KLSE KLCI : Sell on RHBCap, Tenaga Rally

2358-48-20090418114532 The neutralization of daily momentum indicators for KLCI from their overbought positions following last week's profit-taking correction, together with an imminent weekly MACD buy signal should pave the way for further upside in the weeks ahead.  Moreover, persistent strength in global markets due to more signs the global economic recovery will be sustainable given the higher-than-expected retail sales numbers last week in the US and Japan would spillover to the local stock market.

As such, the index should be able to scale higher and re-challenge the recent high of 1,347 and test 1,354, which represent the 76.4%FR of the tumble from 1,525 all-time high to the 801 low.  A decisive breakout above this level will target 1,380 next, and then 1,392, which mirror the 24 July 2007 pivot high. On the downside, immediate support cushion is retained to 1,319, which represent the 50% correction of the 12-day rally from 1,292 low of 22 March to the 7 April peak of 1,347. The next stronger support platform is at 1,309, followed by the 1,300
psychological level.

As for stock picks, we like Genting Bhd and IOI Corp which are likely to appreciate further after recent weakness, but look to sell on rally RHB Capital and Tenaga at revised higher upside targets given their increasingly overbought technical conditions.  On the lower liner space, expect rotational plays to remain robust, with stocks such as Kinsteel, MRCB, UEM Land, Dialog, Kencana, SapuraCrest, Jaks Resources, Leader Universal and Land & General likely to attract stronger investor participation.

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…
