Sector Update | Plantation MPOB’s Mar 26 data saw a continued downward moderation in palm oil inventory, driven by a surge in exports despite the recovery in production. We maintain our constructive view on the sector’s outlook, underpinned by positive demand drivers such as the expansion of biofuel policies in the US and Indonesia. Maintain OVERWEIGHT on the sector with our CPO price forecast at RM4,500 per tonne for 2026. Company Update | IOI Properties Group (IOIPG MK/BUY/RM3.63/Target: RM4.0...

China Economics: Inflation -- PPI Inflation Turns Positive But CPI Inf...
In March, China’s headline CPI inflation eased to 1.0% yoy, below consensus, as food inflation moderated and post-holiday services normalised, pulling core CPI inflation down to 1.1% yoy. Meanwhile, PPI inflation turned positive at 0.5% yoy for the first time since late-22, driven by rising global commodity and oil prices lifting upstream sectors. However, persistent consumer goods PPI deflation signals weak downstream demand, suggesting price transmission will be gradual and dependent on a reco...

Strategy - MSCI Indonesia: What Comes Next
Strategy | MSCI Indonesia: What Comes Next Indonesia’s EM status is largely de-risked, shifting focus to MSCI index mechanics. Key uncertainties lie in MSCI’s interpretation of the KSEI 39-category framework and the timing of exclusions vs inclusions. We see the potential removal of several stocks impacting >20% of Indonesia’s MSCI weighting, implying our back-of-the=envelope outflow of US$386m-482m. DSSA and BREN remain high-probability exclusions following HSC flags. While flows may balance ov...

SG REITs : Bargain Hunting Amidst Fragile Peace Negotiations
Ongoing peace negotiations between US and Iran and between Russia and Ukraine, if continued, could lead to reducing hostilities and healing in the energy supply chain, thus easing concerns over higher inflation. Maintain OVERWEIGHT. Accumulate logistics REIT FLT (Target: S$1.22) and hospitality REIT CLAS (Target: S$1.42). Fundamentally, we remain attracted to CICT (Target: S$2.95), MPACT (Target: S$1.84) and NTTDCR (Target: US$1.42).

SCG Packaging (SCGP TB) - 1Q26 Earnings To Be Resilient ‒ Net Profit ...
Company Update | SCG Packaging (SCGP TB/BUY/Bt20.80/Target: Bt26.00) We expect SCGP’s 1Q26 net profit to remain flat qoq, despite the absence of significant extra gains.

Looking ahead to 2Q26, we anticipate net profit to decline qoq due to the low season in Thailand, but to still grow yoy. However, Thailand’s economic stimulus measures c...

China Automobile Weekly: 4Q25 Results Review And 2026 Outlook.
In 4Q25, the upstream segments (battery and battery materials) outperformed the mid-stream (auto parts) and downstream (auto OEMs) segments. China’s auto sector profits should have bottomed in 1Q26 and will likely recover along with PV sales from 2Q26 as: a) the front-loading effect is fading, b) local subsidies are coming through, c) OEMs are launching new techs, and d) overseas sales remain buoyant. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT. Top BUYs: CATL, Geely, Minth and Ganfeng Lithium.

Top Stories Strategy | Monthly Market Radar Singapore equities fell 2.2% in March to 4,885.45 amid escalating Middle East tensions and rising oil prices. Volatility increased as retail investors stayed active, favouring industrial and tech stocks. Corporate catalysts included Oiltek’s major contract win, CLAR’s capital raising and UI Boustead REIT’s SGX debut. Markets remained cautious, with heightened geopolitical risks amplifying concerns over supply disruptions and oil-price pressures. Marke...
