Sentiment lacklustre but market could rebound

Market sentiment remains subdued due to uncertainty surrounding Trump’s potential return to office next Monday. Despite strong earnings from major US banks, the FBM KLCI is expected to remain lackluster.

A rebound

However, a rebound could occur as bargain hunting in undervalued stocks gains traction.

• Key Watch: China’s Q4 2024 GDP and other major economic data being released today.

Sector Focus: Tech

The technology sector is favored due to the Trump administration’s likely pro-business stance on innovation, which could benefit tech companies. Export-oriented semiconductor players like INARI, UNISEM, and JFTECH stand to gain from stronger US ties.

Technical Outlook

• The FBM KLCI has declined for four consecutive sessions, falling further below the 1,600 psychological level.

• Indicators: MACD Line below Signal Line; RSI in the oversold range.

• Resistance: 1,600.

• Support: 1,530.
