Crucial supports are at 70sen and the 3/1/17 pivot low (65sen). Asian Markets Rally Fades as Trade Tensions Not Over Yet Global stocks mostly cooled Wednesday as caution again crept into markets over strained U.S-China trade ties and escalating tensions in Syria. Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump both struck conciliatory tones on Tuesday, which analysts hoped could open the door for negotiations to avert a trade war. But one report said early talk have already broken down. Adding to market jitters, the United States and its Western allies are reportedly discussing possible military action over a suspected poison gas attack in Syria, a move which could provoke a response from Russia. Japanese stocks fell for the first time in three days on Wednesday following a strong rally the previous day, but index-heavy SoftBank rose after sources said that Sprint is in new talks to merge with T-Mobile. The Nikkei ended 0.5 percent lower to 21,687.10. Across the Korean Strait, the Kospi finished lower by 0.27 percent at 2,444.22 as gains seen earlier in the day fizzled out. Over in Sydney, the S&P/ASX 200 shed 0.48 percent to finish at 5,828.70 as most sub-indexes closed in the red. Meanwhile, China stocks ended higher as the market welcomed Beijing’s pledge to further open the country’s financial sector to foreign investors. The Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.6 percent to 3,208.08. Page 1 of 8
  4. 12-Apr-18 Wall Street Ends Lower as Geopolitical Tensions Move Center Stage U .S. stocks edged lower Wednesday, reversing a recent rebound, as possible U.S. military action against Syria stoked investor concerns about geopolitical risk to the American economy and minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee sparked worries about a more hawkish view on interest-rate increases. Major indices came under pressure in early trade after tweets from President Donald Trump suggested he was preparing for a military strike in Syria and underlined a tense relationship with Russia. Talk of a strike has been simmering since a suspected Assad-led chemical-weapons attack killed civilians in the rebel-held town of Douma over the weekend. But it could draw the U.S. into a conflict with Russia, in particular, which backs the Assad regime. The major Wall Street indices edged even lower after minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee showed concern among a few of its members that rising inflation might require a faster pace of interest rate hikes than anticipated. Investors have been tracking a rise in oil prices, as some think conflicts in the Middle East could hinder output and further support prices. U.S. crude oil climbed 2 percent to USD66.82 a barrel, its highest level since December 2014, and boosted shares of energy firms for the third straight session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 218.55 points, or 0.9 percent, to 24,189.45, the S&P 500 lost 14.68 points, or 0.55 percent, to 2,642.19 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 25.27 points, or 0.36 percent, to 7,069.03.

  7. 12-Apr-18 N e w s I n B r i e f Economy Asia February Industrial Output Below Survey as Mining Slips Malaysia 's industrial output, as measured by the industrial production index (IPI) grew at a slower pace of 3% in February, which was below a Bloomberg survey of 3.3% increase. The Statistics Department said the expansion in February was supported by the positive growth in the manufacturing index (4.7%) and the electricity index (2.8%). However, the mining index recorded a contraction during the month (-1.6%). The IPI in January 2018 was revised to 5.4%. On a yearly basis, manufacturing sector output grew by 4.7% in February 2018 after a strong growth of 6.9% in January. The main sub-sectors which recorded increases in February 2018 were: petroleum, chemicals, rubber and plastics products (7.0%); electrical and electronic equipment products (5.4%); and non-metallic mineral products, basic metal and fabricated metal products (5.0%). (The Star) Malaysia Fuel Prices Unchanged The retail fuel prices remained unchanged for the next one week. RON95 petrol remained at RM2.20 per litre while RON97 petrol retailed at RM2.47 per litre. Meanwhile, diesel priced at RM2.18. The Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism Ministry (KPDNKK) said the new prices will take effect from 12.01am tonight. It will be in effect between