G-7: Says strength of recovery depends on clean-up of banks' toxic
assets. In warning that the world economy could still take another turn for the
worse, the finance ministers and central bankers who met over the weekend in
Washington singled out the banks' impaired balance sheets as the biggest threat
to a sustainable recovery. Their remarks indicate it will be critical to follow
through on commitments to deploy taxpayer funds to buy distressed assets,
even as some gauges of financial stress ease. U.S. officials aim to finance the
purchases of as much as USD 1tr of loans and securities, and Germany is
pushing a plan to remove EUR 853b (USD 1.1tr) from balance sheets. (Source:

Mexico: Swine flu outbreak may deepen economic decline. The outbreak of
deadly swine flu may curtail tourism and compel shoppers to stay home, further
damaging an economy already reeling because of a U.S. recession that has cut
demand for exports. President Felipe Calderon closed Mexico City schools until
May 6, shut public events and declared emergency powers to order quarantines
to fight the flu, which has killed as many as 103 in Mexico. Finance Minister
Agustin Carstens said there’s “high potential” the outbreak will disrupt the
economy, with hotels and restaurants being the hardest hit. (Source: Bloomberg)

investor confidence increased this month on hopes that interest-rate cuts and
government stimulus packages will lift the economy out of its worst recession in

Europe’s largest, will shrink by 6% YoY this year. (Source: Bloomberg)

remains in a “crisis” as the slump in exports and industrial output take a toll on
employment and companies struggle to raise funds. The world’s second-largest

China: Current-account surplus may shrink, Zhou says. People’s Bank of
Outside Malaysia China Governor Zhou Xiaochuan said China’s current-account surplus “‘will no
longer be a serious problem” as the country’s economic-stimulus plan stokes
domestic demand. Zhou, speaking to reporters in Washington, said “hopefully
the current-account surplus is going to shrink” as China’s economic stimulus
plan begins to show results. “For the medium term, I think probably this will no
longer be a serious problem,” said Zhou, who was in Washington for the
International Monetary Fund meeting. China’s current-account surplus rose 15%
YoY to USD 426b last year, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange
reported last week. (Source: Bloomberg)
Hong Kong: Exports fall for a fifth month in March on global recession.
Overseas sales dropped 21.1% YoY to HKD175.5b (USD 23b). Hong Kong, a
trade hub for China, is heading for its first full-year contraction since 1998 as
exports and domestic demand tumble, forcing companies including PCCW Ltd.,
the city’s largest phone company, and lender HSBC Holdings Plc to cut jobs.
The world’s economy will shrink 1.3% YoY this year, the International Monetary

MARKET ROUNDUP
The KLCI traded much lower on broad-based profit-taking activities and the index settled at 980.12 with a
12.56-point loss. Some stocks that led the decline were GENTING, SIME, TENAGA, COMMERZ and ASTRO.
Technical Viewpoint: Due to its superb and positive price and very high volume trends recently, the KLCI is
in its Wave 4C “Flat” corrective rise from the 936.63 high (Wave 4A) and the 836.51 low (Wave 4B)
respectively. The Wave iii/4C move stalled at 996.80 high yesterday. A Wave iv/4C correction move is
underway for the next few days. The index may find some buying interest at its support levels of 957 and 974,
while the firm resistance areas of 980 and 996 will cap its rise for today.
With the heavy volumes and selling yesterday, the market is due to make a correction move ahead of the
Labour Day holiday. Some volatility could be expected for the next 3 days. However, the correction phase
could be short and swift as the upward momentum could be lost otherwise. With the Bearish Engulfing Candle
pattern that emerged yesterday, the KLCI could retrace to 965.95, 958.82 and 946.99 before heading higher.
KLCI Futures reading: The May contract moved to a 5.12-point discount to the KLCI. Traders will trade the
range for the KLCIF today with a profit-taking bias. Nibble at the support areas of 948.0 and 967.0 and take
profit at the 975.0 and 1,002.0-resistance zone.

Avg. Daily 3mth Vol. : 0.05m shares Upward Period : 2 days to 1 month
Recommendation
ADVENTA made a Wave 5 low of RM0.60 in Nov ’08, with grossly oversold and bullish divergent signals.
The stock is in a firm Wave 3 uptrend, confirmed by the positive crossover from the CCI, DMI, MACD,
Stochastic and Oscillator indicators. We feel that ADVENTA will rise and test the stipulated resistance and
target levels.
FIRM BUY (TECHNICAL) on dips for ADVENTA with good support areas at RM0.86 and RM1.07, with fine
potential to reach its stipulated resistance and target areas of RM1.24 and RM1.54. Stop-loss is at RM0.84.

Applicability of Technical Ratings
Technical ratings are purely based on price and volume-related indicators extracted from Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad, explained in the
Glossary below. Featured securities are selected as and when their technical indicators appear convincing for an investment action. Maybank
Investment Bank Bhd expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise its Technical Ratings to reflect new information, events or
circumstances after the date of this publication or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Glossary of key technical terms
COMMODITY CHANNEL An oscillator used in technical analysis to help determine when an investment vehicle has been overbought and
INDEX (CCI) oversold. It quantifies the relationship between the asset's price, a moving average (MA) of the asset's price,
and normal deviations (D) from that average.
DIRECTIONAL An indicator for identifying when a definable trend is present in an instrument, i.e. the DMI tells whether an
MOVEMENT INDEX (DMI) instrument is trending or not.
MOVING AVERAGE A trend lagging momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of prices. A
“signal line” is also plotted on top of the MACD to function as a trigger for buy and sell signals.
CONVERGENCE
DIVERGENCE (MACD)
OSCILLATOR A technical analysis tool that is banded between two extreme values and built with the results from a trend
indicator for discovering short-term overbought or oversold conditions. As the oscillator approaches the upper
extreme value the stock is overbought, while in the lower extreme it is oversold.
RELATIVE STRENGTH A technical momentum indicator that compares the magnitude of recent losses to determine overbought and
INDEX (RSI) oversold conditions of the stock. The stock is overbought (overvalued) once the RSI approaches the 80-level.
Meanwhile, the stock is oversold (undervalued) as the RSI approaches the 20-level.
STOCHASTIC A technical momentum indicator that compares a security’s closing price to its price range over a given time
period. The stock is overbought when the indicator is above 80 and oversold when it is below 20.
