Malaysia’s Fiscal Deficit Narrows 12% to RM47 Billion in 7M 2025
Kuala Lumpur, January 27, 2026 — The FBM KLCI extended its rally on Tuesday, climbing 1.56% to close at 1,771.25, marking a fresh multi-year high. The benchmark index was buoyed by sustained foreign inflows and broad-based strength in blue-chip stocks, with Finance (+2.44%) and Industrial Products (+1.49%) leading sector gains. Only Transportation & Logistics (-0.95%) and REITs (-0.78%) ended lower.
Global markets painted a mixed picture. Wall Street saw the Nasdaq (+0.91%) and S&P 500 (+0.41%) rise on technology strength ahead of key earnings, while the Dow (-0.83%) slipped on weakness in UnitedHealth.
In Europe, the STOXX 600 gained 0.58%, led by banks, while Asian markets rallied, with South Korea hitting record highs despite renewed tariff threats.
Market sentiment in Malaysia remains firm, supported by a stronger ringgit at USD/MYR 3.95. Analysts expect momentum to persist, though caution lingers ahead of the Federal Reserve’s policy decision and Big Tech earnings.
