The KLCI closed 5.11 points down at 1,717.36, off an early high of 1,719.27 and low of 1,713.92, as losers beat gainers 480 to 395 on reduced turnover of 3.3bn shares worth RM2.23bn. The local market should rebound today following the overnight rebound on oil prices and the less hawkish tone from the US Federal Reserve after it raised interest rates. Immediate uptrend supports for the index are revised lower to 1,705 and 1,690, representing the rising 30 and 50-day moving averages.

Gamuda holds a 60% stake in the consortium known as SRS Consortium. Its partners are Ideal Property Development Sdn Bhd and Loh Phoy Yen Holdings Sdn Bhd, which both own 20% stakes. (Bursa Malaysia / The Edge) Comment: This is the second extension and no reason was provided for the extension of the validity of the letter of award. We are not entirely surprised given the scale and complexity of this project, and the unconventional payment structure of the project. We have not factored in any contribution from this project given the uncertainty in the implementation of the project.

F&N pointed out the investment in the line was part of the over RM300mn capex budgeted for two years to ensure the sustainability of the group’s business for the future. The new line is expected to offer the group an estimated annual savings of RM2.8mn in logistics cost over the next decade. Within the 7.4-acre site, F&N has a carbonated soft drink (CSD) canning line, a CSD polyethylene terephthalate (PET) line, a cordial line, a bag-in-box (BIB) line and now we have a brand new UHT line. (StarBiz) Comment: We are not surprised by this news as this is in line with F&N growth strategy to have an integrated production line for costs efficiency optimization. The new line will add 3.0% more capacity to the total existing Malaysia soft drink operations, which prior to this has a total capacity of 112.0mn cases a year with a utilization rate of 85%. We have already accounted the amount of CAPEX in our model with an average of RM150mn annually between FY17-FY18 and funding is not an issue as F&N has been in a net cash position since FY14. Hence no change in our earnings forecast. with a maintained Sell call based on 21x CY17 EPS. Target price is retained at RM21.63/share.

