  • A more dovish statement by Trump on the trade war with China had sent positivity on Wall Street thus we may witness regional markets to trend higher today.
  • Locally the equity market is expected to see some bargain hunting activities with the FBM KLCI to test the immediate resistance at 1,620.
  • Malaysia being the worst performer on both currency and equity within the region is not expected to see any immediate reversal in fortune but we expect foreign direct investment (FDIs) especially from China will lent support on the stock market and currency in due course.

  • The tit for tat developments between the US and China on trade tariffs continue to be the main focus for global equity markets which is not going to end anytime soon. As such we may see continue market volatility with more downward bias.
  • Domestically, the FBM KLCI is supported at the psychological 1,600 level with the next support is seen at the 1,570 mark. Meanwhile, there is a likelihood that China may abandon the import of soya oil and look to crude palm oil (CPO) as the alternative thus providing certain support for the CPO prices in the short term.
