KUALA LUMPUR: Blue chips took a breather in early trade on Wednesday, Sept 15 as investors took profit after the rally with Genting among the decliners.
The FBM KLCI shed 3.65 points to 1,470.79 at 9.30am. Turnover was 78.31 million shares done valued at RM96.39 million. There were 120 gainers, 152 losers and 165 stocks unchanged.
HLG Research said in its market outlook that the FBM KLCI may continue to rise further in the short term amid domestic positive newsflow and in anticipation of further Ringgit strengthening (vs US$).
'Technically, the FBM KLCI is likely to remain overbought amid active participation in index-linked blue chips by foreign institutional and the formation of two bullish Marubozu candles. According to Bursa, daily trading participation by foreigners increased further to 36.8% on Sept 13 from 35.3% on Sept 9,' it said.
HLG Research however cautioned that investors should beware of more profit taking consolidations when the RSI reading (now at 86) approaches the 90 zone.
'On the upside, after breaching two tough resistance barriers of 1,450 and 1,472 (76.4% FR from top 1,525 and low of 1,300), the next targets are 1,490 (Jan 8, 2008's intraday high), the 1,500 psychological hurdle and all-time high of 1,524.'' The latter two should see heavier profit-taking capping upside,' it said.
At Bursa, YTL fell 10 sen to RM7.50 with 100 shares done. Genting, which staged a strong run-up on Tuesday, fell eight sen to RM9.91 with 350,500 shares done.
