Malaysia's technology sector led the market on Tuesday, with the Technology Index surging 1.8% to become the best-performing sector of the day. This robust performance was primarily driven by optimistic market expectations for a global semiconductor industry recovery and sustained demand growth from the continuous development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. Major tech stocks like Inari Amertron Bhd rose 2.5% to RM3.50, while Malaysian Pacific Industries Bhd (MPI) also recorded a 1.9% gain, closing at RM31.20. Analysts noted that despite global economic challenges, the long-term growth prospects for the semiconductor and Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) sectors remain solid. Many local tech companies are key players in the global supply chain and are poised to benefit from the upcoming technology upgrade cycle. Furthermore, government support policies for high-tech industries provided additional backing for the sector.
