HDBSVR sees FBM KLCI dropping couple of points on Wednesday

KUALA LUMPUR: Hwang DBS Vickers Research said it could see the benchmark FBM KLCI ' which has stood fairly resilient by treading within a 6-point range the past five days ' dropping a couple of points on Wednesday, Aug 11.

This follows an overnight fall on Wall Street. Key U.S. equity indices ' despite staging a late rebound ' were still down between 0.5% and 1.2% at the closing bell.

The initial downbeat sentiment was subsequently lifted by the Federal Reserve's decision ' while maintaining the federal funds rate ' to reinvest proceeds from expiring mortgage-backed securities in longer-term Treasury securities, effectively keeping an accommodative stance as the pace of economic recovery is anticipated to be more modest.

On Bursa Malaysia, four new European-style cash settled call warrants will be listed.

They are: (a) BJCorp-CC (exercise price of RM1.00; exercise ratio of 2 warrant-to-1 share); (b) HSBC-C7 (exercise price of HKD78.00; exercise ratio of 40 warrant-to-1 share); (c) Plus-CC (exercise price of RM3.50; exercise ratio of 4 warrant-to-1 share); and (d) IOI Corp-CO (exercise price of RM4.90; exercise ratio of 6 warrant-to-1 share).
