KUALA LUMPUR: News on stock, crypto and ringgit moves.
Bursa Malaysia extended its rebound and closed higher today, buoyed by rising expectations of a potential de-escalation in the trade war.
Glove stocks led gains in the healthcare sector, following Malaysia’s recent ban on the export of non-locally made rubber gloves — a move anticipated to benefit domestic glove manufacturers.
The ringgit ended the day firmer against the US dollar at 4.3640.
In the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin climbed to RM413,502.
Ethereum also rose, reaching RM7,896, while Solana stood at RM661.
That wraps up today’s Market Pulse.
