We are back with another article that could probably be a good thought process for you as an investor despite the market uncertainties. This article will be a short and simple one.

As usual we will be keeping it simple for you to understand. So with many things happening in global markets, two major attention seekers include

1) Increasing COVID cases with new variants

2) Increasing inflation worries which may cause value stocks to drop in price

This time we will be talking on inflation worries which as affected one particular sector --> TECHNOLOGY SECTOR

What has grabbed our attention in this sector when alot of selling has been happening lately?

Evident by the big drop in NASDAQ which represents technology stocks in the US, we know that tech stocks has faced a medium term downwards pressure and it is very rare to have them go all the way to an oversold position.

The above chart represents the technology index in Bursa Malaysia which is currently in an oversold position. As you can see in the highlighted circles, every time this sector hits an oversold position there is a big chance it will rebound to maintain its uptrend position.

This time however, it is too early to say that technology sector will resume its uptrend because inflation worries are not over.

The data below shows how high inflation in the US has shot up against analysts forecast. This actually is the core reason for the sell down in value stocks especially the technology sector.
