The Malaysian technology sector showed weakness today, with the Technology Index falling 1.5%, making it one of the worst-performing sectors. Key tech companies like Inari Amertron declined by 2.1%, while Vitrox fell 1.8%. Investor sentiment was impacted by an uncertain global semiconductor industry outlook, with concerns over supply chain disruptions and inventory adjustments persisting in the short term, despite strong long-term demand.
