KLCI : Buy On Dip AVENTA n SUPERMAX for Rebound

Early Sell-Off to 1,309/1,300 Likely Before Market Stabilize
The overnight tumble on Wall Street, with the Dow Jones average plunging almost 1,000 points at one point before bouncing back, should spillover and spark losses in the region and locally as global markets undergo renewed downside volatility amid jittery sentiment.  Immediate support is seen at 1,320, the 50% retracement of the 12-day rally from 1,292 low of 22 March to the 7 April peak of 1,347, matching the 50-day moving average, but an early sell-off to better supports at 1,309 to 1,300 is likely before stocks stabilize.  Immediate resistance will be at 1,341, the upper range of the gap-down, next at Tuesday’s high of 1,349, with stronger hurdles at 1,354 and 1,360.

 

Buy on Dip Adventa & Supermax for Rebound
Nonetheless, investors are alerted to bargain blue chips which are trading below their lower Bollinger bands on any further sharp dips, specifically Gamuda, Genting Malaysia, IOI Corp, Public Bank and Sime Darby for technical rebound gains.  Most lower liners we track are also trading below their lower Bollinger bands, and hence are ripe to buy on sharp dips for technical rebound upside. Stocks on focus today are Adventa and Supermax, which are better buys on dip towards their revised immediate supports of RM3.10 and RM6.10 to maximize rebound profits.

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…
