Outside Malaysia China: Current-account surplus may shrink, Zhou says. People’s Bank of

China Governor Zhou Xiaochuan said China’s current-account surplus “‘will no longer be a serious problem” as the country’s economic-stimulus plan stokes domestic demand. Zhou, speaking to reporters in Washington, said “hopefully the current-account surplus is going to shrink” as China’s economic stimulus plan begins to show results. “For the medium term, I think probably this will no longer be a serious problem,” said Zhou, who was in Washington for the International Monetary Fund meeting. China’s current-account surplus rose 15% YoY to USD 426b last year, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange reported last week.

Equity Research PP11072/03/2010 (023549)

Technicals 27 Apr % Chg Net Chg Market Review

The market tumbled after its recent rise as profit-taking activities emerged due to weaker regional markets. Swine flu worries caused the regional malaise. In addition, investors were cautious as they awaited the announcement on the liberalisation of the financial sector. The KLCI shed 12.56 points to 980.12 and the FBM Emas lost 100.59 points to 6,470.59. Meanwhile, the FBM Second Board and MESDAQ indices declined 0.66 points to 4,309.56 and 146.77 points to 3,470.38 respectively. Trading volume was a very high 2.11b shares worth RM1.42b. Market breadth was negative as losers outnumbered gainers 508 to 188, while 169 counters remained unchanged. Regional Markets The regional markets were lower as the outbreak of the swine flu spread, raising concerns that it may slow the recovery of the global economy. The Hang Seng tumbled 2.74% or 418.43 points to 14,840.42 on news that the ICBC shareholders will sell their stakes in the company, while the STI lost 1.85% or 34.24 points to 1,818.61 in line with regional markets. Elsewhere, the KOSPI declined 1.05% or 14.27 points to 1,339.83 on profit taking and the Jakarta Composite Index shed 1.04% or 15.26 points to 1,576.08. However, the Nikkei 225 rebounded slightly by 0.21% or 18.35 points to 8,726.34, erasing earlier losses on gains led by banking stocks on news of possible merger and acquisitions. US Markets Overnight US markets fell on worries that the swine flu outbreak will have a negative impact on travel, energy and hotel companies. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.64% or 51.29 points to 8,025.00, the S&P 500 lost 1.01% or 8.72 points to 857.51, while the Nasdaq Composite Index shed 0.88% or 14.88 points to 1,679.41. Meanwhile, crude oil fell 1.30% or USD0.66 to USD50.14/bbl on concerns that the swine flu outbreak will restrict travel and on weaker US economic outlook. Daily Technical Outlook The KLCI plunged 12.56-points to close at 980.12 yesterday. Investors may nibble on dips to the support areas of 957 and 974. Profit-taking on rallies to the resistance areas of 980 and 996 will cap market gains for now. A Key Bearish Engulfing Candlestick Pattern high was sighted at 996.80 yesterday. As a result, the KLCI could retrace to 965.95, 958.82 and 946.99 before heading higher in the longer-term. As a result of the swine flu worries, rubber glove manufacturers would rise. Among the technical buy stocks that we like are: ADVENTA, AFG, AIRPORT, HARTA, KLCCP, KOSSAN, SUPERMX, TOPGLOV and TWSPLNT.

TECHNICALS

52 Week High : 1,305.09 Strategy : TAKE PROFITS 52 Week Low : 801.27 CCI : Positive Support S1/S2 : 957 & 974 DMI : Positive Resistance R1/R2 : 980 & 996 MACD : Positive Oscillator : Positive Upside target T1/T2 : 1,008 & 1,043 (deferred) RSI : Overbought (72) Stop-loss : 955 Stochastic : Negative Upward Period : 2 days to 2 months Trend : Up

MARKET ROUNDUP

The KLCI traded much lower on broad-based profit-taking activities and the index settled at 980.12 with a 12.56-point loss. Some stocks that led the decline were GENTING, SIME, TENAGA, COMMERZ and ASTRO. Technical Viewpoint: Due to its superb and positive price and very high volume trends recently, the KLCI is in its Wave 4C “Flat” corrective rise from the 936.63 high (Wave 4A) and the 836.51 low (Wave 4B) respectively. The Wave iii/4C move stalled at 996.80 high yesterday. A Wave iv/4C correction move is underway for the next few days. The index may find some buying interest at its support levels of 957 and 974, while the firm resistance areas of 980 and 996 will cap its rise for today. With the heavy volumes and selling yesterday, the market is due to make a correction move ahead of the Labour Day holiday. Some volatility could be expected for the next 3 days. However, the correction phase could be short and swift as the upward momentum could be lost otherwise. With the Bearish Engulfing Candle pattern that emerged yesterday, the KLCI could retrace to 965.95, 958.82 and 946.99 before heading higher.

KLCI Futures reading: The May contract moved to a 5.12-point discount to the KLCI. Traders will trade the range for the KLCIF today with a profit-taking bias. Nibble at the support areas of 948.0 and 967.0 and take profit at the 975.0 and 1,002.0-resistance zone.

FIRM BUY (TECHNICAL) on dips for ADVENTA with good support areas at RM0.86 and RM1.07, with fine potential to reach its stipulated resistance and target areas of RM1.24 and RM1.54.

Recommendation

SUPERMX made a Wave 5 low of RM0.78 in Feb ’09, with grossly oversold and overbought signals. Indicators (like CCI, DMI, MACD, Stochastic and Oscillator) confirm its very strong Wave 3 uptrend. As such, SUPERMX will rise further and test the stipulated resistance and target levels. FIRM BUY (TECHNICAL) for SUPERMX, with strong support areas seen at RM1.34 and RM1.60, with great potential to reach its stipulated resistance and target areas of RM1.78 and RM1.96. Stop-loss is at RM1.32.

Glossary of key technical terms COMMODITY CHANNEL

INDEX (CCI) An oscillator used in technical analysis to help determine when an investment vehicle has been overbought and oversold. It quantifies the relationship between the asset's price, a moving average (MA) of the asset's price, and normal deviations (D) from that average.

DIRECTIONAL MOVEMENT INDEX (DMI)

An indicator for identifying when a definable trend is present in an instrument, i.e. the DMI tells whether an instrument is trending or not.

MOVING AVERAGE CONVERGENCE

DIVERGENCE (MACD)

A trend lagging momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of prices. A “signal line” is also plotted on top of the MACD to function as a trigger for buy and sell signals.

OSCILLATOR A technical analysis tool that is banded between two extreme values and built with the results from a trend indicator for discovering short-term overbought or oversold conditions. As the oscillator approaches the upper extreme value the stock is overbought, while in the lower extreme it is oversold.

RELATIVE STRENGTH INDEX (RSI)

A technical momentum indicator that compares the magnitude of recent losses to determine overbought and oversold conditions of the stock. The stock is overbought (overvalued) once the RSI approaches the 80-level. Meanwhile, the stock is oversold (undervalued) as the RSI approaches the 20-level.

STOCHASTIC A technical momentum indicator that compares a security’s closing price to its price range over a given time period. The stock is overbought when the indicator is above 80 and oversold when it is below 20.
