Market Daily Report: Bursa Malaysia Ends Lower On US Tariff Concerns, CI Down 1.0 Pct

KUALA LUMPUR, March 4 (Bernama) -- Bursa Malaysia closed lower for a fourth consecutive day today in tandem with the weak regional market performance on trade war concerns following the United States’ (US) confirmation of its tariff imposition on Mexico, Canada and China, effective today.  

At 5 pm, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) fell 15.73 points or 1.0 per cent to 1,555.66 from yesterday’s close of 1,571.39.

The market bellwether opened 9.69 points lower at 1,561.70, and moved between 1,555.04 and 1,564.26 throughout the day. 

On the broader market, decliners trounced gainers 840 to 140, while 514 counters were unchanged, 837 untraded, and six suspended. 

Turnover advanced to 3.81 billion units worth RM3.04 billion from 3.18 billion units worth RM2.44 billion yesterday.

Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd vice-president of equity research Thong Pak Leng said the slew of disappointing United States (US) economic reports in the last two weeks also weighed on market sentiment.

“Regional investors are closely watching the National People’s Congress meeting, which begins in Beijing on Wednesday, anticipating China to outline economic stimulus measures,” he told Bernama.

On the local front, he said investors are staying on the sidelines in search of fresh market drivers, with the benchmark index likely to trade sideways.

“However, bargain hunting could emerge due to attractive valuations.

“At this stage, we recommend maintaining caution and prioritising large-cap stocks such as banks, plantations, and retail real estate investment trust (REITs), which provide solid dividend yields for defensive play,” he added. 

Therefore, Thong foresees the benchmark index fluctuating between 1,550 and 1,580 for the rest of the week.

Meanwhile, UOB Kay Hian Wealth Advisors Sdn Bhd head of investment research Mohd Sedek Jantan said the FBM KLCI fell today in line with regional indices as investors adopted a risk-off stance following the enforcement of new levies on Canada, Mexico, and China.

“The move has heightened concerns over escalating global trade tensions, further weighing on market sentiment,” he said. 

He said growth sectors experienced significant losses in today’s trade, with the Bursa Malaysia technology index declining by 4.7 per cent, reflecting heightened investor caution amid prevailing macroeconomic uncertainties.

Among heavyweights, Maybank eased 8.0 sen to RM10.60, Public Bank slid 3.0 sen to RM4.53, CIMB was flat at RM8.00, Tenaga Nasional went down 10 sen to RM13.60, and IHH Healthcare slid 7.0 sen to RM7.35. 

As for the actives, NationGate gained 15 sen to RM1.45, Ingenieur Gudang inched down half-a-sen to 3.0 sen, Genting Malaysia and Sime Darby Property erased 9.0 sen each to RM1.81 and RM1.30, respectively, and Velesto Energy eased 1.0 sen to 16 sen.

On the index board, the FBM Emas Index dipped 167.02 points to 11,544.87, the FBMT 100 Index dropped 149.22 points to 11,330.15, the FBM Emas Shariah Index lost 184.69 points to 11,163.34, and the FBM ACE Index slid 140.70 points to 4,551.37, and the FBM 70 Index tumbled 353.34 points to 16,286.04.

By sector, the Energy Index edged down 20.55 points to 735.0, the Financial Services Index shed 125.68 points to 19,258.35, the Industrial Products and Services Index gave up 3.44 points to 153.09, and the Plantation Index was 36.68 points lower at 7,483.01.

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。
