This is another series of powerful yet simple article for all our dear retail investors in Bursa Malaysia.
Bursa Malaysia has gone through a series of uncertain movement for the past three months with investors left being frustrated on their stock performance.
However, we have noticed a pattern in a certain theme for the past one week and it is only getting stronger. So it is time to make use of it.
We are talking about the VALUE THEME.
First of all there are 2 main factors that has been causing the stock market perfomance to be poor over the past 3 months
1) Inflation fear which mainly affected the technology stocks and interest rates hike possibility (which affected the rest of the other sectors)
2) Covid cases rising and lockdown fear which generally affected the whole stock market.
Since the problems are clear, it is only logic to know if both these problems are going through a deeper crisis or it is being solution based right now.
As for inflation, the fears have not subsided fully and therefore it may take more time for technology stocks to react positively with good momentum.
On the bright side, the second problem is being encouragingly solved by most countries around the world. The cases are being solved and the curve is starting to drop with vaccination rates increasing.
Malaysia covid vaccination rate has been increasing steadily as the government is securing more vaccines and opening up more centres for vaccination.
This is the increase in vaccination rate around the world. Source : https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations
WITH THIS IN PLACE WE ARE ONLY HEADING IN ONE DIRECTION : ECONOMIC RECOVERY
When we talk about which sector will benefit, as of now you need to understand the difference between
1) Value Stocks -
- Value stocks, often stocks of cyclical industries, may do well early in an economic recovery but are typically more likely to lag in a sustained bull market
2) Growth Stocks -
- Growth stocks, in general, have the potential to perform better when interest rates are falling and company earnings are rising. However, they may also be the first to be punished when the economy is cooling.