April 12 and April 18. The weekly fuel pricing mechanism came into effect in April last year. Petrol and diesel prices had been managed via monthly float system since Dec 1, 2014. (New Straits Times) China Pledges to Widen Access to Financial Market China laid out a clearer timetable for opening its financial sector to more foreign investment by the end of 2018, as Beijing looks to fend off growing criticism from the United States and others that it unfairly limits competition. People's Bank of China (PBOC) Governor Yi Gang said that China will allow foreign firms to compete on an equal footing with domestic companies in the sector. Though the specific details offered were mostly incremental and repeated previous pledges, China for the first time said it would implement a number of the measures by the end of this year, with some steps promised to be put in place as early as June. They include allowing foreign firms to invest in trust companies, financial leasing, auto finance and consumer finance, plans that were announced last year. The PBOC also confirmed it wants to set up a planned trading link between its stock markets and London by end-2018. Foreign businesses and China's trading partners have long complained about a lack of implementation of reforms announced years earlier, and that outside firms continue to face unofficial restrictions even after some sectors have ostensibly been opened up. (The Star) China’s Factory Inflation Slows as Consumer Price Gains Ease China’s factory inflation slowed for a fifth month while the consumer price index retreated from a four-year high. The producer price index rose 3.1% in March from a year earlier, compared with the projected 3.3% rise in a Bloomberg survey and 3.7% in February. The consumer price index climbed 2.1%, the statistics bureau said, versus a forecast of 2.6% and 2.9% in February. The slowest factory inflation in more than a year may offer limited support to the world reflation cycle, amid rising trade tensions that may weigh on synchronized global growth. Domestic consumer prices are forecast to rise this year, while tariffs added to imports of U.S. products from soybeans to cars may boost inflation if implemented. The slower PPI reading is in line with a Bloomberg Economics tracker, which uses daily movements of commodity prices to predict the monthly PPI reading. The fading of the Lunar New Year holiday effects in March was the main reason for the CPI deceleration, the statistics bureau said in a statement released with the data. (Bloomberg) Page 5 of 8
  8. 12-Apr-18 Trade War Would Damage Australia 's Economy - Governor A serious escalation of international trade tensions would “damage” the Australian economy, the country’s top central banker warned on Wednesday, amid a deepening tariff dispute between the United States and China. Volatility has spread across global financial markets since U.S. President Donald Trump first slapped import tariffs on aluminium and steel products last month, and later singled out China with extra duties. Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Governor Philip Lowe said in a speech that an escalation of the trade spat would hurt global growth and cloud the outlook for the domestic economy. The RBA has forecast stronger gross domestic product growth in 2018 than the 2.4% pace in the A$1.8 trillion economy seen last year. “There are, though, some uncertainties around this outlook, with the main ones lying in the international arena,” Lowe said in a speech in Perth. The RBA has left interest rates at a record low 1.50% as it awaits a pick-up in economic growth and inflation. Lowe reiterated on Wednesday that policy is likely to remain accommodative for some time yet. (Reuters) Japan Core Machine Orders Rise 2.1% In February Core machine orders in Japan advanced a seasonally adjusted 2.1% on month in February, the Cabinet Office said - coming in at 891.0 billion yen. That beat forecasts for a decline of 2.5% following the 8.2% spike in January. On a yearly basis, core machine orders advanced 2.4% - again exceeding expectations for a flat reading following the 2.9% gain in the previous month. The total value of machinery orders received by 280 manufacturers operating in Japan, including volatile ones for ships and those from electric power companies, fell 2.3% on month and climbed 9.4% on year. (RTT) United States Fed Minutes Signal Greater Confidence in Reaching 