Reuters – U.S. stocks fell on Wednesday, with healthcare and real estate shares losing ground a day after the Nasdaq Composite and the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit record highs.

The Dow briefly rose to within 15 points of 20,000, a level it has never reached, but relinquished that gain and spent most of the session at a loss.

U.S. stocks have rallied since the Nov. 8 election, with the Dow up 9 percent and the S&P 500 gaining 6 percent on bets that President-elect Donald Trump’s plans for deregulation and infrastructure spending will boost the economy.

Some investors worry that the so-called Trump rally has made stocks expensive and are concerned that legislators may resist strong tax cuts and other policies that could widen the federal deficit. The S&P 500 is trading at about 17 times expected 12-month earnings, well above the 10-year average of 14, according to Thomson Reuters Datastream.

“People are taking a pause and they want to see what’s going to happen,” said Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer for Cornerstone Financial Partners. “In his first 100 days in office, it will be interesting to see what legislation they can get through Congress and what regulations they will repeal.”

Providing the market with a degree of support this week, expectations of lower capital gains tax rates under Trump gave investors an incentive to not sell stocks until January, according to Zaccarelli as well as to Randy Frederick, vice president of trading & derivatives at Charles Schwab.

“If you can hold back on capital gains for two weeks, why not?” Frederick said. “There’s just no incentive to sell right now.”

So far in 2016, the S&P 500 has risen 11 percent, topping the 8 percent gain for the year that strategists predicted on average in a Reuters poll 12 months ago.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI dipped 0.16 percent on Wednesday to end at 19,941.96 points and the S&P 500 .SPX lost 0.25 percent to 2,265.18.

[12/21, 7:36 AM] Rosdi maybank: Reuters- The Dow and Nasdaq Composite rose to record highs on Tuesday in a rally fueled by optimism about U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s policies.

The Dow Jones industrial average ended just 25 points shy of 20,000, a level it has never breached, helped by a 1.68 percent gain in Goldman Sachs (GS.N).

U.S. stocks have been on a tear since the Nov. 8 presidential election, with the Dow up 9 percent and the S&P 500 gaining 6 percent on bets that Trump’s plans for deregulation and infrastructure spending will boost the economy.

“The market is focused on the Trump agenda, which is tax cuts, infrastructure spending and deregulation,” said Jeff Zipper, managing director for investments at Private Client Reserve at U.S. Bank in Palm Beach, Florida.

Some investors believe stocks have become expensive. The S&P 500 is trading at about 17 times expected earnings, well above its 10-year average of 14, according to Thomson Reuters Datastream.

The Dow’s 20,000 mark represents a major milestone on Wall Street and some investors believe that piercing that level would signal the recent rally may continue. The Dow first hit 10,000 in 1999.

Salam and Morning All

MACRO : Consumer and financial stocks powered today’s rally on the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), as the index closes in on the 20,000.00 milestone mark. Several trillion dollars in wealth have been created on the financial markets since the election of Donald Trump seven weeks ago, one analyst noted (investing. com).

MICRO : Market remained active yesterday despite sluggish index. Index managed to close green just before closing time. Ringgit is slowly depreciating. The sooner ‘they’ realised that they cannot fight the market force, the better. Let it take its’ natural course.

WHAT TO EXPECT? : Counters are active as we are approaching year end. Trending counters may continue until year end while some counters that just broke consolidation pattern should be in main focus. In addition, USD related companies should be your close list.

Below are my Watch List for SWING counters (21/12/2016)

EP : ABOVE 1.010
SL : BELOW 0.960

Malaysia Oil & Gas – Upgrade to POSITIVE
Author: kltrader | Publish date: Mon, 19 Dec 2016, 09:55 AM

Positioning ahead of a cyclical recovery

We upgrade the sector to POSITIVE, ahead of its cyclical recovery, on an improving risk-reward outlook. In our view, the sector has bottomed. We see two major catalysts. Firstly, OPEC and non-OPEC’s move to cut output will accelerate the demand-supply rebalancing of the oil market and spur capex/activities growth. Secondly, we foresee multiple benefits to Malaysia’s O&G operations should Saudi Aram co’s plan to invest a 50% stake in PETRONAS’ RAPID project materialize. For that, we lift earnings multiple peg to 12x (from 10x), resulting in TP/call upgrades. Key BUYs are Yinson, SAKP, Icon and KNM.

