Malaysia Stock Market - Sentiment Index

Asian stock markets were mixed on Tuesday, with Japan's shares erasing early losses amid a rebound in utility plays and some yen weakness, while Australia's shares came off lows as the central bank adopted a less hawkish tone after keeping rates on hold as expected.

Local sentiment reversed into optimism after the break as blue chips took a breather but small-caps and low-liners took center stage. The Intra-day Oscillator surged to end at its day-high at +205.89; gained 211.72 when compares with its starting point. The Average recorded a gain of 42.59.

At the end of the day, %K (yellow) of MSCD recorded as -187.78 (+41.87), %D (red) -170.91 (+17.09) and the Histogram -36.71 (+4.96). Both indicators hooked slightly up but remain in the downtrend channel. The Histogram printed a shorter negative bar.

MSCD shows that overall market sentiment is improving but remains in uncertainty as participation is scarce. However, Smallcaps and Lowliners have shown some lives.
