M+ Global Market Update – 08Sep25
Still Into Solar And Data Center
US: With softer guidance from the Treasury Secretary, coupled with softer-than-anticipated jobs data, Wall Street closed the week on a weaker note. Traders could be looking at the possibility of a 50 bps rate cut this month, as the Greenback saw heavy selling after the release of August’s non-farm payrolls, which missed economists’ estimates by a wide margin of 75,000. The unemployment rate also edged higher to 4.3%. Hence, we expect the market to trade on a cautious note and will closely track (i) key inflation data, (ii) unemployment claims, and (iii) preliminary consumer sentiment. In the commodities market, Brent retreated towards 65/bbl, while Gold climbed to $3,592/oz. CPO prices remained stable at $4,448/MT.
MY: Given the broadly negative overnight performance in the US, we anticipate the local bourse will begin the week on a weaker note. However, solar-related companies should continue to see healthy buying support following the recent rollout of LSS5+. We view SLVEST, PEKAT, and NORTHERN as the major proxies riding on government initiatives like NETR, NEM, and LSS. Meanwhile, we expect the ongoing data center boom to provide healthy buying support for construction stocks. In this segment, we like JTGROUP and LSH Capital; the latter is deemed undervalued given its 6–7x order book coverage ratio. For a conservative play, traders should focus on consumer stocks like Spritzer, given its recent stellar results.

M+ Global Market Update – 09Sep25
Small Cap Index Experienced A Small Breakout
US: The market continued to stay positive amid tech-driven momentum, shrugging off the ongoing uncertain trade environment. However, last week President Trump commented that there will be a substantial semiconductor tariff that will be coming “shortly”, which may limit the upside potential of the current movements. In the near term, traders will be watching the CPI and PPI data to assess the FOMC decision next week. The current market is looking at a rate cut, with ~10% of market participants pricing in a 50bps cut. In the commodities market, both Brent and gold remained stable at USD65/bbl and USD3,629/oz, while CPO edged marginally higher to RM4,488/MT.
MY: Given the broadly positive overnight performance in the US, we anticipate healthy buying support to sustain momentum in the local index. The FBM Small Cap index has experienced a short-term breakout formation, which we think might be a bullish sign for more upside potential on a broader scale. Moreover, with the recent rollout of LSS5+, we believe SLVEST, PEKAT, and NORTHERN are direct proxies, riding on government initiatives. Meanwhile, we expect the ongoing data center and AI catalysts to provide buying support for construction and technology stocks. For a more conservative play, traders may focus on consumer stocks, supported by a stronger ringgit and domestic-led MyKasih cash handouts.

M+ Global Market Update – 10Sep25
Buying Support Remains Intact
US: While the US job market points toward slower growth, Wall Street has continued to recover, with 93% of participants now pricing in a 25bps rate cut next week. Moreover, though semiconductor tariffs remain a key focus, we believe Amazon’s new golden goose; the customization of semiconductor chips catering to customers’ specific needs, should be able to carve out a niche against NVIDIA and AMD. In the near term, traders will be tracking the CPI and PPI data, assessing the FOMC decision next week. In the commodities market, Brent remained stable at USD65/bbl while Gold closed higher at USD3,632/oz, with CPO edged lower to RM4,440/MT.
MY: Given Wall Street’s positive overnight performance, we foresee healthy buying support likely to continue its rebound momentum on the local front. Moreover, with US job revisions pointing to stronger rate cut bets, we expect WELLCHIP and EMCC to be the direct proxies, as Gold has surpassed $3,600; potentially driving higher redemption rate from their customers. The recent rollout of LSS5+ should support key solar players like SLVEST, PEKAT, and NOTHERN. For a more conservative play, traders may focus on consumer stocks such as LWSABAH with (i) contributions from its recent acquisition of Twinine, and (ii) a conservative ~RM1m monthly revenue from the 99SMART product placement, we see deem the stock to be undervalued, with margins standing well above its peers.