  7. TA Securities 16-Mar-17 A Member of the TA Group News In Brief Economy Asia Indonesia Export , Import Growth Slowdown in February Indonesia's exports and imports expanded at a slower pace in February compared to a month earlier, as expected in a poll, data from the statistics bureau showed. Shipments from Southeast Asia's largest economy rose 11.16% on an annual basis in February to $12.57 billion. Consensus had expected a 15.19% growth. Imports rose 10.61% in February from the same month a year ago to $11.26 billion. Analysts in the poll had expected a growth of 13%. Indonesia's trade surplus for February stood at $1.31 billion, smaller than the revised $1.43 billion the country had in January. The poll had seen a surplus of $1.22 billion. (CNBC) China Set to See Steady Growth, Says Li China's economy is set to log steady growth and there is no scope for hard landing, Premier Li Keqiang said. Nonetheless, the economy faces significant external risks, he told reporters after the conclusion of the annual national legislative session. China targets about 6.5% economic growth this year, which is slower than the 6.7% expansion achieved in 2016. There are no systemic risks to China's financial system. Policymakers have a good reserve of policy tools if needed to avoid such risks, he added. Further, Li said China and the U.S. share common interest on areas like jobs, foreign exchange and security. China doesn't want to see a trade war with the US, Li said. (RTT News) Continued Capital Outflow from China to Constrain Monetary Policy, says Moody's Moody's Investors Service says that the likely persistence of capital outflows from China (Aa3 negative) over the rest of this year could constrain monetary policy and may lead to a more activist fiscal policy, if the government's growth target is to be achieved. "Moreover, if capital outflows persist, domestic liquidity conditions are likely to tighten further, with small- and mid-sized banks -- which are most reliant on wholesale funding -- feeling the greatest impact," says Michael Taylor, a Moody's Managing Director. "However, we expect most rated banks and non-financial companies to remain resilient both to the intensified application of capital controls and to a hypothetical further modest depreciation of the RMB," adds Taylor. Moody's conclusions are contained in its just-released report on China credit, "Sustained Capital Outflows Constrain Policy and Pressure the Currency, but Companies Largely Resilient". In his report on government work delivered on 5 March, Premier Li Keqiang stated that China will strive to maintain a stable currency within the global monetary system during year. (The Star) Japan Industrial Production Falls Less than Estimated Japan's industrial production declined less than initially estimated in January, latest figures from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry showed. Industrial production fell 0.4% month-over-month in January instead of a 0.8% drop estimated earlier. It was the first decline in six months. In December, production had risen 0.7%. Inventories dropped 0.1% over the month, while it showed no variations in the preliminary data. At the same time, shipments grew 0.3% in January, revised from a 0.4% decline seen in the flash data. On an annual basis, industrial production climbed at a faster pace of 3.7% in January, following a 3.2% gain in the prior month. Data also revealed that capacity utilization edged up 0.1% monthly in January, after 0.6% increase in December. (RTT News) Australia Consumer Confidence Steady in March – Westpac Consumer confidence in Australia showed little movement in March, the latest survey from Westpac Bank and the Melbourne Institute showed with an index score of 99.7 - up 0.1% from the February reading. That follows the 2.3% jump in February to a score of 99.6. But the index remains below the boom-or-bust line of 100 that separates optimism from pessimism. (RTT News) Singapore’s Unemployment and Layoffs Up Last Year, While Job Vacancies Fell On several counts, the labor market in 2016 went through its roughest patch in years. Page 5 of 7
  8. TA Securities 16-Mar-17 A Member of the TA Group Unemployment rose , and more people took longer to find work. Layoffs went up as well, continuing an uptrend since 2010. The number of job vacancies fell, lowering the ratio of job openings to job seekers. The bright spot was that employment growth for locals strengthened, as 11,200 more were in jobs at the end of 2016 compared to the start of the year, up from growth of just 700 the year before. These trends shown in the official fullyear data that the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) released largely confirmed the preliminary data released in January. The annual average unemployment rate last year rose to 2.1% overall, up from 1.9% the year before. For Singaporeans, it rose to 3.1%, up from 2.9%, while for Singaporeans and permanent residents combined, it rose to 3% from 2.8%. (The Straits Times) U.S. Fed Sees Two More Rate Increases in 2017 Federal Reserve officials still expect to raise short-term interest rates two more times this year after lifting them—and they see no major changes in their economic outlook. In economic projections released Wednesday following a two-day policy meeting, officials also penciled in three more quarter-percentage-point moves in 2018. They also see interest rates settling at their long-run average of 3% by the end of 2019, slightly sooner than they foresaw in their December projections. Officials took the first step by raising their benchmark federal-funds rate as expected by a quarter-percentage-point to a range between 0.75% and 1 %. Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari cast the only dissenting vote, saying he preferred to stand pat. The Fed’s new projections suggest officials remain confident the economy will evolve as they expect. Economic projections changed little from December, indicating that nothing has happened in the past three months to knock them off their outlook. Nine of the 17 Fed officials who submitted projections indicated three rate increases would be appropriate in 2017, up from six officials in December. Only three officials saw the need for fewer than three moves this year versus six in December. The latest projections are a sign that officials believe they are moving toward a faster pace of rate increases than in the past few years. The Fed began 2015 expecting to raise rates three times and 2016 expecting to raise them four times. But they ended up having to backtrack on those projections and made only one move in each of those years. Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen indicated in a March 3 speech that she expects a faster pace than in those earlier years. (The Wall Street Journal) U.S. Consumer Prices Rose 0.1% in February U.S. consumer prices rose further in February, the latest sign inflation is near the Federal Reserve’s target and likely clearing the path for higher interest rates. The consumer-price index, measuring what Americans pay for everything from cars to dental care, increased 0.1% in February from a month earlier, the Labor Department said. Outside of energy and food costs, so-called core prices rose 0.2%. The figures matched economists’ expectations and bolster the Fed’s view of underlying strength in the economy. Consumer prices have risen 2.7% over the past year, the biggest annual gain since the 12 months through March 2012. Core prices have risen 2.2% from a year earlier. Wednesday’s report showed most major consumer expenses are raising. Food costs climbed 0.2% from a month earlier. The cost of clothing and rent also increased. Energy costs fell 1% from January but were still 15% higher from a year ago. Prices of new used vehicles also fell from the prior month. Separately, the Labor Department said workers’ earnings grew modestly. Private sector workers earned an average 0.1% more a week, after inflation, compared with the prior month. Their earnings rose because of an increase in hourly wages and steady weekly hours. (The Wall Street Journal) U.S. Retail Sales in February Post Smallest Gain in Six Months U.S. retail sales in February posted the smallest gain in six months, indicating a tempering of the consumer spending that’s been carrying the economy.

