Neutral tone ahead of festive break

The FBM KLCI settled lower in tandem with the regional peers as market sentiment was dampened by nationwide expansion of MCO. Taking cues from the negative Wall Street overnight performance, we expect lacklustre trade on the local bourse ahead of the Aidilfitri holiday. However, we believe bargain hunting activities may emerge within the energy sector as Brent oil price gained momentum due to the lingering fears of gasoline shortage as North America’s biggest petroleum pipeline was affected for days following the cyberattack.

Muted sentiment

The FBM KLCI retreated yesterday after a two-session gain as investors stayed cautious sidelines of the release of Malaysia's 1Q21 GDP data today as well as trading activities were softer on the holiday-shortened trading week. Tracking the weakness from the Wall Street overnight, we expect market sentiment to remain weak following the announcement regarding the expansion of MCO 3.0 to the whole country starting from Wednesday. Meanwhile, the CPO future price contracted after registering a hefty rally recently.

The FBM KLCI finished the Friday’s session on a positive note on the back of bargain hunting activities in glove and plantation heavyweights. However, market sentiment may remain cautious throughout the holiday-shortened trading week while focusing on Malaysia’s 1Q2021 GDP growth rate, which might still be weak on the back of Covid-19 affected environment. Nevertheless, traders may focus on commodities that are on a rising tone such as CPO, which has jumped more than 5.0% last week as well as Brent oil price that has a slight uptick as of this juncture.

Bargain hunting may emerge

The FBM KLCI tumbled over 2.2% as investment jitters mounted over US bond yields surge and political uncertainties on the local front; the healthcare sector took the biggest downfall on continued selling in glove counters. However, we think the FBM KLCI is steeply oversold, bargain hunting may emerge over the near term tracking Wall Street overnight gains on technology stocks. We believe the broader market may recover, but we expect the rebound to be short lived and traders may adopt selling into strength strategy. Meanwhile, the CPO price rose on solid exports data for March 2021.
