MARKET PULSE PM JAN 07, 2026 [WATCH]

KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia closed higher, recovering from early losses and rising steadily throughout the session.

The rebound reflected a market still supported by domestic liquidity and selective buying, despite ongoing global uncertainties.

Regionally, sentiment was weighed down by renewed China–Japan trade tensions after Beijing imposed export controls on “dual-use” goods, which make up a significant portion of its exports to Japan.

Meanwhile, the ringgit declined against the US dollar to 4.0550.

In the crypto market, Bitcoin fell to RM375,355.

Ethereum fell to RM13,136, while Solana dropped to RM564.

That’s it for Market Pulse.
