Bursa Malaysia ended on a high note today, with the $FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI Index (.KLSE.GI)$ rising 7.58 points, or 0.47%, to close at 1,633.54. This fresh three-year high aligns with global market optimism driven by expectations of a US Federal Reserve rate cut.

• Flat or Declining: $IHH (5225.BMS)$ remained flat, while $MAYBANK (1155.BMS)$ fell by two sen.
Market Trends
The market saw an increase in turnover to 5.28 billion units worth RM3.87 billion, with gainers outnumbering losers 770 to 445. $Bursa Construction (0003I.BMS)$ led with a more than 3% increase, driven by anticipation of increased contract awards.
