Right now, everything is looking bearish... globally, everyone is facing high inflation. In the US, unemployment just rose and the word stagflation has begun spreading. However, it is still too early to confirm that the US is indeed in stagflation. Regionally, everyhting is also looking bleak. China's monetary tightening could squeeze the tight market even more. Coming back to our shores, Malaysia is now facing high political risk and 'possibly' high inflation. Everything and I mean Everything!!! are pointing to more bearishness ahead.
But wait, if everyone is hyper bearish, should we be contrarians and trade the other direction? There are still the element of risk if one should trade against the trend. Nevertheless, the returns do outweigh the risks, in my opinion. I believe that the KLCI index will find support around the 1,200-1,213 levels. The Hang Seng Index to find support around the 22,000-22,400 level. STI to find support at 2,945-3,006. Shanghai should hold around the 3,000 level, or slightly below. I still believe that the bull will be back sooner rather than later.. Will update again when the regional indices start to move upwards again.
