The Malaysian stock market opened lower on February 5, 2026, with the FBM KLCI closing down 5.23 points at 1,489.15. This decline was primarily influenced by a generally subdued sentiment across regional markets, including dips in Hong Kong and Singapore bourses. Investors adopted a wait-and-see approach ahead of more fourth-quarter corporate earnings reports. Market volume stood at 3.25 billion shares valued at RM2.18 billion. Key decliners included Maybank and Public Bank, while Tenaga Nasional saw a slight uptick.
