Economic Analysis

===========

a) Malaysia Balance of Trade

- Malaysia Balance of Trade registered a positive position with RM 11.1b in Feb 2019 which is slightly lower than the balance of trade in Jan 2019. It is a good indicator for Malaysia economic outlook. But Devils hide in details.

- We noticed export and import drop significantly in Feb 2019 accordingly.

- Drop in Malaysia export majorly contributed by Palm oil & palm oil-based products, refined petroleum products, crude petroleum, timber @ timber-based products and natural rubber. With the export level in Feb 2019, do related company able to perform better in Q1 2019. Doubtful!!

- Due to market sentiment, local big buyer/private consumer stay alert and not willing to increase the purchase level.

b) Malaysia Manufacturing PMI

- Nikkei Malaysia Manufacturing PMI® registered at 47.2 in March 2019

- Refer to IHS Markit economist, PMl falls in March and remains below long-run average.

- Demand conditions grow tougher, hampered by export markets/soften demand in Asia Market.

- However, business outlook at strongest for almost one year.
