Bursa Malaysia Blue Chips Firm on 2014 1Q Window-Dressing

 

FBM KLCI Resistance at 1,840, Next at 1,860

BUY Axiata & Genting Bhd for Rebound

 

bursa malaysia Blue chips on Bursa Malaysia rose on Monday, copying regional strength after a weak factory survey  in  China  fueled  speculation  the  country  will adopt  stimulus  measures  to  boost  the economy. The KLCI rose 13.37 points to close near session highs at 1,833.85, off an early low of  1,821.03,  as  gainers  led  losers  428  to 370  on  active  trade  totaling  1.94bn  shares worth RM2.01bn.

Resistance at 1,840, Next at 1,860
While blue chips should stay buoyant on 1Q window-dressing activity, lower liners and small caps  are  likely  to  remain  in  consolidation  amid  slower  trading  momentum.  Immediate resistance for the index stays at the upper Bollinger band leveling at 1,840, while 1,860, the 123.6% Fibonacci Projection (FP), will be next stronger hurdle, followed by the all-time high of  1,882.  Immediate  support  remains  at  the  recent  low  of  1,802,  while  1,797,  the  38.2% Fibonacci Retracement (FR), and the 200-day moving average level at 1,795 provides crucial uptrend support.

BUY Axiata & Genting Bhd for Rebound
A  confirmed  breakout  on  Axiata  above  RM6.60  (61.8%FR),  matching  the  upper  Bollinger band, would boost upside momentum towards RM6.85 (76.4%FR), with RM7.00 and RM7.27 (6/5/13 peak) as tougher upside hurdles. Key retracement support is at RM6.39 (50%FR). A daily  stochastics  buy  signal  on  Genting  Bhd  should  support  an  oversold  rebound  towards
RM10.00  (76.4%FR),  with  RM10.20  and  RM10.40  (23/1/14  peak)  as  stronger  resistance. Key retracement support at RM9.57 (50%FR) mirrors 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…
