4. MARKET REVIEW AND OUTLOOK (For August 2011)
4.1 Market Review
For the month of August 2011, the KLCI plunged 102pts or -6.6% to 1,447 points.
Global markets came under heavy selling pressure due to the downgraded on US
credit rating and concern on Europe crisis.
In addition, the disappointing August financial results season weighed down on
many larger cap GLCs including Axiata, MISC, PetChem, CIMB, MAS and Proton .
4.2 Global Indicators
US Leading Indicators rose to 0.5% mom in July.
The US Conference Boards index of leading indicators, which provides an early
signal on the direction of the economy over the next three to six months, rose to0.5% mom in July, after moderating to +0.3% in June but lower than the +0.7% gain
in May.
The mom improvement in the leading index lifted the six-month annualized rate of
change to 6.0% in July, from +5.2% in June, but lower than the high of +8.2% in
March, suggesting that the pace of the recovery remains weak.
Global PMI for Services Moderated in August
Global PMI for services moderated to 52.0 in August after a short rebound to 53.0 in
July as compared to 52.2 in June
Despite the moderation, the reading suggests that global services activities
continued to expand even though at a moderate pace
US PMI of the ISM for non manufacturing picked up in August The PMI pick up in August of 53.3 was the first in 3 months and was higher than
the median forecast of 51.0, suggesting that consumer spending held up well
during the month even as unemployment remained high at above 9.0%
Foreign Fund Flow as at 9 Sept 2011
On the week ended as at 9 September, there was an outflow of foreign investment
to Asian equity amounted to USD2.0b, based on data from the 7 proxy markets
(Korea, Taiwan, Thai, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and India.)
There was a significant outflow from the Developed markets of Korea and Taiwan
amounted USD1.2b and USD1.1b respectively
In the local market, foreign investors remained net buyers for the second
conservative weeks, in thin trading. They bought equity amounted to RM85.2m oran average of only RM17m per day, compared with an average of RM170m the
week before.
Local institutions were on the sideline. Gross trade amounted to only RM5.5b
compared with an average for a full trading week this year of RM8.1b.

4.3 Local Indicator
GDP Slowed Down to 4.0%yoy 2Q 2011
The Malaysian real GDP growth slowing down to 4.0% yoy in 2Q 2011, comparedto +4.9% in the 1Q and +9.0% in the corresponding quarter of 2010.
This was due to a moderation in consumer and business spending during the
quarter
Private and public investment weakened in the 2Q, leading to a slower increase in
domestic demand. These were however, mitigated by a pickup in real export
growth, which grew at a faster pace during the quarter.
On the supply side, the manufacturing sector slowed down in the 2Q, due partly to
Japans earthquake that had disrupted the supply chain and production as well as
weaker domestic demand
The services sector moderated slightly, because of slower consumer and business
spending. The mining output contracted by a larger magnitude, while construction activities
weakened sharply during the quarter. These, however, mitigated by a strong
rebound in agriculture output.
Domestic demand expected to improve in the 3Q and gather pace in the 4Q.
Growth will likely be driven by higher business spending and resilience in
consumer spending.
CPI eased to 3.4% yoy in July 2011
The inflation eased to 3.4% yoy in Jul from 3.5% in June. The headline inflation
was lower than consensus (3.6%).
This was due to easing on transport prices but prices of food and housing and
utilities remained high.
BNM should continue to hold rates at 3.00% in Sep.
Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) is believed to keep the overnight policy rate (OPR)
unchanged at 3.00% for the second time in a row at its upcoming monetary policy
meeting on 8 Sep.

4.4 Market Outlook : Equity
Negative outlook from the US credit sentiment is spilling over to the global market.
We expect a downtrend movement in the market will continue in the next few weeks. Eurozone sovereign debt crisis remain a concern. Cautious on unexpected events
could cause the reversal of capital flow earlier than expected.
Domestically, news flow continue to be positive especially those sectors in the
Governments ETP, but may still be clouded by global developments.
Corrections may occur from time to time but equity market will be supported by high
liquidity.
At 1,477 points, FBMKLCI trades at 12.58x forward PE.
4.5 Market Outlook : IDS
Private Debts Securities (PDS) trading volume surged by 58.2% month-on-month
(MoM) to RM10.7 billion (July 2011: RM6.7 billion). The AA rating and AAA rating
segments continued to garner the strongest trade shares at 42% and 36%
respectively, while the A rating and non-rated segments were less popular but
volumes were close to the RM1.0 billion mark with 10.3% and 9% trade shares
respectively. Investors lack of confidence amid the U.S and Euro debt crisis can be
seen through recent trading trends, which skewed to safe-haven papers. Papers on
government related entities, banking and power sector dominated with
approximately 75% of total PDS trades in August 2011. Credit environment
deteriorated, as the positive/negative ratio declined from 0.50x to 0.20x MoM
Looking forward, government bonds yield expected to be remains supported withanticipation that BNM holds the OPR at 3.0% until end of this year as growth
concerns outweigh inflation risks. The central bank is believed to reassess its
monetary stance in November as it gauges the impact from the recent volatility in the
financial markets on the domestic economy.
To look for sovereign Islamic securities or high credit papers with the focus will be
more on new issues of Islamic corporate bond

