The FBM KLCI remains above the 1,600 level but may face profit-taking pressure due to Wall Street’s recent selloff. Lower liners might also see selling activity.

Technology Sector: May face selling pressure due to Nasdaq’s decline.

Technical Analysis: The FBM KLCI remains strong above 1,600, surpassing the SMA50 for the first time since October 2024. Indicators such as MACD and RSI are positive. Resistance is at 1,645, with support at 1,600. – Apex Research
