Bursa Malaysia Midday Recap: FBM KLCI Holds Steady Despite Sector Weakness
The FBM KLCI kick-started the week on a positive note, although it remained below the 1,600 level. The broad market sided with the bears, with most sector indices turning red by the midday break. The financial sector opened higher compared to last Friday, led by gains in PBBANK and MAYBANK, while the technology sector also saw some upward movement. In contrast, risk-off sectors (utilities, healthcare, telco & media, and REITs) remained in negative territory.
With gains observed in the financial sector, PBBANK (Target Price: MYR 5.20) and CIMB (Target Price: MYR 9.20) present potential trading opportunities. For more details, explore the full report on the Maybank Trade MY app today.
