Preview
Expect futures to trend higher for the day, tracking gains in major bourses around the globe. In the US, the S&P 500 staged a third consecutive day of record high closing while dismal earnings fromMcDonalds curbed gains in the Dow. Nevertheless, solid performance in the financial and health sectors managed to sustain gains. Back home, the FBM KLCI ended unchanged at 1797.68.
The local index ended flat after trading higher for most part of the day on last minute foreign selling activities. Meanwhile, volume across the board was thin as investors await the release of corporate earnings for the second-quarter prior to making investment decisions. The market was weighed down by British American Tobacco, Hong Leong Bank, and Kuala Lumpur Kepong Bhd. On the other hand, telecommunication stocks provided support for the market as Digi released favorable corporate earnings. Futures were still being traded at a premium of circa 4 points from its underlying cash market.
Technicals
