Market Pulse - 11Aug22 - Relief Rebound May Take Place

The FBM KLCI slipped as investors dumped selected glove, technology, and banking stocks prior to the released of the US CPI data. With the CPI numbers came in below the consensus figure, we believe the positive sentiment from Wall Street may spillover to the local front, especially within the technology sector. Investors should expect a lower scale of interest rate hikes moving forward from the Feds. Hence, it provides a decent window of opportunity to at least trade until the next CPI which will be in 13th September.
