KLCI - Buy MRCB and JAKS On Rebound

malaysia-bursa-klcc Expect Rebound on Overnight US Strength Stocks fell on Wednesday, dragged down by heavy regional losses on concern credit-rating downgrades of Greece and Portugal will dampen the global economic recovery, but ended off early lows on bargain hunting interest.  The FBM KLCI rose from an early low of 1,324.34 to settle at 1,333.17 to lose 6.55 points or 0.5% for the day, off a high of 1,335.95, on less negative breadth as losers beat gainers 472 to 236 on slower trade of 831.1mn shares worth RM1.12bn.

Immediate Resistance at 1,340, Then 1,344/1,347

As we had expected, limited foreign participation cushioned downside and hence the local market fell less than regional peers yesterday, with the 1,320 support never in danger of being challenged at the low point of the day. While the overnight rebound on Wall Street should see buyers coming back to support a rebound today, expect immediate resistance at recent high of 1,340, and higher hurdles at 1,344, the previous two week’s high, and then 1,347, the 7 April pivot high.

BUY MRCB & Jaks Resources for Rebound
Most blue chips should stage a mild rebound today as buying momentum turned more cautious given the recent correction on foreign markets, but rotational plays should return to highlight lower liners again.  Stocks on focus today are MRCB and Jaks Resources, which should rebound from recent losses given the low readings on technical momentum indicators, and share price cushioned by support from the lower Bollinger band.

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…
