There will be a significant sell-off in Malaysian equities and the ringgit because of the uncertainty caused by Malaysia's first change of governing party/coalition in the 61 years since Malaya gained independence from Britain. We view this sell-off as a buying opportunity, because Malaysia will now be renewing its social compact, with two multi-racial parties at the heart of the new government. As of 1:30am, 10th May 2018 (8+ hours after the polls closed), the long-ruling Barisan Nasional was…

A Malay Tsunami Sweeps Najib from Power, as Mahathir-Anwar Score a Landslide Win

If our long-standing non-consensus call that the opposition PH will win a slim parliamentary majority does pan out, how should investors position themselves? The market and the ringgit are likely to sell off quite precipitously on Thursday, as the market digests the new uncertainty caused by Malaysia's first change of governing party/coalition in 61 years. (The widely-held consensus until a fortnight ago was that Najib would sail to an easy victory). We would look at the sell-off as a buying…

Mahathir making headway: The latest Merdeka Center poll shows that support for the opposition alliance, Pakatan Harapan (PH), amongst Malay voters rose from 20% to 27.8% though it remains below the 34% threshold that analysts believe is needed for PH to win 100 parliamentary seats in peninsular Malaysia. This came at the expense of Islamic party, PAS, whose support has fallen sharply, from 27% to 20.9% while Prime Minister Najib’s Barisan Nasional (BN)’s support dipped from 53% to 51.2%.</li>

Technical Analysis

We have been warning of a USD domino breakout cycle that started with the TRY breakout and then BRL triangle breakout that would bleed into Asian FX. DXY clearing 92 is the next pressure point that would not only open up the USD bull cycle versus the majors but will seeing Asian FX come under increasing pressure.The DXY daily chart has registered a breakout at 90.50 that was used to step up USD long positioning. We were already long the USD vs EM FX and parts of Asia ahead of this breakout.<figure class="editor-figure mceNonEditable"><img class="editor-image img-responsive" src="https://static-prod.smartkarma.com/images/media/000/051/047/original/DXY%20d.png?1525168789" data-smartkarma-image-id="51047"></figure>DXY…

Asian FX Pressures Mount Above DXY 92 - Euro Big Breakdown

Malaysia's 14th General Election, to be held on May 9th, will be the most competitive ever. In the absence of cheating, we expect the main Opposition alliance, Pakatan Harapan (PH), to win a slim majority in parliament. Tun Dr Mahathir will briefly serve as Prime Minister, ensure a royal pardon for Anwar Ibrahim, his release from prison, and his accession to the prime ministership by end-June. While this will be disruptive in the short-term -- especially since PH intends to abolish the GST -- it…