OPEC and non-OPEC’s slick move

The joint agreement by members of the OPEC (1.2m bpd) and several non-OPEC producers (0.6m bpd), a first since 2001, to cut oil output by 1.8m bpd from Jan 2017 for 6 months (to Jun 2017), reflects a major statement to a stabilizing oil market that will lead to a start of a cyclical recovery. The cut, which equates to 1.5 years of global consumption growth, if executed well, will: (i) accelerate the rebalancing of the demand-supply equation of the crude oil market, (ii) kick-start capex growth and (iii) support firmer oil prices. Our house view for crude oil price is an average USD55/bbl in 2017.

Saudi Aramco’s wild card

Talks of Saudi Aramco taking a 50% stake in PETRONAS’ RAPID project for an estimated USD21b, if it materializes, would be a major positive. For PETRONAS, it means: (i) the ability to realise value from its RAPID investment, (ii) the new capital can be deployed to jump-start its capex programs (i.e. upstream E&P), that have been affected by the cyclical downturn and (iii) its commitment and ability to pay dividends to the Government would remain intact. A higher capex program by PETRONAS translates into higher activity, eventually benefiting the upstream players and service providers.

Raised optimism for the next 6 months

We take the view that the sector has bottomed and is en route to a cyclical recovery. Operationally, day rates, asset utilization and order backlogs are at a trough. Cost cuts and cash flow preservation have been intense over the past 24 months. Enquiries are on the rise while the tender pipeline has been growing. Much of the negatives have been priced in and sector will re-rate as oil price continues to strengthen. With most stocks having de-rated and much of their values lost, it is, in our view, an opportune time to bottom-fish with much trading opportunities for a sector that has been sidelined and under-owned for a while. We have lifted earnings multiple peg to 12x, from 10x, leading to: (i) raised TPs on five stocks, (ii) two recommendation upgrades (to HOLDs).

Malaysia Oil & Gas – Upgrade to POSITIVE
Author: kltrader | Publish date: Mon, 19 Dec 2016, 09:55 AM

Positioning ahead of a cyclical recovery

We upgrade the sector to POSITIVE, ahead of its cyclical recovery, on an improving risk-reward outlook. In our view, the sector has bottomed. We see two major catalysts. Firstly, OPEC and non-OPEC’s move to cut output will accelerate the demand-supply rebalancing of the oil market and spur capex/activities growth. Secondly, we foresee multiple benefits to Malaysia’s O&G operations should Saudi Aram co’s plan to invest a 50% stake in PETRONAS’ RAPID project materialize. For that, we lift earnings multiple peg to 12x (from 10x), resulting in TP/call upgrades. Key BUYs are Yinson, SAKP, Icon and KNM.

OPEC and non-OPEC’s slick move

The joint agreement by members of the OPEC (1.2m bpd) and several non-OPEC producers (0.6m bpd), a first since 2001, to cut oil output by 1.8m bpd from Jan 2017 for 6 months (to Jun 2017), reflects a major statement to a stabilizing oil market that will lead to a start of a cyclical recovery. The cut, which equates to 1.5 years of global consumption growth, if executed well, will: (i) accelerate the rebalancing of the demand-supply equation of the crude oil market, (ii) kick-start capex growth and (iii) support firmer oil prices. Our house view for crude oil price is an average USD55/bbl in 2017.

