Market View, News in Brief: Corporate, Economy, and Share Buybacks Monday, August 16, 2021 FBMKLCI: 1, 505 .11 THIS REPORT IS STRICTLY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY* WWeeeekkllyy SSttrraatteeggyy Market View, News in Brief: Corporate, Economy, and Share Buybacks Kaladher Govindan Tel: +603-2167 9609 [email protected] www.taonline.com.my Market View Market Recovery Pending on the Outcome of PM’s Audience with the King The local blue -chip benchmark FTSE Bursa Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (FBM KLCI) staged mild rebound during last week’s Awal Muharram holiday shortened trading, as the relaxation of some restrictions for the fully vaccinated population helped improve economic recovery hopes. Keen bargain hunting interest in key rubber glove stocks lifted the healthcare sector up by 1.5 percent post Awal Muharram, but persistent uncertainties on the domestic politics front and the challenging local Covid situation continued to bog down sentiment. Week-on-week, the FBM KLCI gained 15.31 points, or 1.03 percent to 1,505.11, with gains in Hartalega (+50sen), Press Metal Holdings (+12sen), KLK (+90sen) and Maybank (+7sen) offsetting falls in Sime Darby (-3sen) and Petronas Chemicals (-3sen). Average daily traded volume and value last week slowed to 3.82 billion shares and RM2.41 billion, respectively, compared to the 4.04 billion shares and RM2.51 billion average the previous week, as trading participation dwindled with increased uncertainties over the domestic political landscape and challenging Covid situation bogging down trading sentiment. As far as domestic politics is concerned, the plot thickened further on news the Prime Minister (PM) will be meeting the Yang di-Pertuan Agong again today. Investors’ anxiety has increased ever since some members of parliament (MPs) withdrew support for the PM, which raised doubts about him having majority in the parliament. This meeting with the King came hot on the heels of his recent parliamentary reform proposals to all MPs and widespread speculations that there is an increased pressure on him to call for a vote of confidence in the parliament as soon as possible. With a lot of speculations on what could transpire during this meeting and its implications on Malaysia’s political landscape, most investors, especially institutional, may prefer to continue sitting on the fence until more clarity emerges. This may also heighten concerns about greater foreign selling but I believe most foreigners who wanted to exit because of uncertain domestic politics have already done so. Take note that the net outflow of foreign funds started in 2018, after 14 GE, and gained momentum because of the increasingly unstable domestic politics. The net outflow situation continued in 2021, amplified by rising Covid-19 cases and unwinding of US Dollar carry trades due to intense speculations about the timing of US monetary policy tightening. So, don't expect major outflow because of the most recent political development. In fact, any positive outcome that ends the current political turmoil and leads to a stable government should be positive for the economy and the equity market. Any knee jerk selling should be a good buying opportunity with 1,450 acting as a good support level for the FBMKLCI. Long-term growth prospects for the domestic economy and equity market remain intact and investors’ appetite for equities is expected to pick up once the dust settles in the not-so-distant future. Expect better clarity in domestic politics in 2H22 as the PM has committed that the 15 th GE will be held by next July. Of course, what transpires after that Page 1 of 10 16-Aug-21 depends on the election outcome, which is not easy to predict, but b elieve w hat happened since 2018 should provide a better understanding and basis for the rakyat to elect a stronger government in the upcoming polls. By that time there should be a reversal in net foreign outflow as foreigners look for cheaper investments in recovering South East Asian equity markets post-Covid as they start to exit the pricy US equities. Thus, investors should view any price weakness in domestic equity market as an opportunity to go long. Banks look cheap in a monetary tightening environment, which could happen in 2H22. Same goes to property stocks that are mostly trading at an attractive CY22 P/Bk valuation of 0.2x to 0.6x for small caps and 0.3x to 0.9x for medium caps. Buy technology stocks that will continue to benefit from the new norm and chip shortages apart from recovery plays in the building materials, oil & gas and plantation sectors. Meanwhile, the government’s decision to allow more economic activities and businesses to resume operations today in states under Phase One and Two of the National Recovery Plan should contribute positively to the economy, which contracted by a seasonally adjusted 2% quarter-on-quarter but surged 16.1% year-on-year (YoY) in the second quarter of 2021. In the absence of low base effect and strict Covid-19 containment measures biting into the current quarter’s performance, anticipate a 4.9% YoY contraction in 3Q GDP before it expands by 6.2% YoY in the final quarter due to resumption in almost all economic activities after Malaysia achieves herd immunity by end of October. This will add up to a full year growth of 3.7%.

  • Renewed Concerns in Key ASEAN Economies Politics and Growth Prospects After the First COVID-19 Wave
    Renewed Concerns in Key ASEAN Economies Politics and Growth Prospects After the First COVID-19 Wave August 2020 Contents Summary of COVID-19 in Four Key ASEAN Economies 1 1. Vietnam 2 2. Malaysia 5 3. Thailand 9 4. Indonesia 13 Conclusion 16 References 17 This Special Report is authored by Associate Professor Simon Tay, Chairman, SIIA; Kevin Chen, Research Analyst; Jessica Wau, Assistant Director (ASEAN); and Sarah Loh, Research Analyst. All views expressed in this special report are those of the authors, unless otherwise credited. Introduction This Special Report by the Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA) will examine how key Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) economies – Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam – are emerging after the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. From June 2020, these four countries announced the end or easing of their lockdown measures and began to reopen their economies and business sectors. Their prospects matter not only to their own citizens but to the region and to Singapore as a hub, partner and investor. These four key economies represent over 70 per cent of overall ASEAN gross domestic product (GDP).1 This report will consider pre-existing economic and political challenges and how some of these have either stabilised or been sharpened and aggravated by the pandemic. The focus on the pandemic has generally meant that political developments have been muted in the first half of 2020. But as each country emerges from restrictions, political contestations and economic challenges are restarting; there are trends and risks emerging that may well move more quickly in the coming months.

A PEER-REVIEWED ARTICLE (RECEIVED – 14 JUN 2020: REVISED – 18 AUGUST 2020: ACCEPTED – 14 SEPTEMBER 2020) ABSTRACT This study examines on how participants’ education, economy and satisfaction contribute to the effectiveness of microcredit scheme known as Hijrah Selangor in widening the middle- income earners group in Selangor. To examine this, a cluster sampling consisting of 210 respondents, who reside and operate their businesses in three different zones, were given a AZJAF (e-ISSN: 2716-6643) Vol.1 No. 1 (2020) Page 57 set of questionnaires to gather the information. Several different statistical analyses are conducted with the main analysis being a multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that all studied variables; education, economy, and satisfaction have a positive relationship with the effectiveness of Hijrah Selangor. Economy has the most significant relationship and the highest effect on the effectiveness of Hijrah Selangor. The increase in monthly household income of the participants before and after joining the program is found to justify the objective of Hijrah Selangor in widening the middle-income earners group as shown in the demographic data where the monthly household income above RM10,000 has increased significantly from 2% to 60% after joining the program.
