Market Update: CPO Futures and FBM KLCI

The FBM KLCI closed on a positive note, bolstered by significant buying activity in the utilities sector. The market’s upward momentum was further supported by an improving sentiment and increased participation from foreign buyers. However, investors are advised to remain cautious due to rising global volatility.

Analysts forecast the FBM KLCI to trade within the 1,615-1,630 range today.
