Malaysian equities opened higher on Monday but succumbed to profit-taking in the afternoon session, leading the FBM KLCI to close down 0.35% at 1,545.20 points. Total trading volume for the day reached 4.2 billion shares valued at RM2.8 billion, indicating active market participation. While blue-chip stocks faced selling pressure, small and mid-cap counters performed relatively better.
