FBM KLCI: Dropped by -0.9%, marking five consecutive declines, with Utilities and Telecom sectors leading the losses.

Global Markets: U.S. markets were mixed, with the Nasdaq up and the Dow down. European markets closed slightly lower, while most Asian markets saw gains, led by China and Hong Kong.
