1 MARKET NEWS FBMKLCI CHART The FBMKLCI lost 15.22pt (-0.8%) to close at 1, yesterday on a lack of fresh local leads and weak regional markets. Meanwhile, Asian stocks fell the most in more than a month as US jobs data fuelled bets that the Federal Reserve will be raising interest rates sooner than expected. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index slipped 0.9% to The FBMKLCI s top losers were Skpetro (-4.2%), GENM (-3.6%) and Petdag (- 2.1%) while the top gainers were KLCC (+1.3%), FGV (+0.5%) and Axiata (+0.4%). In the broader market, losers outpaced gainers 544 to 273 with 292 counters unchanged. Turnover was 2.14b shares valued at RM1.87b. The FBMKLCI continued its pullback yesterday. Based on the chart, the FBMKLCI penetrated the lower uptrend channel line and closed below the psychological level of 1,800. The correction looks set to continue as selling pressure has risen, as reflected in the negative reading of the RSI. This is supported by the DMI which is making a bearish crossover. Weaker regional sentiment and an absence of domestic catalysts may drag the index lower in the near term. If current sentiment persists, the FBMKLCI may test the support level at 1,770 shortly. The support and resistance levels are as follows: Support: 1,780, 1,770 Resistance: 1,830, 1,845 US markets rallied as bargain hunters took positions after the recent decline. The S&P 500 rose 0.4% to 2,079.43, while the DJIA ended 0.8% higher at 17, Apple advanced 0.4% as the company unveiled its much-anticipated Apple Watch device as well as a new, thinner MacBook notebook computer. Macerich jumped 7% after Simon Property Group said it sent a proposal to buy the real-estate investment trust in a deal valued at US$22.4b, including US$6.4b in debt.

2 TRADERS CORNER Oceancash Pacific (OCP MK) Technical BUY on breakout with +27.5% Last price : RM0.325 Target price : RM0.39, RM0.44 Support : RM0.28 Stop loss : RM0.275 RM0.44 and stop loss at below RM A successful rebound from the major support of RM0.28 has sent the stock higher. Yesterday s gap up above the BBI line has kicked started a new up-leg. Given higher trading volumes and the positive readings from both the MACD and the DMI, we expect an upward continuation from here, thus pegging our upside targets at RM0.39 and RM0.44 respectively. Expected Timeframe: 2 weeks to 2 months BHS Industries (BHSI MK) Technical BUY on breakout with +19.1% Last price : RM0.665 Target price : RM0.785, RM0.84 Support : RM0.625 Stop loss : RM0.62 RM0.84 and stop loss at below RM0.62. After the earlier correction, share price has rebounded and rose above the BBI line, which implies the recent correction has ended. A positive closing above the BBI line yesterday was accompanied by a bullish crossover in the DMI, which indicates buying momentum has overcome selling momentum. As such, we expect the upward move to be sustainable once the stock penetrates the breakout level of RM Thus, we peg our upside targets at RM0.785 and RM Expected Timeframe: 2 weeks to 3 months w w w. u t r a d e. c o m. m y 2