5.MARKET REVIEW AND OUTLOOK (For September 2011)
5.1 Market Review
For the month ended September, FBMKLCI down 60pts or 4.1% to 1,387 points.Average value traded on Bursa in September eased 15% mom to RM1.81bn per day(RM2.14bn previously) as investors continued to de-risk as fears of a double-dip inEurope and US peaked.
Emerging markets outperformed other markets in July and August but succumbed toheavy profit taking and selling pressure towards mid-September
5.2 Global Indicators
The OECD Composite Leading Indicators (CLI) down for the 4 straight month.
The OECD composite leading indicators (CLI) continued to point to slowing
economic activity in most OECD countries and non-member economies. The OECD
CLI fell 0.50pt mom to 101.57pts in Jul (-0.43pt in Jun), marking the fourth straight

month of widening declines in major economies, suggesting slower economic
activities going forward.
The CLIs for the United States, Eurozone, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and the
UK show stronger signs of slower economic activity on the horizon. However,
Japans CLI points to a potential turning point in economic activity. This indicates
the advanced economies continue to worsen markedly.
The CLIs for emerging economies i.e. Brazil, Russia, India and China continued torecord negative monthly changes, suggesting a continued moderate pace of
economic growth. The CLIs for China and India contracted at a slower pace while
those for Brazil and Russia accelerated.
The CLIs for major Asian economies point the same trend. The magnitude of the
slowdown will differ from country to country, as some countries will cushion by
resilient domestic demand.
US Economy Grew At A Revised 1.3% Annualized In The 2Q
The US real GDP grew at a revised annualized rate of 1.3% in the 2Q, faster than
+1.0% estimated last month, underpinned by higher-than-expected contribution
from net exports, as exports grew at a faster pace than earlier estimate and importsgrowth came in at a much slower pace.
Slightly stronger-than-expected consumer spending, which grew by 0.7% in the 2Q
versus + 0.4% estimated last month but weaker than 1Q with recorded a growth of
+2.1.
Consensus expects the US economy to expand by 1.8% annualized in the 3Q
(down from the previous estimate of 2.1%), before inching up to +2.2% in the 4Q
(down from the previous estimate of 2.5%)
IMF Lowered Its Forecast Of Global Growth
The International Monetary Fund(IMF) slashed its forecast of global growth to
4.0% in 2011 and 2012, or by 0.3 and 0.5 percentage points respectively, from the
earlier forecast of +4.3% and +4.5% respectively made in June, as global
economic activity has turned weaker and more uneven, on top of falling
confidence, resulting in increasing downside risks.
This was attributed to cuts in the growth forecast of advanced economies to 1.6%
and 1.9%, from +2.2% and +2.6% in 2011 and 2012 respectively, due to the
weaker outlook in the Eurozone economy.
Eurozones Manufacturing And Services Activities Contracted In September
Eurozones Preliminary Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for the manufacturing
sector, which records manufacturing activity across all the major Eurozoneeconomies, fell to 48.4 in September, from 49.0 in August. This was the lowest
reading since August 2009, and marked the second straight month of contraction
in manufacturing activities, on the back of falling confidence in the economic
outlook in the region. This was due to a sharper decline in new orders, which fell
for the fourth consecutive month and at the steepest rate since May 2009 during
the month.
Eurozones Preliminary Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for the services sector,
slipped into a contraction at 49.1 in September, compared with 51.5 in August.
This was the lowest since July 2009, dragged down by a contraction in activity and
new business inflow during the month.
As a whole, the regions composite index fell to 49.2 in September, from 50.7 inAugust, marking the first month of contraction in more than two years. The
forward-looking indicators indicated higher risk of further contraction in the coming