2% Inflation Federal Reserve officials at their meeting last month expressed greater confidence inflation would rise to their 2% target over the coming year, a development that could affect how much they raise interest rates in coming years. They also debated the costs and benefits of allowing the economy to run hot and discussed how they might need to later raise rates to a level that would deliberately slow growth, according to minutes of their March 20-21 meeting, which were released Wednesday. The minutes highlight just how much Fed officials’ outlook has changed since last fall, when surprisingly slow inflation raised questions about the need for continued rate increases. Fed officials last month believed the economy would run hot, or grow faster than its sustainable rate, for the next few years, the minutes said. In March, “all participants agreed that the outlook for the economy beyond the current quarter had strengthened in recent months,” the minutes said. In addition, “all participants expected inflation on a 12-month basis to move up in coming months.” The outlook has shifted since late last year because Congress and the White House approved tax cuts and a boost in federal government spending for this year and next. The economy hasn’t often had such fiscal stimulus when unemployment is so low. (WSJ) U.S. Budget Deficit Widens on Lower Revenue, Higher Spending The U.S. government’s budget deficit widened in the first half of its fiscal year as spending rose faster than revenue compared with the first six months of fiscal 2017. The deficit, or the difference between the amount of money the government spent and what it took in, stood at $599.71 billion in October through March, the Treasury Department said Wednesday. That was 14% higher than the deficit during the same period a year earlier. The federal fiscal year ends Sept. 30. Wednesday’s report showed the federal budget deficit was $208.74 billion in March, up 18% from the same month a year earlier. Government revenue fell 3% in March compared with a year earlier, while spending grew 7%. The revenue drop may reflect the package of corporate and individual tax cuts that Congress enacted in late 2017. In March, revenue from individual tax withholding dropped 2% from a year earlier, and gross corporate tax revenue dropped 41% from March 2017. (WSJ) Page 6 of 8
  9. 12-Apr-18 U .S. Core Inflation Accelerates as Mobile-Phone Drag Fades A key measure of U.S. inflation accelerated to the highest in a year as a drag from mobilephone costs faded, bearing out the Federal Reserve’s forecast for a pickup in price gains. Excluding food and energy, the core consumer price index rose 2.1% from March 2017 after a 1.8% gain in the year through February, a Labor Department report showed. The gauge was up 0.2% from the prior month, matching the median estimate of economists. Including all items, the CPI was down 0.1% from February on a drop in gasoline costs, with the index up 2.4% from a year earlier, also the most in a year. The core CPI’s pickup will help reinforce the view of policy makers that inflation had been weighed down by transient factors such as the unusual weakness in the cost of wireless-phone services. The acceleration will reinforce Fed expectations that its preferred gauge of inflation -- a separate consumption-based figure from the Commerce Department -- is gradually approaching its 2% goal. (Bloomberg) Trump Looks to Assuage Trade Critics With Farm Package The Trump administration is seeking to blunt domestic opposition to its trade policies with a relief package for farmers affected by the U.S. trade spat with China, say officials involved in the discussions. The aid package, which could climb into the billions of dollars, is still being developed. Agriculture and congressional officials are examining Depression-era programs like the Commodity Credit Corp., which was created in 1933 to stabilize farm incomes, and which permits borrowing of as much as $30 billion from the Treasury to finance its activities. Using the CCC would also give the administration an existing program to tap, rather than having to devise something new that would need to clear Congress. These programs haven’t traditionally been used in trade fights, but Congress has started to clear the way for the CCC to be tapped. Last month, lawmakers lifted restrictions that, until now, stood in the way of the Agriculture Department using a special