Cautious Sentiment: Gains on the local bourse were modest as recent volatility kept sentiment cautious. The FBM KLCI aims to hold above the 1,600 psychological level amid softer global market performance.
Lower trading activity is expected, especially in lower-liner stocks, while foreign funds may continue selling due to a stronger USD prompted by slower US Fed rate cuts.
Economic Focus: Investors are eyeing Malaysia’s inflation data and US Michigan Consumer Sentiment for market direction.
• Avoid: Oil & Gas (O&G) stocks due to oversupply concerns and a gloomy economic outlook.
• Plantation Sector: Expected to face selling pressure due to weak crude palm oil (CPO) prices.
• Technical Analysis: The FBM KLCI closed slightly above 1,600 with mixed signals:
• MACD Line above the Signal Line (bullish sign).
• RSI below 50 (bearish sign).
• Resistance: 1,625.
• Support: 1,570.