Saudi Aramco’s wild card

Talks of Saudi Aramco taking a 50% stake in PETRONAS’ RAPID project for an estimated USD21b, if it materializes, would be a major positive. For PETRONAS, it means: (i) the ability to realise value from its RAPID investment, (ii) the new capital can be deployed to jump-start its capex programs (i.e. upstream E&P), that have been affected by the cyclical downturn and (iii) its commitment and ability to pay dividends to the Government would remain intact. A higher capex program by PETRONAS translates into higher activity, eventually benefiting the upstream players and service providers.

Raised optimism for the next 6 months

We take the view that the sector has bottomed and is en route to a cyclical recovery. Operationally, day rates, asset utilization and order backlogs are at a trough. Cost cuts and cash flow preservation have been intense over the past 24 months. Enquiries are on the rise while the tender pipeline has been growing. Much of the negatives have been priced in and sector will re-rate as oil price continues to strengthen. With most stocks having de-rated and much of their values lost, it is, in our view, an opportune time to bottom-fish with much trading opportunities for a sector that has been sidelined and under-owned for a while. We have lifted earnings multiple peg to 12x, from 10x, leading to: (i) raised TPs on five stocks, (ii) two recommendation upgrades (to HOLDs).

Reuters-U.S. stocks racked up new all-time highs on Tuesday and the Dow Jones industrial average ended fewer than 100 points away from the 20,000 mark as a post-election rally showed no signs of fatigue.

All three major indexes established record highs. The Dow has climbed about 9 percent since the Nov. 8 election, with gains fueled by expectations that President-elect Donald Trump will reduce taxes and regulation and stimulate the economy.

Nine of the 11 major S&P sectors rose, with the technology index’s .SPLRCT climbing 1.23 percent. The index had lost 0.5 percent on Monday after posting its largest weekly advance in a year last week.

“What we’re seeing is the rally broaden out a little bit from beyond the Russell 2000 and the financial sector,” said Michael O’Rourke, chief market strategist at JonesTrading in Greenwich, Connecticut. “If you’re bullish, tech does look attractive here.”

Apple (AAPL.O) added 1.67 percent and provided the biggest support to the S&P and Nasdaq, while IBM (IBM.N) rose 1.69 percent, helping lift the Dow.

Other tech giants Microsoft (MSFT.O) and Amazon (AMZN.O) were up 1.30 percent and 1.87 percent, respectively.

Some investors see the 20,000-level on the Dow as a psychologically important signal of broad positive sentiment.

Global News

U.S. stocks racked up new all-time highs on Tuesday and the Dow Jones industrial average ended fewer than 100 points away from the 20,000 mark as a post-election rally showed no signs of fatigue.

The U.S. dollar was steady against a basket of major currencies on Tuesday on uncertainty over whether the U.S. Federal Reserve would signal a slow or fast pace of interest rate increases at the end of a closely-watched policy meeting.

European stocks advanced, as investors endorsed UniCredit SpA’s 13 billion-euro ($13.8 billion) rights offer to put Italy’s biggest bank on a sounder footing.

Salam and Morning All

MACRO : A consensus among investors this afternoon that the Federal Reserve will indeed raise interest rates a few basis points on Wednesday helped drive the Dow to near 20,000. At 3:10 p.m., Eastern, the DJIA was at 19914.12, an increase of 0.59%, or 117.69 points.Investors are confident the U.S. economy is expanding, as witnessed by consumer confidence studies, jobs numbers, and factory output figures in recent weeks. The NASDAQ Composite market index was also up, as was the S&P 500 index (investing. com)

MICRO : Index managed to break 20MA resistant and currently maintain just above 20MA. Ringgit weakens againts USD.

WHAT TO EXPECT? : With strong US economy data, the Feds is expected to raise interest rate which is not so good for us. Index will need to maintain above 20MA to keep up with the short term rally momentum. A break above 1660 will be seen bullish. However, expect some sell off today as market is seen unstable.

Below are my Watch List for SWING counters (14/12/2016)