price-support program to aid farmers. The change, tucked into a sweeping, $1.3 trillion spending bill, reversed years of restrictions that had prevented the CCC from supporting farm prices or buying surplus products. (WSJ) Europe and Uni ted Kingdom UK Factory Output Drops Unexpectedly in February British manufacturing output fell unexpectedly in February, its first drop in almost a year, according to official figures that added to signs the economy may have slowed in the first quarter. The data, released on Wednesday along with figures for overseas trade, also showed another sharp drop in construction output, defying expectations for a small rebound after a severe downturn in January. The pace of economic growth slowed slightly in 2017 as higher inflation caused by the fall in sterling after the Brexit vote hurt consumers, although some exporters have gained from the weaker pound and the stronger euro zone economy. Overall, the data mostly chimed with business surveys that suggest Britain’s economy cooled further in early 2018, weighed down in part by snow storms in late February and early March. Manufacturing output, which was a bright spot last year thanks to the strong global economy, fell 0.2% month-on-month in February after a downward revision showed it stagnated in January, the Office for National Statistics said. That marked the first drop since March 2017 and was worse than the consensus in a Reuters poll of economists that pointed to a 0.2% rise. Manufacturing output was 2.5% higher than its level in February 2017, again less than the 3.3% Reuters poll consensus. The subdued output figures will be of interest to Bank of England officials who are widely expected to raise interest rates next month. (Reuters) UK Visible Trade Deficit Narrows in February The UK visible trade deficit narrowed to a 5-month low in February, the Office for National Statistics said. The trade in goods showed a shortfall of GBP 10.2 billion in February versus a GBP 12.2 billion deficit posted in January. This was the lowest shortfall since last September. In the same period of 2017, the visible trade gap totaled GBP 10.9 billion. The expected level of deficit was GBP 11.9 billion. The visible deficit with the EU narrowed by GBP 2.9 billion to GBP 94.4 billion and with non-EU countries widened by GBP 1.1 billion to GBP 41.4 billion Page 7 of 8

(RTT) Bad Weather Cut GDP Growth to +0.2% in First Quarter - NIESR Estimate Heavy snow in late February and early March is likely to have caused British economic growth to halve in the first three months of the year to 0.2%, the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) said on Wednesday. Official figures showed the economy grew 0.4% in the last three months of 2017. February factory and construction data released earlier on Wednesday were weak, and first-quarter gross domestic product data is due on April 27. “We estimate that economic growth nudged lower to 0.2% in the first quarter of 2018. The main reason for the weakness was severe weather in March which is likely to have disrupted activity in all major sectors,” NIESR economist Amit Kara said. Past experience of snowy weather in 2010 also suggested early estimates of GDP were likely to be revised more than normal, he added. (Reuters) ECB's Draghi Sees Small Effect of Trade Tariffs, Fears Retaliation The direct effect on the euro zone economy of trade tariffs announced by the United States and China is small but they can hurt investor confidence and trigger retaliation, the head of the European Central Bank said on Wednesday. “The direct effects are not big,” Mario Draghi told students at an ECB events. “In the end the key issue is retaliation.” (Reuters) Share Buy-Back 11-April 2018 Company AMPROP E&O FIMACOR GLOMAC INCKEN KFIMA N2N P&O SIGN SNTORIA SYSCORP TEXCYCL Bought Back 42,800 40,000 39,500 2,000 12,500 10,000 229,700 8,000 155,900 40,000 10,000 25,000 Price (RM) Hi/ Lo (RM) 0.69/0.68 1.44 1.98/1.97 0.51 0.69/0.675 1.47 0.84/0.82 1.08/1.06 0.53/0.515 0.60/0.58 0.26 0.70/0.68 0.70/0.68 1.44/1.43 1.98/1.97 0.51/0.495 0.69/0.675 1.48/1.46 0.84/0.81 1.08/1.06 0.535/0.515 0.60/0.585 0.265/0.255 0.70/0.66 Total Treasury Shares 17,306,000 27,863,747 4,462,100 6,914,300 17,564,300 426,300 12,189,300 11,734,293 11,893,000 7,331,000 4,443,800 1,738,050 Source: Bursa Malaysia Disclaimer The information in this report has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable.

