Sentiment Index - Malaysia Stock Market



Constructed and written by Smartbiz

Key Asian markets fell on Thursday, posting losses of up to 1.6% on worries about a global economic slowdown. Local sentiment weighed by regional trend slipped straight into negative note shortly after opening. The Oscillator ended at -424.98; lost 627.74 when compares with its opening point. The Average recorded a loss of 226.32.

After today’s trade, all line indicators fell sharply and the Histogram continued its top-rounding process.

Data for MSCD are appended as below:

DATE A_OSC %K %D %A HGM
5/7/2012 83.40 12.97 18.46 78.49 40.41
6/7/2012 246.89 48.94 1.20 66.66 41.87
9/7/2012 133.82 20.84 8.80 69.10 39.43
10/7/2012 88.72 31.28 1.58 63.36 38.11
11/7/2012 6.03 27.39 1.01 60.84 36.17
12/7/2012 226.32 11.63 17.71 66.26 30.16
LAST+- 232.35 39.02 16.70 5.42 6.01


Conclusion: Market sentiment progressed in pure pessimism as numbers of key Asian markets suffered more than 1% losses.  At Bursa Malaysia, losses in Genting and Tenaga dragged the key index into the red. At market closing, Gainer was 289 and Loser 478.

In MSCD, %K fell and is just about 6 points away from %D. Crossing this point will confirm a short-term bearish market. By then, number of Loser will overwhelm Gainer for a longer period. Understandably, most losers will be those small-caps and penny stocks. So long as FBMKLCI stays above 1,600 points, blue chips will regain support.
