Hong Leong IB Research expects 2023 to be a less stormy year for Bursa Malaysia (but certainly not a smooth journey), following a cumulative two-year loss of 8.2%.

Hong Leong IB Research预计,在连续两年累计亏损 8.2% 之后,2023 年对大马交易所来说将是平静的一年(但肯定不会是一帆风顺的旅程)。

 

In a traders’ brief on 3rd January,  the research house said that currently, CY2023’s valuation is not especially demanding as the FBM KLCI is now trading at 13x P/E (versus 10-year mean 16.9x) and supported by bottomed out foreign shareholding (November 2022: 20.7% — versus November 2019: 20.3%), which would help contain an exodus.

在1 月 3 日的交易员简报中,该研究机构表示,目前,CY2023 的估值并不是特别苛刻,因为富时隆综指目前的市盈率为 13 倍(10 年平均为 16.9 倍),并受到触底支撑外资持股(2022 年 11 月:20.7% — 2019 年 11 月:20.3%),这将有助于遏制外流。

 

“We envision KLCI to chalk up a positive month in January (resistance: 1,512-1,528-1,540) barring a decisive breakdown below the key 1,454-1,468 supports.

“我们预计综指将在 1 月份取得上涨(阻力位:1,512-1,528-1,540),除非跌破关键的 1,454-1,468 支撑位。

 

“Major events to watch out for in January: i) assess the 2022 cumulative impact of 4.25% Fed rate and 1% OPR hike reactions to weaker macroeconomics and corporate data; ii) the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war; iii) the Umno general assembly on 13th January; iv) the BNM meeting on 19th-20th January; and v) opportunities and risks for the global economy and markets following China’s border reopening on 8th January.

“1 月份需要关注的重大事件:i) 评估 4.25% 的美联储利率和 1% 的 OPR 加息对宏观经济和企业数据疲软的反应的 2022 年累积影响;ii) 正在进行的俄乌战争;iii)1月13日的巫统大会;iv) 1 月 19 日至 20 日的国行会议;v) 1 月 8 日中国边境重新开放后全球经济和市场的机遇和风险。

 

“Technically, Hibiscus Petroleum Bhd (HLIB: 'buy'; TP at RM1.56) should attract buyers on weakness for recovery upside towards the RM1.12-1.16-1.20 hurdles, while crucial support cushioning downside is capped at the RM1.00-1.04 levels,” it said.

“从技术上讲,Hibiscus Petroleum Bhd(HLIB:‘买入’;目标价为 1.56 令吉)应该会吸引买家,因为其复苏上行空间将转向 1.12-1.16-1.20 令吉的关口,而缓冲下行的关键支撑位上限为 1.00 令吉-1.04 水平,”它说。