ECONOMIC UPDATE Thursday , April 12, 2018 FBMKLCI: 1,869.89 THIS REPORT IS STRICTLY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY* Mal ays ian Ec ono my Moderate Output in February 2018 Shazma Juliana Abu Bakar Farid Burhanuddin Tel: +603-2167 9608 Tel: +603-2167 9220 shazma@ta.com.my farid@ta.com.my www.taonline.com.my February IPI Review § Malaysia’s Industrial Production Index (IPI) rose by 3.0% YoY in February 2018, below consensus estimates of 3.3% YoY (TA’s forecast: +3.4% YoY). Namely, manufacturing and electricity grew by 4.7% YoY and 2.8% YoY respectively while mining index posted a decrease of 1.6% YoY. On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, IPI declined by 4.4%, partly due to lesser working days as compared in January. The weaker growth is also in line with weak exports growth, which declined by 2.0% YoY, the first contraction since October 2016. We noted that the IPI growth in January 2018 was revised higher to 5.4% YoY (initial: 3.0% YoY) following adjustments in the manufacturing output. § Details showed that the manufacturing output (68.3% of total IPI) moderated to 4.7% YoY during the month, as compared with a revised growth of 6.9% YoY in January 2018. The moderation in the sector was mainly due to lower output across the board. Particularly, output of electrical & electronics (E&E) products softened to 5.4% YoY as compared to 5.7% YoY previously; non-metallic mineral products, basic metal and fabricated metal products (Feb18: +5.0% YoY; Jan18: +6.1% YoY); textiles, wearing apparel, leather & footwear product (Feb18: +7.1% YoY; Jan18: +9.5% YoY); transport equipment & other manufactures (Feb18: -2.0% YoY; Jan18: +3.5% YoY); and food, beverages & tobacco (Feb18: +2.1% YoY; Jan18: +16.1% YoY). On a MoM basis, manufacturing output declined by 5.1% vs January’s 6.5% MoM. § Meanwhile, output in the mining sector (25.1% of total IPI) fell by 1.6% YoY in February 2018, pulled down by weaker natural gas production by -3.5% YoY (Jan18: +1.5% YoY) and lower output of crude oil (Feb18: +0.5% YoY; Jan18: +1.6% YoY). On a monthly basis, mining output contracted by 3.5% MoM s.a. § Electricity production (6.6% of total IPI) in February 2018 increased by 2.8% YoY (Jan18: +4.3% YoY). As compared to December 2017, the output declined by 0.7% MoM s.a. Manufacturing Sales Performance § Mirroring the moderation in production during the month, total sales value of manufacturing, posted a slower growth of 4.9% YoY (-8.0% MoM) to RM62.3bn (Jan18: +10.8% YoY). Lower sales were recorded for most of the products such as the E&E (Feb18: +5.7% YoY; Jan18: +14.7% YoY); petroleum, chemical, rubber & plastic (Feb18: +6.6% YoY; Jan18: +10.9% YoY); food, beverage & tobacco (Feb18: +0.8% YoY; Jan18: +9.1% YoY); wood, furniture, paper products & printing (Feb18: -2.3% YoY; Jan18: +3.7% YoY); as well as transport equipment & other manufacturers (Feb18: +2.4% YoY; Jan18: +4.4% YoY). In January 2018, the growth for manufacturing sales were unchanged at 10.8% YoY. § Meanwhile, total employees engaged in the manufacturing sector during the month were 1,065,849, an increase of 22,900 persons (or +2.2% YoY), but dropped by 0.4% MoM. With that, productivity rose by 2.0% YoY in February 2018 (Jan18: +8.0% YoY) but declined by 7.6% on a monthly basis. Page 1 of 3
  14. 12-Apr-18 Outlook § The cumulative index for the period of January-February 2018 (2M18) was 4.3% against the same period in 2017. Namely, manufacturing and electricity sector registered a growth of 5.8% YoY and 3.6% YoY, respectively while mining index were flat. § Expectation of slower manufacturing output in 1Q18, coupled with other downside risks, such as rising trade protectionism in the US and China, could affect the manufacturing as well as economic performance of our country going forward. In fact, the headline Nikkei Malaysia Manufacturing PMI fell further to 49.5 in March 2018 from 49.9 in the prior month with output declined for the first time in eight months amid reports of poor demand conditions. Moreover, the new export orders index registered at a 15-month low, highlighting falling demand for Malaysian goods in international markets. § Maintain our 1Q18 GDP forecast at 5.3% YoY (vs. 5.9% YoY in 4Q17 and 5.6% YoY in 1Q17).

