Rakuten Trade Revises Margin Financing Rates Downward to Support Active Investors, Broad market sentiment
KUALA LUMPUR, April 08, 2025 – President Trump’s aggressive tariffs have sparked global market volatility, with Wall Street’s S&P 500 posting its worst two-day drop since the pandemic amid fears of an economic slowdown and rising inflation.
For Malaysia, this signals increased uncertainty, particularly for export-driven sectors, with the FBM KLCI plunging below 1,500. While selling pressure on Wall Street eased overnight, offering slight hope for Bursa Malaysia today, analysts recommend a defensive stance.
Sectors like REITs, Utilities, and Healthcare (excluding gloves) are favored for stability, while cyclical sectors face caution. Technical indicators show the FBM KLCI in oversold territory, with support at 1,420 and resistance at 1,500.
