KLSE - Rotational Play on Construction Stocks

klse-blog-small The local market staged a  rebound in line with regional markets helped by a rosy US Federal Reserve regional survey which point to spreading economic recovery.  The FBM KLCI rose from early low of 1,289.74 to peak at high of 1,294.94 prior to closing at 1,294.71 for a 5.2-point gain for the day, as gainers beat losers 575 to 230 on stronger volume totaling 1.76bn shares worth RM2.06bn.

Resistance at 1,300/1,305, Support at 1,287
The KLCI should stay congested below the 1,300 immediate resistance, with the 29 April 2008 pivot high of 1,305 as the next significant upside hurdle. Immediate retracement support will be at 1,287, with 1,280 and 1,274 providing stronger downside cushion.  On rotational plays, rubber glove stocks should pause for profit-taking breather after  recent dizzying rallies, while trading attention switch to construction stocks with focus in Sarawak’s SCORE and the water sector.

Sell on Rally Jaks Resources, KHSB & KPS
Be ready to sell on rally MRCB to revised upside target of RM1.80 to RM2.00, as technical momentum will be extremely overbought what with the current 14-day RSI reading already in the high 80’s.  Meanwhile, yesterday’s breakout rallies on water related stocks such as Jaks Resources, KHSB and KPS are ripe for profit-taking corrections given the strong percentage gains.  As such, we revise our call to Sell on Rally towards their adjusted upside targets.

Malaysia Inflation to start easing end-3Q or early 4Q2011

Malaysia Inflation Rose To The Fastest Pace.
Inflation is still a major concern and we expect the upward pressure to stay in 3Q2011 coming from food & non-alcoholic and clothing/footwear in  view of the festive seasons. Impact from June’s electricity tariff hike is expected to continue. But the  upward inflation pressure can be contained from stronger RM/USD and high base comparison. Nonetheless, we expect inflation to start easing by end 3Q2011 or early 4Q2011. Meanwhile, with global uncertainties flared by euro debt crisis and slower US economic recovery lingering, it has forced AxJ policymakers to focus on growth as opposed to inflation. Rates hikes could be reaching its tail end. We expect BNM to accommodate further erosion in real returns by holding OPR at 3.00% to focus on growth. But possibilities for another 25bps hike in OPR remains, as it depends on inflation outlook. Likewise SRR hike will depend on liquidity inflow. If that happen, we expect another 50bps to 100bp…

Trump’s Win – Bark Worse Than Bite?

Image
While Asian equity markets may remain soft after the surprise of Donald Trump’s win in the US presidential election, we look forward to buying opportunities. Essentially, we do not expect significant economic repercussions on Malaysia’s economy or corporate earnings, save for the indirect impact on downward biases for the ringgit vs the US dollar and on interest rates. We highlight the trough prices of our conviction picks, as well as some buying opportunities.

WHAT’S NEW
• Near-term confidence pricked. Asian equity markets have swooned on knee-jerk reactions to Trump’s surprise win; the FBMKLCI eased 1%. Despite the major turnaround in US equities after Trump’s acceptance speech which promoted national unity and stressed on fiscal stimulus (the DJI futures initially fell by as much as 800 pts before the cash DJI remarkably recovered to positive territory), investment sentiment in Asia may remain damp and to be swayed by Trump’s anti-globalisation rhetoric. Nevertheless, we do not …

FBM KLCI Technical Outlook

Image
Stocks on Bursa Malaysia snapped a three-day losing streak to end higher last Friday on bargain hunting in selected heavyweights, which saw late fund buying of Tanaga Nasional and Malayan Banking. Bargain hunting by institutional funds supported the local market but further gains were limited by fears of a better-than-expected US third-quarter gross domestic product data which will be out later of the day. Asian stock markets were mixed as they were still affected by a flurry of major corporate earnings reports across the region and the declining oil prices. The ringgit weakened further against the US dollar at 4.1970/1020 from the 4.1810/1900 recorded on Thursday, tracking the performance of emerging Asian currencies. At close, the FBM KLCI settled at 1,670.27, up 1.24 points or 0.07%, from Thursday’s close of 1,669.03, after opening 0.58 of a point higher at 1,669.61 and moved between 1,666.97 and 1,671.72 throughout the day. On a weekly basis, the benchmark index gained 0.29 of a p…
