Malaysia's energy sector took center stage today amidst the backdrop of continuously rising international crude oil prices. Brent crude futures breached US$85 per barrel, reaching a multi-month high, providing strong upward momentum for local oil and gas-related stocks. Petronas Gas Bhd saw its share price climb 2.1% to RM17.50, while Yinson Holdings Bhd also recorded a 1.8% gain.
