政府正逐步开放封锁措施。此外，油价走高，外围情况逐渐明朗，包括大马主要贸易伙伴中国的经济回稳，各国也积极展开疫苗接种。

这种种的有利因素显示，今年首季经济疲弱的走势将会是短暂的，因此国行在周四的货币政策会议后，相信会继续按兵不动。

汇丰银行（HSBC）经济学家佐瑟英卡尔卡德拉也改变之前认为国行将在3月的会议中会降息的看法。他表示，大马最近一波疫情导致政府再度实施行管令（MCO），而我国也因此成为亚洲区域中居民流动性最低的国家。

佐瑟预计，我国私人消费将大幅收窄，因此将大马今年国内生产总值（GDP）预测从早前的6.7%，下调至5.2%。

虽然该银行的最新预测低于政府预测的6.5%至7.5%成长，但佐瑟预期，政府可能在近期内调整经济成长预测。值得一提的是，国家银行将在本月底发布其2020年年报，这通常是政府调整官方预测的时间点之一。

“考虑到目前行管令导致大马经济每日损失3亿令吉，低于去年首轮的每日损失24亿令吉，政府的经济成长预测下修幅度或不会太显著。”

商品涨势支撑经济

此外，政府也一再强调，由于电子产品出口和工业生产持续回升，我国制造业氛围乐观。而半导体领域的产能也逐渐增加，在全球汽车晶片市场占有更显著的份额。

另外，天然气和棕油等大宗商品价格近期上涨有助支撑经济成长，我国1月贷款增长也从12月的3.4%，走高至3.8%，显示银行体系稳健。

佐瑟强调，石油和天然气价格走高，增强我国的财政状况，让政府在推出援助政策方面有更多的灵活性，而政府也重新分配2021年的支出，以针对最新一轮的封锁，为受冲击的领域提供援助。

“原油价格预测料上调至每桶45美元至55美元之间，再加上近几个月的企业税收高于预期，让政府可略微上调支出。”

汇丰银行早前预测，国行会在3月4日的货币政策会议上将隔夜政策利率（OPR）下调25个基点。但考虑到近期肺炎确诊病例逐渐减少、政府逐步放宽限制措施、疫苗接种计划比预期中早开始、近期经济数据表现乐观，加上政府所提供的针对性援助措施，佐瑟认为国行降息的可能性已减低。

隔夜政策利率今年料企稳1.75%

佐瑟预测今年的隔夜政策利率将维持在1.75%。

他也强调，虽然封锁措施对经济成长造成冲击，但国行周四下调利率的机会不大。

“但若情况比预期更坏，国行会是区域中为数不多，仍有余力进一步提供货币政策救援的央行之一。”

国行在去年曾4度降息，将隔夜政策利率下调至1.75%，为2004年以来的最低水平。

而国行总裁拿督诺珊希雅在2月公布去年末季GDP数据时指出，国行在去年降息125个基点，足以扶持经济成长，货币政策委员会也认为将利率维持在1.75%，是相对适当且宽松的水平。

Buy fast. Inter-state travel will be opened after mid-March (insider said 19th) . You have 15 days.

Unconditional withdrawal from i-Sinar may force epf to sell more.

Thanks @Sharefisher. In a day or two we will know if epf will keep to the minimum 15% in pbb.

Perhaps EPF would not be bothered with less than 15% shareholding of pbb? They need the money.

Otherwise they would have stopped selling by now.

EPF held 16.38% of pbb on 30/9/2020. - - - - - - - - - - - - - There were more disposal and minimal acquisition before end 2020. But only disposal when 2021 began.

After 2 months of continuous dumping in 2021, do you think it still holds 15% now?

Ex date for the dividend is when? Not yet announced?

I think the money hasn't started to move over to the banks. Perhaps it will after another 1 to 2 months. It is actually a very low price to buy banks now. Pbb should move up very quickly once epf stops selling.

I still believe pbb will be RM5 by end 2021.

Yea, tested in the past 42 days, pbb support has been overwhelmingly strong despite continuous sell down by epf.

Market sentiment is in the red today too.

Ya, epf will stop one day. Let them sell sampai puas puas.

Yea, klse has been cursed since then. It will get better after May.

It will drop a few days. Today's just the start. Of course the dip % will be lower tomorrow onwards.

Aim RM2. 30.

Buy buy buy. After tomorrow it will go back up to 0.70.

Correction is needed for the next uptrend.

Sell ammb buy pbb mbb... No more worries sleep well at night. Ex date for dividends next week for pbb mbb. Buy fast!

Buy today before it is too late. It will shoot up tomorrow after announcement of no opr cut by bnm. Next week it will move up further before ex-date on dividend.

Hope ammb sell down tomorrow move to pbb. At least they get the pbb dividend this month.