  16. COMPANY UPDATE Thursday , April 12, 2018 FBMKLCI: 1,869.89 Sector: Oil & Gas THIS REPORT IS STRICTLY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY* Sapura Energy Bhd TP: RM0.84 (+29.2%) Last Traded: RM0.65 SK408 Phase 1 Gets Formal Green Light Kylie Chan Sze Zan Tel: +603-2167 9601 Buy kyliechan@ta.com.my The News Sapura Energy Berhad (SAPE) and its partners, PETRONAS Carigali and Sarawak Shell have taken Final Investment Decision (FID) to develop the Gorek, Larak and Bakong fields as Phase 1 in the SK408 Production Sharing Contract (PSC). The FID follows the Field Development Plan approval from PETRONAS and concurrently, the signing of the Gas Sales Agreement (GSA) for the said project. The fields will be developed as three separate wellhead platforms tied back to the existing processing facility and to the Bintulu MLNG complex. SAPE and Sarawak Shell are the field development and production operator of Larak & Bakong and Gorek fields respectively. The fields under the SK408 gas field development project are part of the discoveries made by SAPE in its 2014 drilling campaign. Our Take We are positive on the formalization of SK408 Phase 1’s FID and GSA, although this has been well flagged to the market. Similar to SAPE’s maiden field development project (SK310 B15), we do not expect project details to be unveiled for this new project, given high levels of secrecy surrounding Petronas PSC contracts. However, assuming a 2-year development plan, we can expect earnings contribution from this project to begin from FY21 onwards. This is in-line with management’s target of first gas for SK408 Phase 1 in CY19/20. www.taonline.com.my Share Information Bloomberg Code SAPE MK Stock Code 5218 Listing Main Market Share Cap (mn) 5,992 Market Cap (RMmn) 3,895 Par Value (RM) 1.00 52-wk Hi/Lo (RM) 2.10/0.40 12-mth Avg Daily Vol ('000 shrs) 47,881 Estimated Free Float (%) 56 Beta 2.81 Major Shareholders (%) Sapura Holdings - 15.9 KWAP - 7.2 Forecast Revision (%) FY19 Forecast Revision (%) Core Net Profit (RM mn) 0.0 FY20 0.0 (102.0) 121.4 Consensus (57.0) 142.8 TA/Consensus (%) 179.0 85.0 Previous Rating Buy (Maintained) Financial Indicators FY19 Net Debt/Equity (x) FY20 1.6 ROA (%) (0.3) ROE (%) (1.1) 1.6 0.4 1.3 NTA/Share (RM) 0.2 0.3 P/NTA (x) 2.7 2.5 Share Performance Management had earlier provided guidance that SK408 Phase 1 will incur a net development capex of USD200mn (RM800mn) in 2018-20. Additionally, similar to the previous year, SAPE will not increase borrowings in FY19, and shall finance the E&P capex (FY18: RM890mn) internally. We believe this is viable as SAPE’s near term liquidity and balance sheet (net gearing: 1.6x) remain manageable, underpinned by healthy operating cash flows (FY18: RM1bn, FY17: RM3.1bn). Furthermore, FY19 cashflows are expected to receive a significant boost from SK310 B15, which started production recently in Oct-17. Price Change (%) SAPE FBMKLCI 1 mth 38.7 1.5 3 mth (25.9) 3.0 6 mth (55.5) 6.5 12 mth (69.1) 7.8 (12-Mth) Share Price relative to the FBMKLCI We believe the timing of this project hits a sweet spot, as it capitalizes on the current low cost environment in upstream development. Meanwhile, fast forward 2 years later, this project will benefit from the recovery in oil price. Furthermore, SAPE’s Engineering & Construction (E&C) fleet is currently underutilized. Therefore, development of Phase 1 SK408 may provide working opportunities to boost SAPE’s E&C orderbook. Source: Bloomberg Page 1 of 4
  17. 12-Apr-18 We are positive on SAPE ’s active momentum in the upstream E&P (Exploration & Production) space in recent months, thus enabling the group to capitalize on oil price’s nascent recovery. This includes: 1) farm-in agreements to five offshore exploration permits within the Taranaki Basin at New Zealand, and 2) award of Block 30 in Sureste Basin in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). Impact Maintain forecasts. Valuation In light of the Group’s positive traction in the E&P space, we tweak our valuation of SAPE’s Adjusted Book Value (BV) per share, by lowering discounts on: 1) Goodwill: 10% (previous: 30%), and 2) Trade Receivables: 10% (previous: 20%). As a result, our CY18 Adjusted BV/share is raised to RM1.40 (previous: RM1.09) based on CY18 Book Value, net of the above items and Other Intangible Assets. SAPE’s E&P assets have high monetization potential, and renders the stock a proxy to oil price recovery. To recap, SAPE has O&G net reserves and resources totalling 253mn boe. SK310 B15, which recently commenced production in Oct-17, is set to deliver maiden profits in 1QFY19. Meanwhile, EBITDA oil breakeven price for PM323 remains low at USD3035/bbl. Both fields generate immediate cashflow to fund development capex required by SAPE’s E&P assets in Malaysia, New Zealand and Mexico. Maintain Buy on SAPE with revised TP of RM0.84 (previous: RM0.65) based on unchanged 0.6x CY18 Adjusted P/B. Aside from being an oil price recovery play, other catalysts include: 1) potential listing of SAPE’s E&P assets may unlock value and raise significant cash, and 2) earnings upside due to substantial depreciation savings (USD40mn p.a.) from FY18’s major kitchen sinking exercise.

