Plantation Expected to remain resilient amid market volatility

The FBM KLCI is expected to stabilize today as foreign fund outflows ease and local institutional investors continue to provide support. Anticipated year-end window dressing activities may further bolster the market. Globally, investor attention is on the upcoming U.S. CPI data, which could shape the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision, while China’s announcement of additional stimulus measures for 2025 may inject positive sentiment into the local market.

Sector Highlights: Plantation

Plantation is expected to remain resilient amid market volatility, supported by steady crude palm oil (CPO) prices.

Consumer-related: May attract buying interest due to increased tourist arrivals fueled by China’s stimulus measures.

Gold-related counters: Likely to gain traction on higher gold prices, driven by strong Chinese purchases and the prospect of a Fed rate cut.

Technical Analysis: Local Bourse
