FBM KLCI Weekly Technical Analysis 2304

World markets may reverse downwards soon
  FBM KLCI – Within the second Rising Wedge. A breakdown is imminent.
  CPO Futures – Stalled at MYR3,628. Correction phase emerging.
  DJIA – Key peak sighted at 13,297.11. Sell on rallies.
  MRCB – Take Profit on this stock.

 

Support: 1,540 to 1,586 Resistance: 1,591 to 1,609

Strategy: The FBM KLCI lost 11.27 points to close at the week’s low of 1,591.85 last Friday. The local  market  moved  unconvincingly  throughout  the  whole  week.  Volume  shrank  from 2.14b  to 1.05b  shares  last  week.  There  was  also  some  apparent  penny  stock  churning  activity. The weaker  support  areas  for  the  FBM  KLCI  are  in  the  1,540  to  1,586  zone.  The  next resistance levels of 1,591 and 1,609 may see heavy liquidation activities. 

 

fbm klci weekly technical analysis above: FBM KLCI Weekly Chart

The FBM KLCI consolidated in a tight range of 801 to 936 from October 2008 to April 2009, but broke above its resistance level of 936.63 (Wave a/B) in April 2009 and surged to a previous all-time high of 1,597.08 on 11 July 2011. Its intermediate Wave b/B low was 836.51. We are tracing
out a Wave c/B (of the Flat 3-3-5 variety) rebound phase) currently. A temporary low was formed at  1,310.53 (Wave  IV/B).  A temporary  rebound  extended  wave  (Wave  V/B) is underway  and is
taking the shape of a Rising Wedge pattern (as shown on the chart above). We have revised our
Wave Count of an extended Wave IV/B correction to 1,310.53, and the current wave  is an extended Fifth Wave (that  stalled at 1,609.33) of the major Flat C/B-leg correction from the 801.27 low. Trade cautiously, as the index has peaked with ample bearish divergent signals. The global volatility could affect the grossly overbought local market too. An imminent Rising Wedge breakdown may happen soon. 

Some  stocks  we  like  are:  AEONCR,  BONIA,  CARLSBG,  CBIP,  JTIASA,  OLDTOWN, SAPCRES, SUBUR, UTDPLT, and YHS. Some stocks that we advocate a “SELL” are: BURSA, CIMB, GENM, GENTING, MISC, MRCB, PCHEM, RHBCAP, SUNWAY, UEMLAND and WCT.

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…