  9. TA Securities 16-Mar-17 A Member of the TA Group four of the 13 major retail categories saw gains in February sales . Receipts dropped at electronics and appliances stores, apparel outlets and car dealers, a sign of more moderate consumption in the first quarter. While purchases may have been restrained by a temporary slowdown in individual tax refunds, robust confidence, healthy job growth and steady incomes may provide some fuel for a recovery in spending. (Bloomberg) New York Manufacturing Index Pulls Back Less Than Expected in March Activity in the New York manufacturing sector grew at a modestly slower rate in the month of March, according to a report released by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York y. The New York Fed said its business conditions index dipped to 16.4 in March from 18.7 in February, although a positive reading still indicates growth. Economists had expected the index to drop to 15.0. (RTT News) U.K. UK Unemployment Rate Drops to Lowest Level Since 1975 Britain’s unemployment rate has dropped to the joint-lowest level since 1975, but workers are facing a renewed squeeze on their living standards as wage growth weakens and inflation begins to bite. The official unemployment rate fell from 4.8% to 4.7% in the three months to January, while the employment rate held steady at a record high of 74.6%, the Office for National Statistics said. Unemployment also fell to 4.7% in 2005, but has not been lower than this level since the summer of 1975. The UK labor market has been resilient in the wake of the country’s vote to leave the EU last June, though the pace of job creation has slowed. The number of people in work increased 92,000 in the three months to January, less than the average growth of 137,000 per quarter between 2012 and 2015. Average annual wage growth slowed from 2.6% to 2.2% in the three months to January, the ONS said. After inflation, this meant that real wage growth was just 0.8%, the lowest level recorded since 2014. Real wages actually fell between December and January, though the figures can be volatile from month to month.

Nevertheless, we expect EWI to enjoy bumper earnings in FY18 and FY19, driven by lumpy revenue recognition of its London projects. We arrive at a fair value of RM1.34/share for EWI, based on 1.1x FY18 P/B after ascribing a 22% premium to the Malaysia developers’ average P/B of 0.9x.

  13. TA Securities 16-Mar-17 A Member of the TA Group Background Eco World International Bhd (EWI) is principally involved in property development in international markets outside of Malaysia. EWI owns a 75% stake in three on-going property development projects in London, UK and 100% stake in one on-going property development project in West Sydney, Australia. The combined GDV of these projects is estimated at RM13.0bn. See Figure 1 for EWI group structure. EWI is scheduled to be listed on 3 April 2017. Based on the IPO price of RM1.20/share, EWI’s market capitalisation will be RM2.9bn. Figure 1: EWI Group Structure Source: Prospectus, TA Securities IPO Structure The IPO is expected to raise gross proceeds of up to around RM2.6bn, entailing an offering of 2.2bn new shares. These new shares make up 89.7% of the enlarged issued and paid-up capital of EWI. The remaining 10.3% is held by Tan Sri Liew Kee Sin, the Executive Vice Chairman of EWI. Specifically, the IPO involves; 1) shares allocation to strategic investors namely Eco World Development Group Bhd (EW Bhd) and GuocoLand Ltd, holding 1.3bn shares comprising 54% in total; 2) a retail offering of 408mn new shares comprising 17%; and 3) an institutional offering of 449mn shares comprising 18.7%.

