KUALA LUMPUR, March 14 (Bernama) -- The FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) ended the week slightly higher, in line with regional indices despite the weaker performance on Wall Street overnight. At 5 pm, the FBM KLCI rose 2.12 points or 0.14 per cent to 1,512.15 from Thursday’s close of 1,510.03.  The market bellwether opened 10.08 points lower at 1,499.95, and moved between 1,493.29 and 1,516.25 throughout the day.  On the broader market, gainers outpaced losers with 680 to 292, while 437 counters were unchanged, 1,009 untraded, and 13 suspended.

Market Daily Report: Bursa Malaysia Ends Lower On Heavy Selling In Tech, Utility Stocks

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 13 (Bernama) -- Bursa Malaysia's benchmark index ended lower today, weighed down by heavy selling in technology and utility blue chips, reflecting the ripple effect from a sell-off on Wall Street last Friday.

At 5 pm, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) fell 16.82 points, or 1.05 per cent, to 1,585.59 compared with last Friday’s close of 1,602.41.

The benchmark index, which opened 3.45 points lower at 1,598.96, moved between 1,578.97 and 1,599.36 during the day.

Decliners thumped advancers by 913 to 211, with 450 counters unchanged, 795 untraded and 39 suspended.

Turnover increased to 2.85 billion units valued at RM2.54 billion against last Friday’s 2.52 billion units valued at RM2.42 billion.

UOB Kay Hian Wealth Advisors head of investment research Mohd Sedek Jantan said investors reacted to lower expectations of interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) this year, as robust indicators, such as last Friday's non-farm payroll report and a declining unemployment rate, signal a strengthening economy.

“While these are positive signs for economic fundamentals, they also raise concerns about inflation, potentially making a rate cut less likely.

“This has created uncertainty and impacted global markets, contributing to the FBM KLCI's negative performance,” he told Bernama.

He said the index ended the day below the critical psychological level of 1,600, with market dynamics and emotion-driven sentiment amplifying the sell-off.

“However, it is important to note that market sentiment and investor behaviour can deviate significantly from fundamentals.

“Moreover, the accumulated decline, which has been building since last week, presents a potential buying opportunity for investors seeking to capitalise on undervalued positions,” he added.

Meanwhile, Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd equity research vice-president Thong Pak Leng said for this week, global attention will focus on major US data releases such as the December producer price index on Tuesday, consumer price index on Wednesday, retail sales on Thursday, and industrial production on Friday.

“Back home, we are cautious about the market due to external factors. We believe technology and related stocks will come under further pressure due to a knee-jerk reaction to US President Joe Biden's stringent new regulations on advanced artificial intelligence chip exports.

“While the benchmark index may face challenges from rising global uncertainties and volatility, nonetheless, the attractive valuations of blue chips are expected to sustain accumulation,” he said.

“Hence, the FBM KLCI is expected to trend within the 1,580-1,600 range for the week, representing key support and resistance levels,” he added.

Among the heavyweights, Maybank fell two sen to RM10.08, CIMB dropped eight sen to RM8.10 and Tenaga slid 20 sen to RM13.90. Public Bank gained one sen to RM4.45 and IHH added four sen to RM7.10.

As for the active stocks, Swift Energy eased one sen to 37.5 sen, Key Alliance inched down half-a-sen to 0.5 sen, YTL Power slipped 25 sen to RM4.00, Nationgate declined 12 sen to RM2.33 and MYEG trimmed two sen to 94.5 sen.

On the index board, the FBM Emas Index dropped 123.40 points to 12,179.36, the FBMT 100 Index shrank 119.18 points to 11,864.65, and the FBM ACE Index tumbled 107.44 points to 5,246.03, while the FBM Emas Shariah Index slipped 139.88 points to 12,110.86, and the FBM 70 Index slid 159.10 points to 18,308.44.

By sector, the Industrial Products and Services Index shed 2.20 points to 168.46, the Energy Index climbed 2.49 points to 835.79, the Financial Services Index decreased 91.38 points to 18,833.15, and the Plantation Index declined 67.67 points to 7,442.95. 

The Main Market volume improved to 1.51 billion units worth RM2.29 billion against last Friday’s 1.45 billion units worth RM2.19 billion.

