Market Sentiment: Weak, driven by renewed US-China trade tensions following Trump’s tariffs. China’s retaliatory tariffs, along with planned countermeasures from Canada and Mexico, have heightened concerns over inflation and global economic slowdown, contributing to market volatility.
Investors advised
Sector Focus: Investors are advised to adopt a defensive stance. Safe-haven assets like gold may see increased interest, while companies benefiting from global supply chain shifts and export-oriented firms could gain from a stronger US dollar.
Technical Outlook
The FBM KLCI extended losses, drifting further from the SMA50. Indicators remain bearish, with the MACD below the Signal Line and RSI under 50. Key resistance stands at 1,600, while support is seen at 1,550.
