MARKET PULSE PM AUG 5, 2025 [WATCH]
KUALA LUMPUR: News on stock, crypto and ringgit moves. Bursa Malaysia closed higher today, in line with the strong performance of key regional indices, following a positive cue from Wall Street overnight on expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut. Selective buying was seen in the utilities, banking, telecommunications, and technology sectors, while healthcare stocks edged lower. The FBM KLCI is expected to trend within the range of 1,530 to 1,545 this week. Meanwhile, the ringgit strengthened against the greenback to 4.2260. In the crypto market, Bitcoin fell to RM483,907 amid weak liquidity and fading institutional demand. Ethereum declined to RM15,399, while Solana fell to RM708. That wraps up today's Market Pulse.

Bargain hunting lifts Bursa Malaysia to end at intraday high
KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia ended at its intra-day high on Tuesday as bargain hunting in selected heavyweights pushes the market up amid the stronger regional market performance. At 5pm, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) rose 11.66 points or 0.76 per cent to close at 1,538.64 from Monday's close of 1,526.98.

Turnover rose to 2.87 billion units worth RM2.75 billion from 2.63 billion units worth RM1.94 billion on Monday. UOB Kay Hian Wealth Advisors Sdn Bhd's head of investment research Mohd Sedek Jantan said the local market appears to be stabilising, providing near-term support for equity valuations and risk appetite, with global monetary policy turning incrementally dovish and geopolitical tensions easing. "The rising expectations of United States (US) Federal Reserve rate cuts reinforced a pro-risk environment, particularly benefitting sectors with inverse sensitivity to interest rate volatility. "Additionally, regional equity markets closed mostly higher, buoyed by improved geopolitical sentiment and policy signals from China," he told Bernama. Among the heavyweights, Maybank and Tenaga Nasional rose 12 sen each to RM9.66 and RM13.28, IHH Healthcare gained 15 sen to RM6.85, while Public Bank and CIMB were flat at RM4.24 and RM6.75 respectively. Of the most active counters, TWL remained unchanged at 2.5 sen, Pharmaniaga advanced half-a-sen to 18.5 sen, while Top Glove lost two sen to 63.5 sen, Tanco and Sinaran Advance Group both inched down half-a-sen to 81.5 sen and 1.5 sen
