M+ Market Wrap - 24 Oct 24

FBM KLCI: 1,632.23 pts (-9.30pts, -0.57%)

The FBMKLCI (-0.57%) ended the day on a negative note, as weaker sentiment was observed in selected Banking heavyweights like CIMB (-5.0 sen) and MAYBANK (-4.0 sen), mirroring the Asian markets' performances. This maybe driven by ongoing concerns in the U.S. of a slower pace of Fed rate cuts, which has contributed to the negative sentiment. The market breadth was negative, with losers outnumbering gainers by 712-to-312 stocks. In the broader market, all sectors were red except for the Telco & Media sector, which extended its gain (+0.48%), led by MAXIS (+2.0 sen) and ASTRO (+1.0 sen).
