Foreign fund sell-offs may heighten volatility

Ongoing foreign fund sell-offs may heighten volatility, prompting a defensive stance with a wait-and-see approach advised until trade policies clarify.

Defensive sectors like REITs, Healthcare, Utilities, and Transportation are favored. The FBM KLCI ended a five-day decline, reclaiming 1,500, but technical indicators remain bearish, with resistance at 1,570 and support at 1,500.
