FBM30 1641.01  -13.10 points (-0.79%)  Volume 1,354mil Value 1,700mil      
1) Persistent selling saw KLCI end at day's low as investors sell ahead of ECB meeting tomorrow after US manufacturing unexpectedly contracted for a third month and on a report China's industrial output may slow. Key heavyweights were mostly lower led by plantation names PPB-4%, IOICORP-3% and KLK-2.22%. Market breadth was negative with decliners thumping gainers 669:156. Futures closed 1635pts (6 points discount).

3) DBT: GLOTEC 30.1mil @ RM0.075, DAYA 8mil @ RM0.20
 
4) Situationals:
INGENS+2.22% RM0.23: Chin Boon Long and Firstwide Success Sdn Bhd have via the press conference held this morning and via their letters sent to the registered office of INGENS, rejected the offer from Ninetology Marketing Sdn Bhd to purchase Mr Chin's stake at an offer price of RM0.55 per share.
 
5) UEMLand: announced that the KL High Court had on Sept 4 allowed Bandar Nusajaya Development SB's (BND)- a wholly owned subsidiary- judicial review application to set aside the additional tax assessment amounting to RM73.8m. The Court ruled in favor of BND and declared that the IRB had no legal basis to raise the additional tax assessment. The IRB has 30 days to appeal to the Court of Appeal, +ve.
 
The share price of UEMLand has retreated 16% since early July as market priced in the election risks ahead. Co has unbilled sales of RM1.85b & some RM3.3b worth of projects planned to be rolled out in 2H2012. We anticipate positive newsflow in tandem with the opening of Legoland, Marlborough College, etc soon & expect interest to pick up strongly after overhang of concerns is over -  Trading BUY.
 
6)Mkt: the recent support of KLCI 1643pts was broken during the auction sell down; unless this level is reclaimed immediately, the market is likely to retrace lower to the KLCI 1631-1620 levels.
