Key Chinese economic data are in focus

FBM KLCI Outlook: Mild buying support pushed the index higher, with a projected range of 1,600–1,630.

Lower liners are expected to remain rangebound as investors await fresh catalysts. Amid global market volatility, funds may shift from small-cap stocks to blue-chip equities.

Chinese economic data

Key Chinese economic data (retail sales, unemployment rate, house price index, industrial production) are in focus.

Sector Focus:

Automotive: Expected to outperform, driven by aggressive year-end promotions. The MAA has revised the 2024 TIV forecast to 800,000 units, surpassing 2023’s record.

Gold-related Stocks: Despite recent declines, recovery is anticipated, supported by a likely Fed rate cut next week.

Technical Outlook

The FBM KLCI broke its five-day losing streak, reclaiming the SMA200 level, with positive indicators (MACD above Signal Line, RSI above 50).

Resistance: 1,625 | Support: 1,570.
