Bursa Malaysia ended lower after snapping a seven-day winning streak due to profit-taking activities in $Bursa Utilities (0065I.BMS)$, $Bursa Energy (0061I.BMS)$, and $Bursa Technology (0005I.BMS)$ stocks. The market saw a downturn as investors locked in profits following a period of consistent gains.
Key Indices Performance
• $FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI Index (.KLSE.GI)$: Dropped by 5.93 points or 0.36%, settling at 1,642.77 from the previous close of 1,648.70. The index hit an intraday high of 1,660.29, the highest level since mid-December 2020, before falling to a low of 1,637.45 during the afternoon session.
• Broader Market: Decliners outpaced advancers with 857 losers against 357 gainers. 433 counters remained unchanged, 833 untraded, and 11 counters suspended.
Trading Volume
• The market turnover increased to 4.19 billion units valued at RM4.55 billion, compared to the previous day’s volume of 3.89 billion units worth RM4.30 billion.
Sectoral and Stock Highlights
• Regional Sentiment: Despite profit-taking on some Asian bourses, many regional markets maintained an upward trajectory supported by foreign buying and strengthening Asian currencies against the US dollar.
• Profit-taking Impact: The decline was primarily driven by $Bursa Utilities (0065I.BMS)$, $Bursa Energy (0061I.BMS)$, and $Bursa Technology (0005I.BMS)$ stocks.
