Bursa ends in the red as geopolitical tensions, tariff plans rattle markets

KUALA LUMPUR : Bursa Malaysia closed lower today, weighed down by heavy selling in technology, healthcare, and logistics stocks, as risk-off sentiment intensified following escalating geopolitical tensions and Washington's plan to impose unilateral tariffs within the next two weeks. UOB Kay Hian Wealth Advisors Sdn Bhd head of investment research Sedek Jantan said the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) closed lower today as geopolitical tensions resurfaced, sending shockwaves through regional markets and sharply dampening investor sentiment. 'Today's trading session bears a striking resemblance to market behaviour in 2022, the first day of the Russia-Ukraine war – though this time, the escalation involves two major oil-exporting nations, following Israel's strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities,' he told Bernama. Among regional peers, Malaysia continues to show relative resilience, similar to its performance during the Ukraine crisis, supported by its position as a net commodity exporter. 'At the time, surging crude palm oil and oil and gas prices supported a rotation into defensives such as utilities and plantations. 'A similar sectoral shift could re-emerge should the current volatility persist,' he added. Meanwhile, Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd equity research vice-president Thong Pak Leng said heightened risk-off sentiment was triggered by Israel's strikes on Iran and escalating tensions in the Middle East. 'Additionally, trade tensions resurfaced after US president Donald Trump cautioned that auto tariffs could be raised soon, just a day after claiming the US-China deal was completed,' he said. 'On the domestic front, we prefer to stay prudent in light of the sudden shift in the macroeconomic environment and acknowledge that investor sentiment may remain volatile,' Thong added. At 5pm, the FBM KLCI slipped 8.51 points, or 0.56%, to 1,518.11 from yesterday's close of 1,526.62.