Experienced key management team with extensive track record EWI’s key management has over 20 years of relevant experience in the real estate industry both in Malaysia and internationally. The majority of EWI’s management team worked closely together in SP Setia for a number of years prior to joining EWI. In addition, the management team has a proven track record in completing the acquisition of prime development sites, such as the acquisition of Battersea Power Station site in Central London (while in SP Setia), and partnership with Ballymore Group to jointly develop three large scale residential projects in London. We believe such track record will provide EWI with a competitive advantage when prime sites are available to be acquired. 2. Backed by established property developers EWI is set to benefit from its partnership with its strategic investors (EW Bhd and GuocoLand). EW Bhd is a fast growing property developer in Malaysia with 8,052.7 acres of landbank across Klang Valley, Iskandar and Pulau Pinang and a combined total GDV of RM87.5bn. We believe the “ECOWORLD” brand is a highly sought after property name in Malaysia, which is evidenced by the total cumulative sales of RM6.8bn recorded by EW Bhd over its last two financial years. Through EW Bhd’s extensive network with 14 sales galleries spread across Malaysia as well as in Singapore, it will provide cross selling opportunities of “ECOWORLD” products. We understand that about 3.3% of the total EWI’s sales were attributable to cross-selling by EW Bhd. Meanwhile, we believe EWI could leverage on Guocoland’s track record in developing projects in Asia. We see potential ample co-investment opportunities with GuocoLand in property development, by pooling equity for acquisitions and/ or joint development, particularly in Singapore, China and the UK. As such, we are positive on the collaboration, as it will enable EWI to extend its development footprint without straining its financial resources. Page 4 of 9
  16. TA Securities 16-Mar-17 A Member of the TA Group 3 . Benefit from sustained demand for property in London and Australia EWI is expected to benefit from the projected shortfall in supply of residential properties in London and Parramatta, supported by sustained demand for residential properties in both cities resulting from growth in population and employment level as well as ongoing infrastructure development initiatives. According the Independent Market Research (IMR) Report, the supply of new homes in London has fallen drastically short of demand since the early 2000s. There were only 28,000 homes added to London’s housing stock in 2014/2015, which leaves a significant shortfall of 14,000 homes when compared to the London Plan’s revised minimum target of 42,000 additional homes per year from 2015 to 2025. Over to Australia, the record low interest rates and ongoing population growth are expected to continue to support growth in demand for dwellings. Future Plan - Achieving sustainable earnings growth The group intends to seek sustainable earnings growth by continually replenishing and growing its pipeline of projects through the acquisition of development sites or by entering into joint ventures with suitable partners. In terms of geographical preference, the group plans to grow its pipeline development in mature and economically vibrant markets, particularly in the UK and Australia market. In addition, EWI intends to have a spread of property projects at various stages of development and of varying construction duration, phasing and anticipated completion to ensure business sustainability and continuous revenue. To mitigate project execution risk, the group prefers to acquire projects which already have the relevant planning and development consents in place. Thus, this will provide the group with greater certainty and a quicker turnaround time from acquisition to launch. Risks 1. Project concentration risk One of the major risks to EWI relates to the group’s existing property development portfolio, which is relatively concentrated in London. The group’s property development in London accounts for roughly (i) 13.01 acres out of 14.19 acres (c.91.7%) of the total land area of all EWI’s property development projects and (ii) RM11.9bn out of RM13.0bn (c.92%) of the total estimated GDV of all EWI’s development projects. As such, EWI’s earnings will be severely affected by unforeseen events that will lead to deterioration in economic condition in the UK. Notably, London’s prime residential market is exposed to fluctuations in buyer sentiment and general economic pressures resulting from the Brexit Referendum. 2. Foreign currency risk EWI’s reporting currency is in RM whilst the functional and reporting currency of its subsidiaries and JVs are in foreign currencies, currently GBP, AUD and USD. As such, the group’s financial performance will be affected by fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates. Based on our sensitivity analysis, every 5% depreciation of the British pound would reduce EWI’s FY18-19 earnings by 56%. Financial Highlights From accounting perspective, revenue from the sale of property in UK and Australia can only be recognised upon physical completion and handover of vacant possession of the property. As such, the group’s FY15-16 pro forma revenue consisted of sales commissions derived from marketing services rendered by EW International to its EW-Ballymore JVs. Page 5 of 9
  17. TA Securities 16-Mar-17 A Member of the TA Group Based on the contractual agreement , EWI requires unanimous consent for all significant decisions over the relevant activities of EW-Ballymore Holdings Group (EW-Ballymore). As such, EWI’s 75% interest in the EW-Ballymore is accounted for not as a subsidiary but as a JV using the equity method of accounting. As a result, the group’s 75% interest in the results of the EWBallymore Holding Group is reflected in the line item “share of profit/(loss) in a JV”. Similarly, the assets and liabilities of the EW-Ballymore are not directly reflected in the group’s consolidated statement of financial position. However, its investment in the EW-Ballymore Holdings Group is accounted for in its asset line item, “investment in a JV”. EWI recorded RM41.7mn and RM59.7mn share of loss in a JV in FY15 and FY16 respectively. The losses related mainly to marketing related expenses, including sales commission fees and marketing costs related to the launching of the property development projects in London. Earnings Forecasts EWI is poised to remain in the red in FY17, largely derived from share of losses from JVs arising from mismatch between initial expenses incurred and revenue recognition for projects in UK, which are based on completed method. Nevertheless, we expect EWI to enjoy bumper earnings in FY18 and FY19, driven by lumpy revenue recognition of its London projects. Note that, EWI is expected to handover 2 Blocks out of 6 Blocks of London City Island Phase 2 and 1 Block of Embassy Gardens Phase 2 in 1H2018. Meanwhile, we expect earnings to grow 58% YoY in FY19, driven by completion of the remaining 4 blocks of London City Island Phase 2 and 1 Block of Embassy Gardens Phase 2 in 1H2019. Beyond our forecast horizon, Wardian London, and West Village, Parramatta are scheduled for completion in 1H2020. Our earnings projections are premised on the followings: 1) Overall take up rate of 90% during completion; 2) PBT margin of 20%; 3) Exchange rate of GBP1: RM5.44 and AUD1: RM3.33. Dividend Policy The group does not have a dividend policy at the moment. Nevertheless, we assume a dividend payout ratio of 25% in FY19, given bulk of the projects are targeted for completion in FY19/20. Valuation We arrive at a fair value of RM1.34/share for EWI, based on 1.1x FY18 P/B after ascribing a 22% premium to the Malaysia developers’ average P/B. We think this is justifiable considering EWI’s favorable prospect driven by strong management team and established branding. Meanwhile, our target price implies a FY18 P/E of 13x, which is at a 23% discount to the Malaysia developers’ average P/E of 15.8x. Page 6 of 9

