Corporate earnings in the US expected to influence investor sentiment

The FBM KLCI is projected to trade between 1,470 and 1,490 today, with investors cautiously optimistic due to easing tariff concerns in the automotive sector following US President Trump’s recent moves.

Corporate earnings

However, uncertainty persists as the 90-day tariff pause nears its end, potentially sustaining market volatility. Corporate earnings in the US are expected to significantly influence investor sentiment in the coming weeks.

Sector Focus

Investors are advised to stay defensive, favoring stable sectors like REITs and Utilities for their dividend yields amid ongoing global policy uncertainties.

Technical Outlook

The FBM KLCI gapped up yesterday but technical indicators remain bearish, with the MACD below the signal line and RSI under 50, suggesting short-term consolidation. Resistance is at 1,500, with support around 1,420.
