FBM KLCI : Sell On Rally CIMB, Maybank, Telekom

Local stocks extended gains a fifth day on Thursday in line with regional markets which climbed on higher technology earnings and as concerns over the Euro-zone debt crisis eased.  The FBM KLCI added another 2.82 points to close at 1,346.92, off an early low of 1,344.27 and high of 1,348.09 on improving market breadth as gainers led losers 396 to 253 on better trade totaling 905.8mn shares worth RM1.04bn.

Break Above 1,349 to Test 1,354, Next Hurdle at 1,380
The better-than-expected 1Q GDP numbers and OPR rate hike by Bank Negara should provide a lift to banks and hence the KLCI, but the substantially higher-than-anticipated near RM1bn provisions by Sime Darby could cap gains today.  Immediate resistance is retained at 1,349, the 4 May pivot high, with a breakout to test 1,354, the 76.4%FR of the 1,525 to 801 sell-down, and next upside hurdle at 1,380.  Immediate support remained at 1,337, matching the 30-day moving average, then 1,330 and next at 1,320, representing the 23.6%FR and 50%FR of the rise from 1,224 low of 9 February and 1,292 low of 22 March to the 26-month high of 1,349.9 last week.

 

Sell on Rally CIMB, Maybank & TM
Note that blue chips such as CIMB, Maybank and TM are breaking out of recent sideways congestion trade with share  price closing just above the upper Bollinger bands, signaling bullish breakout potential.  However, we are revising our call to Sell on Rally since technical momentum will become overbought at the later stage of a breakout, such as the 14-day RSI approaching 80 and higher, hence investors should look forward to take profit or sell on rally toward higher 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…
