Market Daily Report: Bursa Malaysia Ends Lower On Cautious Sentiment

KUALA LUMPUR, March 3 (Bernama) -- Bursa Malaysia ended lower for the third consecutive day today as investors remained cautious ahead of a key trade policy announcement from the United States (US) President Donald Trump.

At 5 pm, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) eased 3.31 points or 0.21 per cent to 1,571.39 from last Friday’s close of 1,574.70. 



The market bellwether opened 2.43 points lower at 1,572.27, and moved between 1,568.59 and 1,580.80 throughout the day. 

On the broader market, decliners beat gainers 707 to 354, while 425 counters were unchanged, 831 untraded, and six suspended. 

Turnover narrowed to 3.18 billion units worth RM2.44 billion from 4.39 billion units worth RM6.45 billion last Friday. 

UOB Kay Hian Wealth Advisors Sdn Bhd head of investment research Mohd Sedek Jantan said the looming decision on the US tariffs targeting Canada, Mexico, and China has amplified market uncertainty, prompting investors to reduce exposure to equities amid heightened geopolitical risks.

“While the trade dispute primarily involves the US and China, its spillover effects continue to influence local market sentiment and Malaysia’s trade exposure,” he told Bernama. 

He said that with trade tensions escalating and policy uncertainty persisting, market participants will likely remain cautious, favouring defensive positioning and selective opportunities in sectors resilient to external shocks.

“Moving forward, clarity on trade negotiations will be a critical catalyst for sentiment and market direction,” he added. 

Meanwhile, Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd vice-president of equity research Thong Pak Leng said the FBM KLCI closed with a marginal decline amid subdued market sentiment.

“Regional markets were mixed as investors awaited further clarity on Trump’s tariff measures against key trading partners,” he said. 

He noted that the US secretary of commerce Howard Lutnick reaffirmed that the additional 10 per cent tariff on Chinese imports was confirmed.

“On the other hand, the upcoming two-session meetings in China will be closely observed by investors for guidance on economic policies and potential stimulus efforts,” he said. 

Back home, Thong expects the local bourse to stay prudent given the major change in macro situation and anticipates the benchmark index to remain in consolidation mode in the near term until more clarity surfaces.

“As such, we anticipate the FBM KLCI to trend within the range of 1,560-1,590 for the week,” he added. 

Bursa Malaysia heavyweights Public Bank gained 3.0 sen to RM4.56, CIMB perked up 19.0 sen to RM8.00, Tenaga Nasional added 10.0 sen to RM13.70, Maybank decreased 4.0 sen to RM10.68, and IHH Healthcare shrank 3.0 sen to RM7.42. 

As for the actives, MY EG picked up 6.0 sen to 93.5 sen, Pantech Global fell 10.5 sen to 57.5 sen, Cape EMS lost 2.5 sen to 24.5 sen, and Nationgate Holdings slipped 55.0 sen to RM1.30, while Genting Malaysia was flat at RM1.90.

In a Bursa Malaysia filing today, it said that the intraday short selling (IDSS) for Nationgate Holdings stock has been suspended for the rest of the day as the last done price of the approved securities dropped more than 15 per cent or 15 sen from the reference price.

“The short selling under IDSS will only be activated the following trading day, March 4, 2025 at 8.30 am,” it added. 

On the index board, the FBM Emas Index lost 24.43 points to 11,711.89, the FBMT 100 Index declined 17.20 points to 11,479.37, the FBM Emas Shariah Index slid 63.76 points to 11,348.03, and the FBM ACE Index was 64.92 points easier at 4,692.07.

特朗普考虑保罗·阿特金斯接任SEC主席,或推动加密货币监管转型

据彭博社报道,美国候任总统唐纳德·特朗普正在考虑由 保罗·阿特金斯 (Paul Atkins)接替即将卸任的证券交易委员会(SEC)主席 加里·根斯勒 (Gary Gensler)。阿特金斯以其支持数字资产的立场闻名,这一任命可能为SEC的加密货币监管政策带来重大转变。 事件概况 阿特金斯的背景 : 阿特金斯曾在乔治·W·布什政府期间担任SEC专员。他一直推动制定明确且平衡的加密货币法规,力求为金融科技创新提供支持。 行业经验 : 离开SEC后,阿特金斯领导了 Patomak Global Partners ,一家为主要金融公司提供咨询的机构。他主张简化监管流程以鼓励创新,同时确保市场完整性。 其他候选人 : 马克·乌耶达 (Mark Uyeda):现任SEC专员 希斯·塔伯特 (Heath Tarbert):前商品期货交易委员会(CFTC)主席 罗伯特·斯特宾斯 (Robert Stebbins):Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP合伙人 特朗普的亲加密货币立场 特朗普承诺终结根斯勒领导下的SEC“反加密货币运动”。根斯勒的任期因FTX崩盘等丑闻后的强力执法而备受争议,被批评为给行业带来了不确定性。 阿特金斯的潜在任命与特朗普的目标一致,即在保障市场完整性的同时,通过更加友好的监管政策推动数字资产的发展。 接下来会发生什么? SEC主席的任命预计将在未来几天内敲定。如果阿特金斯接任,这将表明SEC将采取更注重创新的监管方式,为加密货币行业带来更大的确定性和发展空间。

Capital A 股价下跌,因外汇驱动的第三季度业绩低于预期

Capital A Bhd 在周五早盘交易中股价下跌7%,至1.01令吉,市值降至46亿令吉。这是由于其2024财年第三季度业绩未达到大多数分析师预期,尽管受益于外汇收益提振。 2024财年第三季度亮点: 核心税后及少数股东权益后亏损 (Latmi):  1.434亿令吉,令2024财年前9个月的税后亏损达到1.195亿令吉。 业绩未达  香港联昌投资银行(HLIB)预计的7.549亿令吉的税后净利(Patmi),但与市场普遍预测的4.59亿令吉税后净利一致。 剔除例外项目 (EIs):  共计12亿令吉,主要由于15亿令吉的外汇收益,但被递延税务损失部分抵销。 环比表现: 核心Latmi从上一季度的5,760万令吉恶化至1.434亿令吉,主要受以下因素影响: 季节性收益率疲弱; 成本增加; ADE MRO(维修、保养及翻修)业务因6个新机库的启动成本造成亏损。 未来展望: 预计2024财年第四季度表现将有所改善,得益于: 更高的机队容量; 季节性需求和收益率的改善; 喷气燃料价格下降及美元贬值; 来自新ADE机库的运营贡献。 待决事项: 航空业务出售:  正等待法院批准出售给亚航长途(AirAsia X Bhd, KL:AAX),预计在2025财年第一季度完成。 PN17状态:  出售后仍维持,预计在2025财年上半年完成相关解决方案。 联昌投资银行(HLIB)建议: 维持“买入”评级,目标价为1.68令吉,估值基于航空业务为68亿令吉,非航空业务为21.5亿令吉。 尽管短期面临挑战,Capital A 的长期增长前景依然受到更强的季节性表现和战略举措的支持。