  21. COMPANY UPDATE TA Securities Thursday , March 16, 2017 FBM KLCI: 1,717.36 Sector: Manufacturing A Member of the TA Group MENARA TA ONE, 22 JALAN P. RAMLEE, 50250 KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA TEL: +603-20721277 / FAX: +603-20325048 Karex Berhad TP: RM2.55 (+23.2%) Last traded: RM2.07 Opportunity Emerges from Recent Sell Down BUY THIS REPORT IS STRICTLY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY* Wilson Loo Tel: +603-2167 9606 wilsonloo@ta.com.my Looking beyond Karex’s muted financial performance in recent quarters, we anticipate improvements in subsequent quarters on the back of a recovering tender market and sustained traction from its own brand manufacturing (OBM) segment. Alleviating concerns of the continued ascend in natural latex prices in 1QCY17, management alluded that it will renegotiate higher average selling prices (ASPs) for long term contracts if their high prices persist. Nonetheless, we note that natural latex still represents less than 20% of the group’s cost. In view of the compelling upside from the stock’s recent decline since its 1HFY17 results release, we are upgrading our recommendation on the stock to Buy with an unchanged TP of RM2.55/share, pegged to a PE multiple of 30.0x against its CY18 EPS. Sight of a Recovering Tender Market To recap, Karex’s muted financial performance in recent quarters was partly due to sluggish demand from the tender market caused by governments and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) holding minimal inventory of condoms in view of the weakened purchasing power of their local currencies alongside the USD’s strengthening, as well as the surge in the refugee crisis which disrupted funding initiatives. A lull tender market is undesirable for the group as it represents an important distribution channel with government and NGOs procuring half of the world’s condoms. Positively for the group, better days are in sight with its tender segment contribution to overall revenue having improved by 8%-points QoQ to 37% in 2QFY17 on the back of the successful capture of tender awards. Going forward, management expects the recovery momentum to persist on expectations of governments and NGOs depleting inventory of condoms. As it is, the group has already started to see new emergency orders with shorter delivery times and we opine that capitalizing on these opportunities would not be an issue with plant utilization rates only at 60% in 2QFY17. Furthermore, it would be positive for achieving greater economies of scale.

