1 MARKET NEWS FBMKLCI CHART The FBMKLCI slid 5.88pt to close at 1, yesterday as the index managed to pare down earlier losses amid selective buying of index-linked counters while second and lower liners performed admirably despite cautious sentiments. Meanwhile, Asia s benchmark stock index extended its two-month low after better-than-expected US employment data bolstered the case for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates this year. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index slipped 0.4% to The FBMKLCI s top losers were KLCC Property & REITs (-4.11%), Kuala Lumpur Kepong (-3.38%) and Hong Leong Financial Group (-3.13%) while the top gainers were MISC (+1.35%), Axiata Group (+1.25%) and Public Bank (+0.54%) In the broader market, losers outpaced gainers 532 to 254 with 308 counters unchanged. Turnover was 1.24b shares valued at RM1.38b. The FBMKLCI extended its losses for days following uncertainties throughout the region. Based on daily chart, the index penetrated the immediate support level of 1,732 on yesterday s movement but managed to close higher at 1, Given the downtick in DMI which signals a growing selling momentum, we expect the index to again test the immediate support at 1,732. A rebound from this level could reverse the current weakness. Support and resistance levels are as follows: Support: 1,732, 1,706 Resistance: 1,776, 1,800 US markets declined on Monday, with the Dow industrials erasing year-to-date gains. The S&P 500 fell 0.7% to 2,079.28, while the DJIA retreated 0.5% to 17, Monday s slump comes after upbeat jobs data released Friday raised concerns that an interest-rate hike this autumn is a possibility. EBay Inc. shares fell 3.8% after the company projected 2016 sales would grow at a slower pace than expected following a planned split from PayPal.

During yesterday s movement, TEKS managed to penetrate the breakout level of RM0.555 with a higher trading volume that indicates strong buying momentum.

(Source: The Star) ECONOMICS Currency: Ringgit edges to 3.80, Bank Negara says weakness temporary. A sustained outflow of foreign funds from the equity and debt markets continued to pile pressure on the weakening ringgit as the local currency fell to a nine-year low against the US dollar. The ringgit declined 1.4% yesterday to versus the greenback. Bank Negara governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz said emerging market currencies, including the ringgit, continue to be affected by uncertainties in the external environment. For most emerging economies, the weakness in their currencies is inconsistent with the prevailing economic fundamentals and their economic growth prospects. In this environment, the ringgit is now trading at levels that are not reflective of the fundamentals of the Malaysian economy, she said. At the current value against the US dollar, the ringgit was trading at levels last seen during the Asian Financial Crisis when Malaysia was experienced a major recession. It was during that time that foreign exchange reserves were low, financial markets had plummeted, several financial institutions were in distress and the current account of the balance of payments was in deficit. None of these extreme conditions are prevailing today. Malaysia s current economic fundamentals are now markedly different, she said. (Source: The Star) w w w. u t r a d e. c o m. m y 5