- The table above is a compilation of actively traded stocks with some popular technical indicators. The technical BUY/SELL signals on the last four columns are auto generated; the first two being existing or recent signals while the last two represent a signal change from BUY to SELL or the reverse, otherwise no change is indicated by a dash. INTERPRETATION OF TECHNICAL INDICATORS: Bollinger Bands: Variable width bands that narrow during less volatile periods and widen during more volatile periods. As a general rule, in a bearish trend, traders should buy when share price touches the lower band and exit when price touches the middle band. The reverse is true in a bullish trend, ie. Buy when price touches the middle band and sell when price touches the upper band. Momentum traders tend to buy on price breakouts above the upper band, and sell when price breaks down below the lower band. 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI): A reading below 30 is considered oversold, above 70 is overbought. A rise above 50 with a corresponding share price surge above the 30-day moving average should be taken as a bullish move with good short-term upside potential. A fall below 50 and a simultaneous dip below the 30-day average is bearish and imply further near-term downside risk. Moving Averages: A stock’s short-term trend is bullish if share price stays above the 10-day moving average, and bearish if it stays below. The medium-term trend is positive if share price stays above the 30-day average, and negative if it remains below. A longer-term uptrend is intact if share price sustain above the 50-day average, and is deemed broken if it breaches below this level. Directional Movement Indicator (DMI): The DMI is an indicator of trend strength. A positive DMI difference (DMI diff) value is bullish and indicate a higher DI+ vs. DI-, while a negative DMI diff is bearish due to a lower DI+ vs. DI- (DMI diff = DI+ minus DI-). A crossover of DI+ above DI- triggers a BUY signal, while a SELL signal is flashed when the DI+ crosses below the DI-. The Average Directional Movement Index (ADX) indicates the strength of a trend, whether it is up or down. The higher the value of ADX, the stronger the trend. An ADX value above 25 suggests a trending market or stock, while a value below 20 signal congestion or absence of trend. Daily Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD): The MACD diff value is derived from the difference between the MACD line (the 12-day EMA minus the 26-day EMA) and the MACD signal line (the 9-day EMA of the MACD). A positive MACD diff value is bullish, while a negative MACD diff is bearish. A BUY signal is generated when the MACD diff rises above zero, and SELL signal sparked when the MACD diff value falls below zero. Page 1 of 4

Money Flow (MF) Calculation The value of money flow is set to zero at the start of the trading day. When a trade is performed, its price is compared to the price of the previous trade (the first trade of the day is compared to the previous day's close). If the prices differ, the money associated with the trade (price times number of shares) is added to or subtracted from the money flow. Additions (inflows, buys) are done on upticks; subtractions (outflows, sells) are done on downticks. Daily Money Flow (DMF) Interpretation In general, money flow trends confirm price trends. As prices rise, money flows are usually positive. As prices fall, money flows are usually negative. A divergence, however, between money flow and price trend can be a signal of a future price trend change. For example, a falling stock price with a positive money flow (IN) can indicate a future rally in the price of the stock. Conversely, a rising stock price with a negative money flow (OUT) implies potential correction in the stock price. Page 3 of 4