  22. TA Securities 16-Mar-17 A Member of the TA Group Sustained Traction at the OBM Segment To date , the group’s efforts to bolster its OBM segment is evidently taking shape. While the segment remains the smallest contributor to overall revenue, note that its contributions have almost quadrupled from 4% in FY14 to 14% in 1HFY17, moving the group a step closer towards its target of 20% by 2020. Among others, this was the result of the group’s continuous marketing efforts for its ‘ONE’ brand in existing and newer markets (Malaysia) as well as the consolidation of acquisitions made in 2016. These acquisitions not only expanded the group’s brand portfolio but also presented synergistic opportunities for cross selling via new markets and distribution channels. For instance, with the acquisition of Pasante, it has facilitated the group’s imminent launch of the ‘ONE’ brand into UK via Superdrug, which is UK’s 2nd largest beauty and health retailer and among Pasante’s key customers. Looking ahead, we gathered that management does not discount the possibility of further strategic acquisitions and the group is in a comfortable to do so with its strong financial capacity.

Source: Companies, TA Securities Renegotiations for Higher ASPs if High Prices of Natural Latex Persists Acknowledging the continued ascend in natural latex prices in 1QCY17, management alluded that it will renegotiate higher average selling prices (ASPs) for long term contracts if their high prices persist. Nonetheless, we note that natural latex still represents less than 20% of the group’s cost. Thus far in 1QCY17, natural latex prices have increased by 13.3% QoQ to RM7.31/kg. Based on a conservative assumption of natural latex accounting for 20% of the group’s cost and no revision to ASPs, our sensitivity analysis suggests that net margins will be squeezed by about 1%-point for every 10% increase in natural latex prices. Notwithstanding this, we expect the impact to be cushioned as most of the group’s orders are short term in nature whereby ASPs are revised accordingly from order to order.

Valuation & Recommendation With the recent decline in Karex’s share price by 11.5% to RM2.07/share post release of its 1HFY17 results, we opine that buying opportunity has emerged. Hence, are upgrading our recommendation on the stock to Buy with an unchanged TP of RM2.55/share, pegged to a PE multiple of 30.0x against its CY18 EPS. Above all, we continue to like Karex for its manufacturing capabilities, growing OBM segment and healthy balance sheet. Page 2 of 3

  24. TA Securities ECONOMIC REPORT A Member of the TA Group Thursday , March 16, 2017 FBMKLCI: 1,717.36 MENARA TA ONE, 22 JALAN P. RAMLEE, 50250 KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA TEL: +603-20721277 / FAX: +603-20325048 US Economy Fed Raises Rates for Second Time in 3 Months; Signaling for 2 More Hikes in 2017 THIS REPORT IS STRICTLY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY* Shazma Juliana Abu Bakar Tel: +603-2617 9608 shazma@ta.com.my The Decision: • The US Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points in its March 2017 FOMC meeting and continued to project two more increases this year, signaling more vigilance as inflation approaches its target. That move brings the target for the federal funds rate – the overnight lending rate between banks – to a range of 0.75% to 1.00%. Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari cast the only dissenting vote, saying he preferred to stand pat. The previous rate increase was in December 2016, a month after Mr. Trump’s election. • The move was widely anticipated in financial markets with futures traders putting the probability at 100% recently. Expectations have climbed dramatically from 50% in early of the month. That followed robust economics and inflation data as well as hawkish comments from several Fed officials recently, including Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer and New York Fed chief William Dudley, who called the case for a March move “a lot more compelling.” Economic Performance and Outlook: • In a press conference, Ms Yellen suggested that the Fed’s economic and policy outlook had not changed substantially since December and emphasized that she was not going to rush to judgment about the impact of changes to tax and spending policy by Congress. • According to the accompanied statement, the Fed said that the US economy continued to chug along, expanding at a “moderate pace.” Real GDP is expected to grow by 2.2% in 1Q17 after expanding by 1.9% in 4Q16. Employers are also continue hiring, as evidenced in non-farm payroll data; consumers are spending; and businesses — the laggards in recent months — are starting to spend a little more, too. • The Fed also highlighted a recent increase in inflation after a long period of sluggishness. Prices are now rising at roughly the 2.0% annual pace that the Fed regards as optimal. The Fed, which had made faster inflation a central objective, said that it was now focused on stabilizing inflation. “The committee will carefully monitor actual and expected inflation developments relative to its symmetric inflation goal,” the Fed said in the statement. “The committee expects that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant gradual increases in the federal funds rate.” • Officials also remained confident that the US economy would evolve as they expected. Economic projections only changed a little since they last made December 2016, indicating that nothing has happened in the past three months to knock them off their outlook. Fed left unchanged their forecast for 2017 GDP growth at 2.1%. The median estimate showed the economy expanding 2.1% in 2018 and 1.9% in 2019, compared to 2.0% and 1.9% in the December forecast. - Inflation is expected to increase slightly faster in 2017, with core PCE to reach 1.9% in the fourth quarter of this year and 2.0% in both 2018 and 2019. The Fed’s preferred measure of inflation rose 1.9% YoY in January 2017, just shy of its target. Page 1 of 3 www.taonline.com.my
  25. TA Securities 16-Mar-17 A Member of the TA Group - Officials projected unemployment to finish this year at 4 .5%, unchanged from the December forecast. That’s a sign that they expect to overshoot their estimate for maximum use of labor resources, which they put at 4.7%, down from 4.8% in December. Unemployment was forecast to end 2018 and 2019 at 4.5%. The jobless rate was 4.7% in February 2017. 235,000 non-farm payroll positions were added during the month. Figure 1: Latest Macroeconomic Projections (2017 – 2019) Source: Federal Reserve Note: 1. For each period, the median is the middle projection when the projections are arranged from lowest to highest. When the number of projections is even, the median is the average of the two middle projections. 2. The central tendency excludes the three highest and three lowest projections for each variable in each year. 3. The range for a variable in a given year includes all participants’ projection, from lowest to highest, for that variable in that year. Fed Still See Two More Rate Increases This Year; Three More in 2019 • An increased number of Fed officials are expecting to raise rates at least twice more this year, bringing the fed fund rate to 1.25% to 1.50% by year end. Only three of the 17 officials who submitted forecasts now expect the central bank to move more slowly. • The projections also put short-term rates between 2.0% and 2.25% at the end of 2018, implying three more quarter-point increases next year. Projections for rate increases edged up slightly after that, with the median expectation showing rates at 3.00% by the end of 2019.

