Market Pulse - Prelude To A Relief Rally

Overall, the sentiment has improved across the regional markets, which has helped the FBM KLCI to rebound from its 52-week low.

We believe most of the sectors that have been bashed down earlier should gain traction at least for the near term. Nevertheless, investors are still weighing on the risk of recession arising from global inflation, hence traders may adopt a sell into strength strategy.
