MARKET DATELINE

Market Technical Reading


Lukewarm Trading Sentiment To Prevail...

Chart 1: FBM KLCI Daily Chart 2: FBM KLCI Intraday

Local Market Leads:

♦ Share prices in Bursa Malaysia closed marginally positive despite poor regional market performance on Friday
following an overnight fall in Wall Street.

♦ The benchmark FBM KLCI inched up 0.58 pts or 0.04% to 1,326.45 on Friday. However, discounting the last
minute push-up on selective core heavyweights, the index was wondering aimlessly throughout the day in the
negative territory.

♦ With the absence of interesting trading leads, investors preferred to stay sideline ahead of the weekend.

♦ On the regional markets, Nikkei 225 fell 1.92% and HSI lost 0.21%, while neighbouring FTSTI ended similarly
with Bursa Malaysia, with a marginal gain of 0.04%.

♦ Overall turnover tumbled again to 568m shares from Thursday’s 749m shares. Market breadth stayed negative
with 370 losers against 251 gainers.

Technical Interpretations:

♦ Although the FBM KLCI opened lower on Friday, it managed to close with a small positive candle on the chart.

♦ Added with a fresh cut of the 10-day SMA to above the 40-day SMA near 1,312, the FBM KLCI may attract some
bargain-hunting activities in the short term.

♦ However, in view of the poor momentum readings, and with the poor market turnover of late, its upside potential
is likely to be limited, in our opinion.

♦ As such, the downside risk remains high, as the index could fall again to revisit the 10-day and 40-day SMAs near
1,316 and 1,310, should the selling resume. A crucial support is at the psychological level at 1,300.

Daily Trading Strategy:

♦ Technically, although the FBM KLCI managed to record a positive candle on Friday and it suggests a possible
quick technical rebound today, we are keeping our cautious view on the market, due mainly to the poor
momentum readings and the pathetic trading volume in recent sessions.

♦ Any fresh selling momentum in the early part of this week will threaten the supportive 10-day and 40-day SMAs
near 1,316 and 1,310.

♦ That, if it happens, will put pressure on the key psychological support at 1,300, for it is a support that uphold the
short- to medium-term trading sentiment. Losing 1,300 will refresh the bearish sentiment on the market.

♦ Due to the lack of interesting trading leads regionally, investors are not expected to make any aggressive move
in the near term.

♦ As a result, we see the lukewarm trading sentiment to prevail this week.

Chart 3: FKLI Daily Chart 4: FKLI Intraday

Technical Interpretations:

♦ The local futures market opened Friday’s trading with a dip, but steady bargain-hunting support lifted the futures
index higher towards the close.

♦ The FKLI for Jun contract ended 3.5 pts or 0.26% higher to 1,325.0, and recorded a positive candle on the chart.

♦ Chart wise, the FKLI has covered the technical gap created on last Monday, as it rebounded from the 10-day SMA
1,319.

♦ Potentially, the upward momentum may return on the back of the support level at the 10-day SMA.

♦ However, given the poor momentum readings on the indicators, upside, if any, would be limited, in our view.

♦ To regenerate the bullish sentiment, it must first remove the recent high of 1,342, before it can remove May’s
high of 1,352.5.

♦ On the other hand, should buying fail to return strongly, a further fall will lose the 10-day SMA and threaten the
40-day SMA of 1,309, and the psychological level of 1,300.

♦ Lower support is at 1,270, followed by May’s low of 1,240.5.

Daily Trading Strategy:

♦ The immediate-term outlook for the FKLI remains uncertain.

♦ Traders should remain cautious on the possibility of a return of selling momentum. Upside potential is expected to
be limited due to the poor short-term momentum readings.

♦ For today, we expect the futures index to trend within 1,310 to 1,328.

Chart 5: US Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) Daily Chart 6: US Nasdaq Composite Daily

US Market Leads:

♦ US markets closed flat on Friday, ending the week with a marginally positive closing on Friday on its three major
indices, DJIA, Nasdaq and S&P 500.

♦ Earlier, investors stormed into financial stocks, as lawmakers in the House and Senate finalised negotiations on
the major reform bill for the financial industry proved to be less restrictive than earlier thought.

♦ However, as the session wore on, gains spread out as the markets turned mixed after it was announced that the
1Q GDP grew at a slower pace at 2.7% annualised rate versus the previously reported 3%. Wall Street had
expected a hold at 3%.

♦ Meanwhile, the University of Michigan’s final consumer sentiment index for Jun was revised up to 76 from 75.5,
as compared to the economists’ forecast of a flat figure.

♦ The US light sweet crude oil futures for August delivery rose US$2.11 to US$78.62/barrel in the Nymex.

Technical Interpretations:

Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA)

♦ The US DJIA recorded a “doji” candle, indicating indecisiveness on its next move, after closing marginally to
below the 10,150 critical support level on Friday.

♦ But, the index finished at below the supportive 21-day SMA of 10,196. A close at below the 21-day SMA generally
suggests a negative trend ahead.

♦ Technically, with a “doji” candle, it holds a very slim chance for a technical rebound. If the buyers fail to return
soon, it will head towards the psychological level at 10,000.

♦ That, if it occurs, will threaten a steeper fall towards the 9,200 – 9,700 lower support region.

Nasdaq Composite (Nasdaq)

♦ The Nasdaq Composite index ended last Friday at 2,223.48, added 6.06 pts or 0.27%, but registered a “doji”
candle on the chart.

♦ This candlestick pattern, added with a fall to below the 21-day SMA, is pointing to a negative trend ahead.

♦ If it fails to launch any technical rebound this week, it may lose the 2,190 key support level soon.

♦ Next key support is only seen at 2,000 and 2,100.

Daily Technical Watch:


Chart 7: BJCorp Daily Chart 8: BJCorp Intraday

Berjaya Corporation (3395)

Losing RM1.33 will confirm an uptrend derailment…

♦ Since late Mar 2009, the share price of BjCorp has been trending along the Uptrend Line (UTL).

♦ After surviving at above the UTL for the second time in early Feb 2010, the stock launched a powerful rally from
the UTL near RM1.20 – RM1.33 level to a high of RM1.87 in Apr 2010.

♦ However, after hitting the high, the stock reversed its upward momentum and began a profit-taking downswing.

♦ It fell below to the RM1.78 key support level and triggered a bearish consolidation phase.

♦ The stock fell convincingly to below the RM1.55 level in May, and slipped off the supportive UTL near RM1.42 in
early early Jun.

♦ Thereafter, it has been trading near to the UTL and has failed to cross over the hurdle successfully.

♦ Following a “shooting star” candle registered on last Thursday at the high of RM1.51, on the dot of the 40-day
SMA, the stock recorded a bearish candle on the chart on Friday.

♦ The candle pattern suggests a bearish trend ahead. Not only that, the close at RM1.41 was below the 10-day SMA
of RM1.42. This points to a short-term negative trend ahead.

♦ Coupled with the weak momentum readings, we expect it to retest the RM1.33 level soon. Losing RM1.33 will
confirm the uptrend derailment and mark the beginning of a bearish trend.

Technical Readings:

♦ 10-day SMA: RM1.421

♦ 40-day SMA: RM1.504

♦ Support: IS = RM1.33 S1 = RM1.20 S2 = RM1.06

♦ Resistance: IR = RM1.55 R1 = RM1.78