This is a good watch list for momentum traders looking for short-term BUY ideas, as they are laggards with good upside potential towards the upper Bollinger band or higher to TAKE PROFIT/SELL. Caveat: Some stocks may continue to stay range bound and trade sideways, hence traders should refer to their respective charts to spot accumulation (volume growth) or breakout patterns. INTERPRETATION OF TECHNICAL INDICATORS: Moving Averages: A stock’s short-term trend is bullish if share price stays above the 10-day moving average, and bearish if it stays below. The medium-term trend is positive if share price stays above the 30-day, and negative if it remains below this average. 14-day RSI: A reading below 30 is considered oversold, above 70 is overbought. A rise above 50 with a corresponding share price surge above the 30-day SMA should be taken as a bullish move with good short-term upside potential. A fall below 50 and a simultaneous dip below the 30-day SMA is bearish and imply further near-term downside risk. Bollinger Bands: Variable width bands that narrow during less volatile periods and widen during more volatile periods. As a general rule, in a bearish trend, traders should buy when share price touches the lower band and exit when price touches the middle band. The reverse is true in a bullish trend, ie. Buy when price touches the middle band and sell when price touches the upper band. Momentum traders will buy on price breaks above the upper band, and sell when price breaks below the lower band. Alternatively, a sharp move that originates at one band tends to go all the way to the other band, a useful observation when projecting price targets. Page 1 of 2
  26. *Note: To qualify in the breakout list below, the first sorting criteria is stock price must close ABOVE the upper Bollinger Band, followed by a second criteria that trading volume for the day must be significantly higher than the 20-day average volume, which signal a bullish breakout. Caveat: We would caution momentum traders that a highly overbought 14-day RSI reading (> 80) and share price pullback BELOW the upper Bollinger Band are early warning signals to exit buy breakout trades.

  30. 12-Apr-18 INTERPRETATION OF TECHNICAL INDICATORS : Bollinger Bands: Variable width bands that narrow during less volatile periods and widen during more volatile periods. As a general rule, in a bearish trend, traders should buy when share price touches the lower band and exit when price touches the middle band. The reverse is true in a bullish trend, ie. Buy when price touches the middle band and sell when price touches the upper band. Momentum traders tend to buy on price breakouts above the upper band, and sell when price breaks down below the lower band. 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI): A reading below 30 is considered oversold, above 70 is overbought. A rise above 50 with a corresponding share price surge above the 30day moving average should be taken as a bullish move with good short-term upside potential. A fall below 50 and a simultaneous dip below the 30-day average is bearish and imply further near-term downside risk. Moving Averages: A stock’s short-term trend is bullish if share price stays above the 10-day moving average, and bearish if it stays below. The medium-term trend is positive if share price stays above the 30-day average and negative if it remains below. A longer-term uptrend is intact if share price sustain above the 50-day average, and is deemed broken if it breaches below this level. Directional Movement Indicator (DMI): The DMI is an indicator of trend strength. A positive DMI difference (DMI diff) value is bullish and indicate a higher DI+ vs. DI-, while a negative DMI diff is bearish due to a lower DI+ vs. DI- (DMI diff = DI+ minus DI-). A crossover of DI+ above DI- triggers a BUY signal, while a SELL signal is flashed when the DI+ crosses below the DI-. The Average Directional Movement Index (ADX) indicates the strength of a trend, whether it is up or down. The higher the value of ADX, the stronger the trend. An ADX value above 25 suggests a trending market or stock, while a value below 20 signal congestion or absence of trend. Daily Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD): The MACD diff value is derived from the difference between the MACD line (the 12-day EMA minus the 26-day EMA) and the MACD signal line (the 9-day EMA of the MACD). A positive MACD diff value is bullish, while a negative MACD diff is bearish. A BUY signal is generated when the MACD diff rises above zero, and SELL signal sparked when the MACD diff value falls below zero.
