Daily Market Report (26 Dec 2019)
  • Most major stock markets will resume trading today after a rather Merry Christmas rally recently.
  • Wall Street closed flattish on a shortened trading Christmas eve and we expect the same today as many are still on holiday mood.
  • Nonetheless, we reckon window dressing activities on Bursa Malaysia to persist following a rather hefty profit taking before the Christmas break.
  • Therefore, we expect some accumulation on stocks and see the FBM KLCI to retest the 1,605 thereafter to touch the 1,610 again.

  • Waiting to take the cue from Wall Street, we expect regional markets to trend higher today following another solid closing over in the US.
  • With commodities like Gold and crude oil also ended the session firmer, we reckon monies will find their way into Asian equities.
  • We remain adamant that window dressing on the local bourse still exist and believe the FBM KLCI to surpass the 1,610 level today.
Daily Market Report (30 Dec 2019)
  • With Wall Street remaining at solid footing, we believe more funds would be channelled into equities as window dressing activities were rather prevalent last week regionally.
  • As such, we reckon accumulation of stocks to persist namely in Malaysia as the local stock market has been the worst performer within the region for 2019 thus far down by 4.7%.
  • Hence, we envisage the FBM KLCI to maintain its upward momentum towards the 1,620 mark before closing for the year.

  • Meanwhile the MYR is also performing rather well currently at 4.10 against the USD from around 4.18 only a month ago.
