LOCAL MARKET
FKLI Apr month dropped 18 points or 1.18 to closed lower at 1512. The FBM KLCI ended the first quarter in negative territory, declining 7.83%, as ongoing market uncertainties and cautious investor sentiment pressured performance.
Overnight Dow Jones index dropped 11 points to closed slightly lower at 41989. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite ended higher on Tuesday after a volatile session, as investors remained on edge ahead of impending tariff announcements from the Trump administration. Financial markets have experienced heightened volatility in recent weeks, with investors weighing the economic impact of Trump’s extensive tariff plans, which have fueled concerns over a potential U.S. economic slowdown and rising inflation.
The actively traded FKLI contract transitions to Apr25 starting today. The market remains volatile, with the index staying within an upward channel on the daily chart. Key support is seen at 1502–1504, and holding above this range could offer a buying opportunity, potentially driving the index toward 1516–1517. However, a break below this crucial support may lead to further downside movement. Stay cautious of potential sentiment changes. Immediate support and resistance levels are identified at 1510 and 1517, respectively.

FCPO
FCPO Jun month jumped 107 points or 2.48% to closed higher at 4419. Malaysian palm oil futures extended their gains for the third consecutive session on Friday, driven by strong demand ahead of the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Fitr and firm performance in competing vegetable oils.

The actively traded FCPO contract on the daily timeframe continues to move within a broad sideways range, currently hovering near the key resistance zone of 4430–4435.

If the 4430–4435 resistance zone is breached, it may turn into a support range, making buying on retracement the primary strategy. Beware of any potential sentiment changes.
