MARKET PULSE PM MAY 29, 2025 [WATCH]
KUALA LUMPUR: News on stock, crypto and ringgit moves.

The ringgit also weakened against the US dollar, slipping to 4.2370. In the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin maintained its upward momentum, reaching RM460,576. Ethereum and Solana also followed the positive trend, rising to RM11,570 and RM734, respectively. That wraps up today's Market Pulse.
