Market today | Technical indicators are still negative. The market continues to lack new catalysts and the uncertainty about when or if the Fed will cut interest rate continues to overhang, meaning the SET is likely to continue weakening with next supports at 1400 and 1390, while a recovery is limited at resistances at 1415 and 1420. | Today’s highlights | • In Dec, the US inflation rate was 3.4% with core inflation at 3.9%, both higher than expected. Initial jobless claims fell to 202,000 last week, the lowest in three months. These have led to market speculation that it might be too soon for the Fed to start reducing interest rates. • The Philadelphia Fed says that credit card defaults have exceeded pre-COVID-19 levels, with the proportion of borrowers making only minimum payments rising above 10% for the first time since 2019. • The US and the UK are conducting air strikes against military targets of the Iran-backed Houthi group in Yemen in response to ongoing attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea. • Several major global technology companies have announced staff cuts as AI takes over more roles. These include Google, Amazon Huawei in the US and Canada, as well as Lazada, part of the Alibaba group. • The Ministry of Finance is preparing to set up a joint venture Asset Management Company (AMC) with the Government Savings Bank holding 50% expected within 1Q24. It hopes to resolve 3mn NPLs totaling over Bt200bn by reducing payments. • The UTCC says the December Consumer Confidence Index rose for the fifth month to a 46-month high (March 2020). Behind the increase is government policies reducing the cost of living, electricity and fuel prices, as well as measures to stimulate the economy and increased political stability. | Strategy today | In the short term, the Thai stock market is expected to continue moving up but with limited upside due to fluctuation from externals and waiting for new catalysts. Our strategy is selective buy. | Trading today | Weekly portfolio: In the short term the SET is expected to continue moving up but upside remains limited due to fluctuations from external factors and waiting for new catalysts. We recommend “selective buy” in themes with specific drivers: 1) Stocks expected to benefit from the January Effect: from 2011-2022 the SET had a 69.23% probability of rising with an average return of 1.37% - AOT, KTB, KBANK and DIF, whose data shows outperformance of the SET’s average return. 2) Stocks benefiting from declining bond yield – Commerce (CPALL and CPAXT), Healthcare (BDMS), Utilities (GULF), Property Development (AP) and Consumer Finance (TIDLOR). 3) Stocks benefiting from the E-Receipt measure allowing a personal income tax deduction on purchases of up to Bt50,000 between Jan 1–Feb 15, 2024 – CRC, HMPRO, ZEN, MINT and ADVANC. In the medium term we recommend being cautious on stocks that are set to be affected by El Nino, which will erode purchasing power in the agricultural sector: Finance (MTC, SAWAD), Automotive (SAT, STANLY), Beverages (CBG has high sugar cost) and Food & Agriculture (CPF GFPT and BTG). | Daily top picks | BCP: In the short term the company benefits from the rise in oil price caused by heightened tension in the Middle East. Although 2023 core profit is expected to fall 45% off an abnormally high GRM in 2022, core profit is expected to shoot up 52% in 2024. The company pays a consistently high dividend with yield of ~8%. GPSC: In the short term the company benefits from declining bond yield and low price for natural gas due to a warmer winter. The company is in the process of adjusting electricity sales contracts for industrial customers to be based on gas price to reduce the volatility brought by changes in Ft, which does not align with cost. | Today’s reports | CPALL (High conviction) – Top sector growth in 4Q23F CPAXT – 2024F targets: Better sales & margin | | Click here to read and/or download file Daily240112_E |
