Our Thoughts

Wall Street closed broadly higher as we await for the results from the US presidential election which will be tight. Meanwhile, the US 10-year yield dipped to 4.281% ahead of the Federal Reserve’s decision in a couple of days. In Hong Kong, the HSI maintained its ascension hitting past the 21,000 mark from latest data showing China’s service sector grew at its fastest pace since July. Meanwhile, sentiment was further boosted by Beijing’s move to ease foreign investments into local markets. Back home, the FBM KLCI managed to close just above the 1,620 level amid a choppy session as investors continue to mop up banks, plantation and telco stocks ahead of corporate earnings results later this month. Although, outlook on Wall Street remains jittery, we believe the local bourse to stay steady following recent sell-down hence expect the index to trend within the 1,615, 1,625 range today.
