Bursa Opens Slightly Higher As Investors Track Regional Sentiment And Earnings Cues
Bursa Malaysia opened marginally higher on Tuesday, with the FBM KLCI inching up 0.05% or 0.78 points to 1,525.37 at 9.17 am, supported by cautious optimism ahead of key corporate earnings and global economic data.

The F4GBM Shariah index rose 0.08%, reflecting mild buying interest in Shariah-compliant counters. Investor sentiment remained mixed as regional markets looked to Wall Street's muted performance overnight, amid persistent uncertainty over the US Federal Reserve's next policy move and China's ongoing property sector troubles. NexG continued to dominate trading on the local bourse, rising 1 sen to 51.5 sen with over 239 million shares exchanged, followed by TWL Holdings and ICENTURY, which also saw active buying interest. Meanwhile, global investors are closely watching earnings season developments in the US and key macro data due this week, including inflation prints from Europe and Japan. Domestically, investors are also assessing recent government statements on fiscal measures and subsidy rationalisation plans, which may influence market sentiment in the near term. Related
