Stronger commodities price push FCPO price to closed higher at 2587 up 57 points with supportive volume transacted. At closed, the daily candle stayed near the upper Bollinger band = the downward correction has ended with possible upward movement resume. Bollinger band with getting narrower = market upside is temporary limited to the upper Bollinger band, may go side way from there before the band width started to turn outward. MACD Histrogram recorded higher reading = buyer has returned back to the market. With the underlying strength gathered after downward rest correction of the uptrend market, expecting a trade upside biased with immediate target/resistant at 2606 followed by 2651 level.
When to buy : buy at support/weakness/break up with larger cut loss and profit target.
When to sell : sell at resistant or strength with quick cut loss and profit target.
3.5 points range FKLI market closed the day up 1.5 point at 1267 with drying volume. Daily chart wise, price manage to trade above the middle Bollinger band = market have turned into positive tone mildly. Bollinger band width continue to narrow = side way range bound likely. MACD Histrogram reading improved = light buying activities with the absence of seller. Closed right at the resistant upper downward channel line, waiting for market to decide on its direction either to break above or retrace downward again or even continue to go side ways. Wait and see but seriously, regardless of where the market move, the range is just too small to earn a penny. I think its already half life near death with the deteriorating volume. Hahaha.. Just my imaginative jokes.
When to buy : Better off for Christmas shopping or take a rest.
When to sell : Better off for Christmas shopping or take a rest.
Plan for next year !
FKLI tested the upper downward channel line and seems lack of momentum to march further ended the first session down 0.5 point to closed at 1265. The last hourly chart candle still holding above the middle Bollinger band with the band width turning inwards = market tested resistant level and likely to trade side way with a little upside biased for the near term. MACD Histrogram last reading seems weaker than the previous bars = seller still in control of the market. At the juction, expecting market to trade side way ranging due to lack of evidence for market to march up further. But should increasing volume returned to the market at the second session with price break above the upper downward channel line, market could possible test the next resistant level at 1269.
FCPO third month contract traded firmer with improved volume up 49 points to closed at 2579 at the first session. Hourly chart wise, market gap up and traded strongly through out the entire morning and closed right above the upper Bollinger band with the band width expanding = market movement has turned upside biased for the near term. MACD Histrogram recorded some good progress = buying interest has returned to the market. Market managed to test above the minor resistant line at 2590 to reach the high of 2595 before easing downward due to mild profit taking activities by intraday trader. Should more volume come in at the second half session, market is likely to rest another stronger resistant level at the previous high level of 2606. Immediate support stands at 2535 level.

Mah Sing Group has secured an en bloc sale of a seven-storey retail and office space known as Apex Tower to a Taiwanese individual, Chen Ho-Yuan, for RM63m cash. The tower, which has about a net floor area of 90,126sf, formed part of the overall freehold commercial development project, Southgate, located at the intersection of Jalan Dua and Jalan Sungai Besi. The latest transaction had helped Mah Sing clock up total sales of RM678m, exceeding its full-year target of RM453m by 1.5x. (Financial Daily)
We are not surprised by the sale as it has been Mah Sing's intention to find an en bloc buyer for the building. Nonetheless, it is a positive development and indicates that the en bloc market still exists for strategically located property and developers with strong marketing prowess can still secure such sales.

The explosion was said to have happened at the food court section located on ground floor of the threestorey complex.

Tenaga (TNB) said the plan to supply electric power from the 2,400MW Bakun hydro dam to Peninsular Malaysia by 2015, is still on. "As far as we understand TNB will still be able to access power produced by the hydro plants in Sarawak," said its chairman, Tan Sri Leo Moggie. "Obviously some of the power will be utilised by Sarawak’s heavy industries but Sarawak has a potential of producing substantial capacity," Moggie said. What has been identified for transmission to Peninsular Malaysia, will still be within the total available capacity that can be generated in Sarawak. TNB plans on bringing in only 1,600MW and 800MW respectively by 2015 and 2017, he said. (Bernama)
Tenaga has short-circuited hopes for a reduction in power charges. “Logically, you can’t reduce both subsidies and tariffs at the same time,” said CEO Datuk Seri Che Khalib. “I think the revision of gas prices in Jan-10 and its impact is more crucial, rather than asking TNB whether we are going to increase tariffs,” he said. He added that any move by the government to lower electricity prices, even as natural gas costs rise, would not be feasible. (Starbiz)