Warrants turnover expanded to 856.91 million units valued at RM82.83 million versus 678.03 million units valued at RM68.55 million previously.   

The ACE Market volume advanced to 484.47 million units worth RM167.11 million from 390.05 million units worth RM159.37 million on Friday.

Consumer products and services counters accounted for 198.27 million shares traded on the Main Market, industrial products and services (301.39 million), construction (99.08 million), technology (230.66 million), SPAC (nil), financial services (61.29 million), property (208.71 million), plantation (33.58 million), REITs (10.12 million), closed/fund (20,500), energy (139.53 million), healthcare (61.56 million), telecommunications and media (46.71 million), transportation and logistics (26.24 million), utilities (93.02 million), and business trusts (281,000).

特朗普考虑保罗·阿特金斯接任SEC主席,或推动加密货币监管转型

据彭博社报道,美国候任总统唐纳德·特朗普正在考虑由 保罗·阿特金斯 (Paul Atkins)接替即将卸任的证券交易委员会(SEC)主席 加里·根斯勒 (Gary Gensler)。阿特金斯以其支持数字资产的立场闻名,这一任命可能为SEC的加密货币监管政策带来重大转变。 事件概况 阿特金斯的背景 : 阿特金斯曾在乔治·W·布什政府期间担任SEC专员。他一直推动制定明确且平衡的加密货币法规,力求为金融科技创新提供支持。 行业经验 : 离开SEC后,阿特金斯领导了 Patomak Global Partners ,一家为主要金融公司提供咨询的机构。他主张简化监管流程以鼓励创新,同时确保市场完整性。 其他候选人 : 马克·乌耶达 (Mark Uyeda):现任SEC专员 希斯·塔伯特 (Heath Tarbert):前商品期货交易委员会(CFTC)主席 罗伯特·斯特宾斯 (Robert Stebbins):Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP合伙人 特朗普的亲加密货币立场 特朗普承诺终结根斯勒领导下的SEC“反加密货币运动”。根斯勒的任期因FTX崩盘等丑闻后的强力执法而备受争议,被批评为给行业带来了不确定性。 阿特金斯的潜在任命与特朗普的目标一致,即在保障市场完整性的同时,通过更加友好的监管政策推动数字资产的发展。 接下来会发生什么? SEC主席的任命预计将在未来几天内敲定。如果阿特金斯接任,这将表明SEC将采取更注重创新的监管方式,为加密货币行业带来更大的确定性和发展空间。

Capital A 股价下跌,因外汇驱动的第三季度业绩低于预期

Capital A Bhd 在周五早盘交易中股价下跌7%,至1.01令吉,市值降至46亿令吉。这是由于其2024财年第三季度业绩未达到大多数分析师预期,尽管受益于外汇收益提振。 2024财年第三季度亮点: 核心税后及少数股东权益后亏损 (Latmi):  1.434亿令吉,令2024财年前9个月的税后亏损达到1.195亿令吉。 业绩未达  香港联昌投资银行(HLIB)预计的7.549亿令吉的税后净利(Patmi),但与市场普遍预测的4.59亿令吉税后净利一致。 剔除例外项目 (EIs):  共计12亿令吉,主要由于15亿令吉的外汇收益,但被递延税务损失部分抵销。 环比表现: 核心Latmi从上一季度的5,760万令吉恶化至1.434亿令吉,主要受以下因素影响: 季节性收益率疲弱; 成本增加; ADE MRO(维修、保养及翻修)业务因6个新机库的启动成本造成亏损。 未来展望: 预计2024财年第四季度表现将有所改善,得益于: 更高的机队容量; 季节性需求和收益率的改善; 喷气燃料价格下降及美元贬值; 来自新ADE机库的运营贡献。 待决事项: 航空业务出售:  正等待法院批准出售给亚航长途(AirAsia X Bhd, KL:AAX),预计在2025财年第一季度完成。 PN17状态:  出售后仍维持,预计在2025财年上半年完成相关解决方案。 联昌投资银行(HLIB)建议: 维持“买入”评级,目标价为1.68令吉,估值基于航空业务为68亿令吉,非航空业务为21.5亿令吉。 尽管短期面临挑战,Capital A 的长期增长前景依然受到更强的季节性表现和战略举措的支持。
