BURSA Malaysia’s key index ended lower today but the broader market was positive, in line with most regional markets, amid mixed signals from Wall Street as investors turned cautious ahead of the highly anticipated United States Federal Reserve’s (Fed) policy announcement later tonight.
The US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) began its two-day policy meeting on Tuesday and will conclude it today.
At 5 pm, the FBM KLCI eased 3.17 points, or 0.20 per cent, to 1,611.00 from Tuesday’s close of 1,614.17.
The benchmark index opened 3.13 points lower at 1,611.04 and slipped to its lowest point of 1,606.11 during the morning session, before gradually recovering and reaching its intraday high of 1,612.50 in late trading.
The broader market was positive, with gainers leading decliners 515 to 472. A total of 608 counters were unchanged, 1,154 were untraded and 12 suspended.
Turnover increased to 3.86 bil units worth RM2.21 bil from 2.66 bil units worth RM2.09 bil on Tuesday. —Dec 10, 2025
