The FBM KLCI rose 0.6%, driven by bargain hunting in data centre-related stocks. Gains in Gamuda, YTL Power, and YTL Corp supported the market, with all sectors closing higher.
The top-performing sectors were Construction (+2.8%), Property (+2.0%), and Technology (+1.5%).
Improved global sentiment, aided by a 30-day tariff pause for Mexico and Canada, may sustain buying interest, particularly in data centre-related stocks. However, concerns over China’s economic slowdown and ongoing tariff risks keep investors cautious. Key events this week include the Bank of England’s rate decision (Thursday) and the U.S. jobs report (Friday).
Sector Focus: Construction and Utilities may see continued buying, while Technology could benefit from Nasdaq’s gains. In contrast, Oil & Gas stocks may face profit-taking due to falling oil prices and rising U.S. crude inventories.
The FBM KLCI is approaching the 1,600 resistance level after three consecutive gains. However, indicators remain weak, with MACD below the Signal Line and RSI under 50. Key support is seen at 1,530.
