KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia opened higher on Wednesday as investors engaged in bargain hunting following the extended market closure last week, while positive sentiment from Wall Street’s overnight gains also supported buying interest.

At 9.33 am, the benchmark FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI rose 5.34 points, or 0.31%, to 1,688.41 from Friday’s close of 1,683.07.

The index opened 4.06 points higher at 1,687.13.

Bursa Malaysia was closed on Monday (June 1) and Tuesday (June 2) in observance of the birthday of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and the replacement holiday for Wesak Day, respectively.

Market breadth was negative, as losers outnumbered gainers 377 to 350, while 412 counters were unchanged, 1,464 were untraded, and 13 were suspended.

Turnover stood at 720.10 million shares worth RM715.34 million.

Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd vice-president of equity research Thong Pak Leng said Wall Street closed higher despite the ongoing uncertainty regarding the US-Iran negotiations.

Meanwhile, he said the crude oil price edged higher to US$96 per barrel, while the US 10-year yield was flat at 4.453%.

“As for the local bourse, we believe bargain-hunting activities will emerge sooner rather than later following a long break last week.

“As such, we expect the index to hover within the 1,680-1,700 range today,” he said.

Among heavyweight stocks, Public Bank rose three sen to RM4.74, while Maybank fell two sen to RM10.62, Tenaga Nasional lost six sen to RM14.22, CIMB eased one sen to RM7.47, and IHH decreased three sen to RM8.98.

The FBM Mid 70 Index declined 42.86 points to 18,441.46, and the FBM ACE Index edged down 9.25 points to 4,754.56.

By sector, the Financial Services Index rose 31.20 points to 19,555.49, while the Industrial Products and Services Index added 2.12 points to 199.94, and the Energy Index gained 3.20 points to 781.95, but the Plantation Index dropped 66.09 points to 8,433.45.

KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia reversed earlier gains to close marginally lower today, pressured by late selling in blue-chip stocks as investors turned cautious amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainties in the Middle East, which continued to dampen market sentiment.

Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd vice-president of equity research Thong Pak Leng said regional markets rebounded amid growing optimism that the US and Iran could reach a peace agreement, easing concerns over potential disruptions to global energy supplies.

“Consequently, Brent crude oil prices declined to around US$92 (RM 364.55) per barrel.

“However, back home, we remain cautious as negotiations between the US and Iran have yet to yield a definitive outcome, while geopolitical uncertainties in the Middle East continue to weigh on investor confidence,” he told Bernama.

At 5pm, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) eased 1.86 points, or 0.11%, to 1,683.07 from yesterday’s close of 1,684.93.

The benchmark index opened 3.25 points higher at 1,688.18. and moved between 1,680.59 and 1,694.65 throughout the session.

However, the broader market was positive, with gainers outpacing losers 680 to 512, while 529 counters were unchanged, 921 untraded and 51 suspended.

23/05/2026

KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit retreated against the US dollar today, ending a three-day winning streak as investors focused on geopolitical tensions and the increasingly hawkish stance adopted by central banks globally.
Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Afzanizam Rashid said the ringgit was mostly in a narrow range with the US dollar today, languishing around RM3.9583 to RM3.9688.

“The ongoing negotiation between the US and Iran is still the main focus while central banks across the globe seem to be taking a more hawkish stance,” he told Bernama.

The ringgit firmed against the US dollar for the past three days as market sentiment improved on the back of Malaysia’s trade performance, which rose 28.6% year-on-year (y-o-y) to a record RM336.73 billion in April 2026.

The investment, trade and industry ministry (Miti) earlier this week reported that the higher export figures were driven mainly by strong exports of electrical and electronic (E&E) products.

Malaysia’s trade maintained strong momentum in April 2026 with exports and imports reaching record highs despite heightened global uncertainties, including geopolitical tensions in West Asia that led to higher logistics costs, supply chain disruptions and commodity price volatility.

Miti also said exports extended their growth momentum for the 10th consecutive month, surging 36.9% to a record RM182.74 billion, surpassing the previous high of RM152.77 billion recorded in December 2025 by RM30 billion, while imports rose 20% to RM153.99 billion.

At 6pm, the ringgit fell to 3.9655/3.9700 versus the greenback from 3.9595/3.9630 at yesterday’s close.

At the close, the ringgit traded mostly lower against a basket of major currencies.

It weakened versus the Japanese yen to 2.4925/2.4954 from 2.4906/2.4929 at yesterday’s close, slid against the British pound to 5.3245/5.3305 from 5.3220/5.3267 previously, but gained against the euro to 4.6012/4.6064 from 4.6037/4.6078 yesterday.

