“We were surprised by the weak performance of the FBM KLCI as sentiment remained cautious ahead of the Fed rate announcement.
“Nonetheless, we believe buyers to return following the Fed’s big rate cut which is positive for regional currencies. Therefore, we expect the index to hover within the 1,660-1,670 range today,” says Rakuten.