  26. TA Securities 16-Mar-17 A Member of the TA Group Fed ’s Next Move • The next FOMC meeting is 2-3 May 2017. At the point of writing, the probability of an interest rate hike that month is low at 13.3%. The probability is higher for June FOMC meeting and onwards. Figure 3: US Interest Rate Probability Source: Bloomberg No Change in US Balance Sheet • The Fed also repeated their commitment to maintain their balance-sheet reinvestment policy until rate increases were well under way. Ms. Yellen said officials had discussed the process of reducing the balance sheet gradually, but had made no decisions and would continue to debate the topic. • The Fed boosted its portfolio, or balance sheet, after the 2008 crisis with several rounds of asset purchases aimed at stimulating the economy by lowering long-term rates. The central bank maintains the portfolio’s size—now at USD4.5 trillion—by reinvesting the proceeds of maturing Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities. Once it decides to shrink the balance sheet, the Fed plans to scale back those reinvestments to allow the maturing assets to run off. Our View • We do not foresee the increase in fed fund rate may slow down the US economic performance, judging from robust economic data to date. Setting aside concerns about Brexit and a string of potentially destabilising elections on the continent, Fed policymakers have judged that the strength of the economy is enough to override a series of rate rises. • Turbulence may come from the foreign exchange markets if the US dollar rises especially in the emerging markets including the Malaysia. However, we do not foresee Ringgit to deteriorate significantly as markets have factored in 25 bps increase in fed fund target rate. Future weakness from the potential additional hike in the fed fund rate could be shielded by improving economic fundamentals, especially exports. More details will be forthcoming from the Bank Negara Annual Report due next week. • We currently maintain our Ringgit forecast at 4.25. YTD, Ringgit has averaged 4.45 against the US dollar.

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
  29. Technical Comments : Any price weakness on Hock Seng Lee shares towards the low of 12/08/16 (RM1.58), matching the lower Bollinger band, would be good buying opportunity for rebound towards 38.2% FR (RM1.79), and FR 50%FR (RM1.86) with stronger resistance coming at 61.8% FR (RM1.93).Similarly, further dip on Sunway Construction shares towards the 76.4%FR (RM1.61), would be attractive to buy towards the peak of 02/21/17 100%FR (RM1.81) with confirmed breakout to target the 123.6%FR (RM2.01) and 138.2% (RM2.13), going forward.

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 mediumterm 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
  31. TA Securities A Member of the TA Group *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.

  34. TA Securities A Member of the TA Group 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.

  36. TA Securities A Member of the TA Group 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.

  38. 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.