months. This suggests that the Eurozone economy will likely stagnate in the 3Q,
after slowing to +0.2% qoq in the 2Q.
Foreign Fund Flow as at 30 Sept 2011
On the week ended, 30 September, there was an aggregate net inflow of foreign
investment amounted to USD1.2b from the seven proxy markets i.e. Korea,
Taiwan, Thai, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and India. The flow of data was mixed among emerging markets.
There was a net inflow to Indonesia, Korea and Taiwan amounted to USD844m,
USD502m and USD144m respectively.
Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines reported an outflow of USD118m, USD21
and USD49m respectively.
Locally, local institutions were net buyers while local retailers were net seller.
5.3 Local Indicator
Leading Index (LI) sustained at 1.9% yoy in July
The Leading Index (LI), which provides an early signal of the direction that the
economy is heading, sustained at a moderate growth of 1.9% yoy in July,
suggesting that the economy is likely to hold up well in the months ahead amid the
challenging global economic environment.
This was reflected in a decline in both the Bursa Malaysia Industrial Index (-0.1%)
and real imports of semi-conductors (-0.1%) during the month. Similarly, the real
money supply and expected manufacturing sales stagnated (0.0%) in July, after
growing by +0.2% and +0.1% respectively in June.
These however, mitigated by stagnation in the real imports of other basic precious
and other non-ferrous metals (0.0%) in July, compared with a decline of 0.2% inJune.
The number of housing permits approved, on the other hand, grew at the same
pace (+0.1%) in July, the same as in the previous month. Similarly, the number of
new companies registered fell at the same pace (- 0.1%) during the month, as in
June.
We believe that domestic drivers will support the continued expansion of domestic
demand.
Inflation eased to 3.3% in August
The headline inflation rate moderated to 3.3% yoy in August, marking the second
straight month of easing, from +3.4% in July and off a 26-month high of +3.5% inJune. This came in line with market expectations (3.3%).
This was primarily due to a moderation in the food & non-alcoholic beverage
prices.
Going forward, inflation will likely moderate but stay elevated at around 2.8% in
2012, compared with +3.3% estimated for 2011 driven by reduction in subsidies for
fuel and power tariff by government. As slower economic growth and demand will
likely to mitigate the impact. This likely be aided by lower commodities and crude
oil price
As a result, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) is believe to hold its OPR unchanged at
3.0% in the near future, as the downside risk to the Malaysian economic growth
has increased and the Central Bank has shifted its focus from inflation to growth.

Manufacturing Sales edged up to 10.8% yoy in July
Manufacturing sales edged up to 10.8% yoy in July, faster than the revised growth
of +10.0% in June. This was the fastest growth in three months but is unlikely to
sustain due to weaker growth prospect in the manufacturing sector resulted from
almost stagnant in exports of manufactured goods during the month.
Because of softening sales performance, manufacturering sector turned more
cautious in its recruitment of workers in July. In total, 1.019 million workers werehired in the sector for July, a decrease of 2,721 workers hired from previous month
of June .
Going forward, outlook of the economy will still clouded by fear that the Eurozones
debt crisis could not be resolved any time soon and it is showing signs of
worsening.
5.4 Market Outlook : Equity
Negative outlook from the US credit sentiment is spilling over to the global market
Eurozone sovereign debt crisis remain a concern. Market is driven by news flow of Eurozone and US.
Another correction is expected but with limited downside as market has scaled down
of worst-case scenario i.e. Greece to be defaulted.
Domestically, news flow continued to be positive:
News flow in construction (MRT, LRT, government land development)
Rising Petronas capex spending RM300bn over next 5 years
Mergers & acquisitions (M&A)
General election
Local market may still be clouded by global developments.
Local equity market will be supported by high liquidity
5.5 Market Outlook: IDS
In the last MPC meeting held in September 2011, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM)
maintained the OPR and SRR at 3.00% and 4.00% respectively. BNM is unlikely to
raise OPR further in near term as inflationary pressure had subsided and external
environment posed downside risk to the Malaysian economy, compounded by the
strengthening of US dollar.
PDS trading volume increased by merely 8% MoM to RM11.5 billion in September
2011. The AA segment continued to dominate trade with 45% trading share followed
by the AAA segment with 36% share.
The reopening of GII 11/16 auction drew strong demand with bid-to-cover ratio of 2.8x
compared with the last opening of 5-year GII with bid-to-cover ratio of 1.9x. The RM4
billion, 5-year GII sold at an average yield of 3.375%.
Looking forward, PDS trading will remain active, with net buying opportunities still
exist. Even amidst risk of slowing economic growth and corporate earnings, credit
conditions have not deteriorated. At end of September, a total of 33 facilities were
carrying Negative ratings outlook by either RAM Ratings or MARC, versus a total of
38 facilities at end December 2010.
To look for sovereign Islamic securities or high credit papers with the focus will be
more on new issues of Islamic corporate bond.
