Weekly Market Update - 17 October 2016

Market Outlook

Equity Market Outlook

  • We maintain positive view on Malaysia.
  • Potential oil price production cut by Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) should remove share price overhang.
  • Foreign ownership in Malaysia remains low and hence least susceptible to external shocks compared to other ASEAN peers.

 

Fixed Income Outlook

  • The latest minutes and comments from Federal Reserve policymakers indicated that members were divided about holding rates and were highly likely for rates to rise by the end of the year. The recent depreciation of the ringgit and risk-off sentiment has caused the MGS market to correct between 1-13bps.
  • This week, focus will be upon the government’s Budget for 2017, which we think will be a mix between fiscal consolidation and populist measures.