At the same time, the local currency was mixed against regional peers.

It fell against the Singapore dollar to 3.0985/3.1023 from 3.0967/3.0997 at the close yesterday, down against the Thai baht to 12.1421/12.1611 from 12.1304/12.1468 yesterday, but edged up against the Indonesian rupiah to 223.8/224.1 from 224.1/224.4 previously.

It was almost flat against the Philippine peso at 6.42/6.44 from 6.43/6.44.

21/05/2026

KUALA LUMPUR: Genting Bhd’s net profit for the first quarter (Q1) ended March 31 jumped to RM101.10 million from RM4.60 million in the same quarter a year ago.

Revenue for the quarter also rose 2% to RM6.66 billion from RM6.51 billion previously.

Genting said Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) recorded a revenue of RM1.88 billion in the current quarter.

“Steady operational progress was made in the quarter, with non-gaming revenue increasing year-on-year, supported by higher visitation to key attractions including Universal Studios Singapore and the Singapore Oceanarium at RWS,” it said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia.

As for its oil palm plantation segment, Genting said revenue was higher in the current quarter. Additionally, the previous year’s corresponding quarter featured higher profit realised on brought-forward inventory.

“The downstream manufacturing segment recorded higher revenue, and the power division’s revenue increased, primarily attributable to higher generation from the Banten Plant in Indonesia in the current quarter due to no outage, unlike the previous year’s corresponding quarter, which was impacted by an unplanned outage,” it said.

The company said the group’s performance for the remaining period of the 2026 financial year might be impacted as global growth momentum is expected to soften amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in West Asia and broader macroeconomic uncertainties, despite certain economies, such as the US, having demonstrated resilience to date.

“In Malaysia, the outlook is expected to remain cautious, as growth may moderate due to inflationary pressures, geopolitical uncertainties and external headwinds weighing on the broader domestic economy.

“Cross-border tourism demand is expected to face challenges due to weaker outbound travel trends and higher travel-related costs,” it added.

KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit closed lower against the US dollar on Monday, as cautious sentiment prevailed in the foreign exchange market.

This came on the back of China’s weaker economic data and amid jitters ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes to be released on Wednesday.

Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said China data took centre stage after fixed-asset investment shrank 1.6% in the first four months of 2026, against expectations for a 1.7% growth.

“In addition, retail sales grew at a significantly slower rate of 0.2% (year-on-year) during April after posting a 1.7% growth in the previous month while the industrial production growth moderated to 4.1% from 5.7% previously.

“Hence, the April figures showed China’s economy is slowing amid the supply shock in the oil and gas sector following the Iran war which erupted on Feb 28 this year. As such, market sentiment was cautious throughout the day,” he told Bernama.

At the close, the ringgit traded mostly easier against a basket of major currencies.

At 6pm, the ringgit depreciated to 3.9720/3.9770 versus the greenback from 3.9515/3.9580 at last Friday’s close.

It strengthened versus the British pound to 5.3078/5.3145 from 5.3094/5.3135, but fell against the Japanese yen to 2.4991/2.5024 from 2.4886/2.4907 and slid vis-a-vis the euro to 4.6214/4.6272 from 4.6009/4.6044 previously.

The local currency traded easier against regional peers.

It eased versus the Singapore dollar to 3.1036/3.1078 from 3.0867/3.0893 on Friday, fell against the Philippine peso to 6.43/6.45 from 6.37/6.38 previously, weakened vis-a-vis the Thai baht to 12.1646/12.1848 from 12.1506/12.1652, and slipped against the Indonesian rupiah to 224.8/225.1 from 224.1/224.4.

KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit closed mostly higher after Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) reported a 5.4% economic growth in Q1 2026, above the 5.3% advance estimate.

However, the local note was lower against the US dollar today amid continued support for the greenback on expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) would maintain its restrictive monetary stance.

At 6pm, the ringgit depreciated to 3.9515/3.9580 against the greenback from 3.9300/3.9330 at Thursday’s close.

Earlier today, BNM reported that Malaysia’s economy expanded by 5.4%, with household spending remaining resilient amid favourable labour market conditions and continued policy support.

The report also said investment activity was sustained by machinery and equipment spending, structures investment and the implementation of multi-year projects.

The central bank said private consumption expanded by 4.7% in Q1 2026, while private investment grew 7.8%. Net exports surged 13.5% amid steady export growth and a faster moderation in imports.

Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said strong US retail sales growth of 4.9% year-on-year in April suggests that the Fed is likely to maintain its restrictive stance this year, providing support for the dollar.

“Meanwhile, the recent meeting between US president Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping appeared cordial, suggesting that trade relations between the two countries remain fairly conducive for now,” he told Bernama.

At the close, the ringgit traded mostly higher against a basket of major currencies.

It appreciated against the British pound to 5.2749/5.2835 from 5.3094/5.3135, and rose against the euro to 4.5948/4.6024 from 4.6009/4.6044 at Thursday’s close.

However, it slid against the Japanese yen to 2.4927/2.4968 from 2.4886/2.4907 previously.

The local currency traded mostly lower against its regional peers.

It rose against the Thai baht to 12.0989/12.1247 from 12.1506/12.1652, but eased against the Singapore dollar to 3.0871/3.0927 from 3.0867/3.0893, shed against the Indonesian rupiah to 224.5/225.0 from 224.1/224.4 and was lower against the Philippine peso at 6.40/6.41 from 6.37/6.38.

KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia closed lower today, reversing Tuesday’s gains as cautious investors weighed the broader macroeconomic and geopolitical outlook amid subdued trading.

At 5pm, the benchmark FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) slipped by 4.25 points or 0.24% to 1,746.31 from Tuesday’s close of 1,750.56.

Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd vice-president of equity research Thong Pak Leng said that investors adopted a cautiously positive stance ahead of the meeting between US president Donald Trump and Chinese president Xi Jinping in China.

Key topics expected to be discussed include tariffs and artificial intelligence.

“On the domestic front, market direction remains uncertain given the increased volatility and mixed external developments,” he told Bernama.

Meanwhile, IPPFA Sdn Bhd director of investment strategy and country economist Sedek Jantan, nevertheless, said the decline in the FBM KLCI below the 1,750-point level should not be interpreted as a sign of structural weakness, particularly after the market’s strong performance throughout April and last week.

“Instead, the latest pullback appears more consistent with short-term profit-taking following the recent rally,” he added.

The benchmark index, which opened 0.10 of-a-point firmer at 1,750.66, moved between 1,742.41 and 1,752.64 during today’s session.

Market breadth was negative, with losers outnumbering gainers 611 to 577. A total of 555 counters were unchanged, 932 untraded, and 13 suspended.

Turnover decreased to 4.14 billion units worth RM3.44 billion compared with 4.92 billion units worth RM3.59 billion on Tuesday.

Among heavyweights, Maybank and Tenaga Nasional fell six sen to RM11.18 and RM14.72, respectively, IHH Healthcare slipped four sen to RM8.99, while Public Bank rose four sen to RM4.88 and CIMB climbed two sen to RM7.92.

On the most active list, GIIB added 6.5 sen to 27 sen, WCT rose 3.5 sen to 51.5 sen, and UEM Sunrise gained three sen to 66.5 sen. Astro and SMRT slid half-a-sen to 5.5 sen and 27 sen, respectively.

Among the top gainers, Malaysian Pacific Industries advanced RM1.54 to RM43.80, UMS Integration jumped 80 sen to RM8.80, Petronas Dagangan increased 78 sen to RM21.10, Vitrox garnered 27 sen to RM6.29, and UWC soared 24 sen to RM5.97.

The top losers included Fraser & Neave, which dipped 74 sen to RM29.16, Hong Leong Industries sank 40 sen to RM18.90, while Allianz and United Plantations dropped 18 sen each to RM21.12 and RM30.12, respectively.

On the index board, the FBM Emas Index slid 18.13 points to 12,936.24, the FBMT 100 Index lost 20.47 points to 12,774.20, and the FBM Emas Shariah Index shed 6.25 points to 12,868.05.

The FBM ACE Index rose by 23.91 points to 4,752.19 and the FBM Mid 70 Index increased 15.73 points to 18,548.80.

By sector, the financial services index ticked up 0.75 of-a-point at 20,302.05, and the plantation index shrank 78.81 points to 8,719.25. The industrial products and services index put on 1.06 points to 199.73 and the energy index eased by 1.88 points to 805.94.

The Main Market volume slipped to 2.32 billion units valued at RM3.07 billion from 2.79 billion units valued at RM3.03 billion on Tuesday.

The ACE Market volume tumbled to 638.74 million units valued at RM217.64 million from 1.05 billion units valued at RM412.60 million yesterday.

11/05/2026

KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit opened higher against the US dollar on Monday, as investors kept an eye on the ongoing peace negotiations over the West Asia crisis, an analyst said.