M+ Global Market Update – 11Sep25
Technology Stocks May Remain Attractive
US: While the cost of wholesale goods and services fell in August from a high base in July, coupled with a slower job growth environment; this should fuel further rate cut bets. The Dow, however took a breather as we believe market participants are taking a ‘wait-and-see’ approach ahead of inflation data due tonight. On the semiconductor segment, NVIDIA, AMD, ARM, and CoreWeave ended significantly higher, following Oracle’s bullish guidance. In the near term, traders will be tracking the CPI and unemployment claims, assessing the FOMC’s decision next week. In the commodities market, Brent edged higher towards USD67/bbl while Gold remained stable at USD3,640/oz, with CPO closed lower to RM4,420/MT.
MY: Despite the mixed overnight performance in the US, we expect selective buying momentum to persist on the local front. Also, the Technology sector could be boosted by strong overnight performances from tech giants. In view of softer PPI numbers, coupled with soft jobs data, we expect gold to trade higher for the near to mid-term, which would benefit WELLCHIP and EMCC. Moreover, we believe CBHB is trading at undemanding valuations, supported by healthy DC pipelines. For a more conservative and stronger ringgit environment, we believe LWSABAH offers upside given its recent Twinine acquisition.
Stocks to watch:
Technology: *EDELTEQ*, INFOM, *NE*, *TTVHB*, UWC

While most Asian markets traded on a firmer note, Thursday’s session on the local bourse saw profit-taking as traders pared exposure on Consumer Products & Services heavyweights. However, market breadth was neutral with gainers matched losers at a 1-to-1 ratio. With Oracle posting stellar results and upbeat CapEx guidance, the latter lifted local Technology (+1.60%) stocks, led by VITROX (+19.0 sen) and UWC (+27.0 sen), while Financial Services (-0.77%) declined the most.

M+ Global Market Update – 12Sep25
FOMC Meeting In Focus
US: Recent data indicates that the new 2025 tariffs are being passed through to consumer prices, especially for core goods, adding about ~$88bn in revenues. This is reflected in the latest US CPI data, which is fuelling anticipation of a rate cut next week and driving Wall Street to new highs. Also, odds of a larger half-point reduction have risen in recent days, especially after preliminary benchmark revisions showed US job growth slowing. Moreover, we believe AI Chips player like NVIDIA and AMD should be a direct proxy for growing AI Chip spending, with Oracle recently guiding another CapEx spending; reflecting that AI demand remains strong. Hence, the market could sustain its momentum in the near term.
MY: With Wall Street’s positive performance overnight, we believe Malaysia’s key index will continue its recovery after a slight pullback yesterday. With tech giants reporting healthy spending on AI chips, we believe buying support may spillover to local technology players as Technology sub-indices experienced a flag breakout. In view of a rate cut and a weaker Dollar outlook, the price of gold should remain elevated, benefitting WELLCHIP and EMCC. Lastly, with healthy project pipelines, a solid order book, and recent contract wins of relatively higher value, we deem CBHB to be trading at undemanding valuation levels.
Stocks to watch:

Consumer: FFB

M+ Global Market Update – 17Sep25
Higher Volatility Expected Ahead of FOMC Meeting
US: Wall Street slipped on Tuesday ahead of the Fed’s widely expected 25bps rate cut, due to profit-taking activities after a long stretch of rally. August retail sales rose 0.6% MoM, beating estimates of 0.2% and signalling resilient consumer spending, although focus remains largely on labour market softness. Meanwhile, optimism over US-China trade talks and progress on a TikTok ownership deal will help support sentiment. Hence, we expect Wall Street on a positive note ahead of the FOMC meeting, which would benefit sectors like REITs and consumer discretionary.
MY: Despite the negative overnight performance in the US, we anticipate the local bourse to kickstart the week positively ahead of the highly anticipated FOMC meeting. Meanwhile, KLK has launched its KLK TechPark, a 1,500-acre integrated industrial hub in Tanjong Malim, anchored by Chinese EV giant BYD’s 150-acre facility in Phase 1. The project has an estimated GDV of RM3.5bn over the next decade, and will be developed in phases from 2025–2035. We view this positively as it (i) diversifies KLK’s earnings beyond plantations and (ii) positions the group to benefit from Malaysia’s EV and high-tech supply chain ambitions. KLK has a consensus TP of RM21.47, implying an upside potential of 7.6%. Lastly, traders can look into SKBSHUT, which is pending a breakout trading opportunity.

Plantation: INNO, UTDPLT
