Sentiment – Cautious

As a result, the DJIA ended lower by 31 points while the Nasdaq added 51 points with the US 10-year yield inching marginally higher at 4.279%. Over in Hong Kong, the HSI ended in negative territory despite a strong opening on concerns over the escalation of trade war between China and the EU. Back home, we expect buyers to emerge after a spate of late selling last Friday.

Nonetheless, we believe sentiment may remain cautious following a weak regional performance yesterday thus anticipate the FBM KLCI to trend within the 1,610-1,620 range today.
