Bursa ends lower amid US Treasury yields, tech weakness BURSA Malaysia ended lower yesterday, as elevated US Treasury yields and weakness in technology stocks weighed on investor sentiment, an analyst said. However, gains in healthcare and telecommunications stocks provided some support to the broader local market. At 5pm, the FBM KLCI eased 2.04 points, or 0.12%, to 1,731.32. On the broader market, losers outpaced gainers 701 to 478, while 563 counters were unchanged, 1,131 untraded and 16 suspended. IPPFA Sdn Bhd director of investment strategy and country economist Mohd Sedek Jantan said the weakness in growth stocks was concentrated particularly in technology counters, reflecting renewed pressure on high-valuation stocks as US bond yields moved higher. Among the heavyweights, Maybank gained two sen to RM10.64, Public Bank added four sen to RM5.15 and IHH Healthcare increased 15 sen to RM8.30, while CIMB Group lost four sen to RM7.91, and Tenaga Nasional slid two sen to RM14.40. On the most active list, Zetrix AI climbed two sen to 65.5 sen, JAKS Resources eased one sen to 12 sen, Pentech Holdings perked up 2.5 sen to 31.5 sen, Nexgram Holdings was flat at six sen, and AirAsia Group erased seven sen to 91.5 sen. As for the top gainers, Batu Kawan and Dutch Lady Milk Industries put on 44 sen each to RM21 and RM31.94, respectively, Nestle went up 30 sen to RM104, while Malayan Cement and Ayer Holdings garnered 25 sen each to RM6.60 and RM7.50, respectively. Among top losers, Malaysian Pacific Industries sank RM1.92 to RM46.10. United Plantations slipped 60 sen to RM32, Mi Technovation fell 20 sen to RM6.25, while both SD Guthrie and Johor Plantations shed 17 sen to RM6.54, and RM1.88, respectively. – Bernama