At 8am, the local unit rose to 3.9170/3.9230 against the greenback, compared with Friday’s close of 3.9185/3.9230.

Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Afzanizam Rashid said market sentiment continued to revolve around the war in Iran, as the ongoing peace negotiations appeared elusive amid inconsistent reports on their progress.

“Higher oil prices are eating into businesses’ margins and consumers’ budgets across the globe, leading to a possible slowdown in investment and consumption.

“As such, risk appetite among the traders is likely to remain guarded,” he added.

At the time of writing, the Brent crude oil price climbed by 3.55% to US$104.93 per barrel.

Afzanizam also said the US non-farm payrolls report came in higher at 115,000 in April versus consensus estimates of 62,000, suggesting the US labour market remained resilient and that the US Federal Reserve might not be in a hurry to cut rates.

As such, he said the ringgit is expected to trade in a narrow range, as traders are also anticipating the release of Malaysia’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the first quarter of 2026 this Friday.

“It seems the Malaysian economy will continue to maintain a healthy growth trajectory during the first three months of this year and perhaps in the first half of 2026.

“That notion could provide some support to the ringgit as the government remains proactive to provide the right response to the current shock,” he said.

At the opening, the ringgit traded higher against a basket of major currencies and most Asean currencies.

The local note appreciated versus the Japanese yen to 2.4970/2.5010 from 2.5010/2.5040 at last Friday’s close, increased against the British pound to 5.3248/5.3329 from 5.3354/5.3416 last week, and rose vis-a-vis the euro to 4.6095/4.6166 from 4.6121/4.6174 previously.

Against its regional peers, the ringgit edged up against the Singapore dollar to 3.0886/3.0936 from 3.0910/3.0948 at last Friday’s close, strengthened versus the Thai baht to 12.1322/12.1579 from 12.1640/12.1844 previously, and inched up vis-a-vis the Indonesian rupiah at 225.3/225.7 versus 225.4/225.7.

However, the local note was unchanged against the Philippine peso at 6.46/6.47 versus last Friday’s close.

KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia closed marginally higher today, supported by continued buying in banking heavyweights following Bank Negara Malaysia’s decision to maintain the overnight policy rate (OPR) at 2.75%.

At 5pm, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) rose 1.98 points, or 0.11%, to 1,758.85 from yesterday’s close of 1,756.87.

The benchmark index, which opened 5.94 points higher at 1,762.81, moved between 1,758.42 and 1,768.46 during the day.

Market breadth was positive, with gainers beating losers 660 to 582. A total of 592 counters were unchanged, 817 untraded, and nine suspended.

Turnover eased to 3.75 billion units worth RM4.21 billion compared with 3.98 billion units worth RM3.97 billion yesterday.

IPPFA Sdn Bhd director of investment strategy and country economist Sedek Jantan said BNM’s decision to maintain the OPR signals confidence in domestic demand resilience, while acknowledging rising downside risks from external shocks, particularly geopolitical tensions and commodity price volatility.

“The policy stance effectively validates the market’s current positioning, with a preference for domestically insulated earnings streams amid an uncertain global backdrop,” he told Bernama.

Meanwhile, Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd vice-president of equity research Thong Pak Leng said the FBM KLCI pared earlier session gains due to late profit-taking but managed to finish in the green.

“Key regional indices trended higher as growing optimism over a potential US-Iran peace deal lifted sentiment across risk-driven markets.

“Regional bourses also took cues from Wall Street’s strong overnight performance, driven mainly by gains in technology and chip-related stocks,” he said.

Among heavyweights, Maybank added four sen to RM11.26, Public Bank gained 10 sen to RM4.89, CIMB Group rose 11 sen to RM8.04, Hong Leong Bank expanded 48 sen to RM22.60, Tenaga Nasional was flat at RM14.80, and IHH Healthcare improved three sen to RM8.88.

On the index board, the FBM Emas Index rose 17.24 points to 12,980.73, the FBMT 100 Index gained 19.35 points to 12,826.74, the FBM Emas Shariah Index declined 62.14 points to 12,863.13, the FBM Mid 70 Index improved 48.75 points to 18,457.09, and the FBM ACE Index added 3.74 points to 4,665.74.

By sector, the financial services index climbed 237.21 points to 20,473.43, the industrial products and services index slid 3.10 points to 194.42, the energy index dropped 19.93 points to 811.86, and the plantation index declined 30.20 points to 8,937.77.

The Main Market volume decreased to 2.11 billion units valued at RM3.92 billion from 2.28 billion units valued at RM3.64 billion on Wednesday.
