Technical Stock Alert;
IOICORP (RM5.23) - Its price has rebounded 7% from a recent low of RM4.90 despite the continued weakness in commodity prices and its weaker 3Q numbers. The bounce could have been sparked by IOI's management confirming old rumours of separately listing its property arm, but no time line has been given. The current bounce has help its price bounce back above its SMA 200 but we don't think this move is sustainable due to the deteriorating fundamental outlook and view this as an opportunity to sell into the bounce as prices are expected to retest the RM4.90 lows. Sell on strength.
(PT/DN)

BURSA (RM5.98) - Bursa's removal from the MSCI index effective today has seen share price fallen from RM6.80 or 12% since the list was released on the 15th May.  Looking at the bigger picture it has fallen from its previous high of RM7.58 or 21% (10/2/2012). Volume picked up last 2 days averaging 2.3mil against usual volume of approximately 400k. The selling pressure could ease after today when most funds are expected to have rebalanced their portfolios in line with the new MSCI basket. Limited downside with RSI at oversold levels of 17 and support at RM5.80. Dividend is attractive at 4.34%. Looking for technical bounce with immediate target of RM6.20-6.50. Buy on weakness
