On February 5, the FBM KLCI closed at 1,488.20 points, down 0.15%, primarily due to a pullback in banking and energy stocks. Investor sentiment remained cautious, with regional market performance also influencing local equities.
KUALA LUMPUR, February 5, 2026 – The FBM KLCI closed at 1,488.20 points today, registering a marginal decline of 2.23 points or 0.15%. Market activity was subdued, with approximately 3.52 billion shares traded and a total value of RM2.38 billion. Key contributors to the index's decline included Maybank, which fell 0.5% to RM9.25, and Tenaga Nasional, which retreated 0.8% to RM11.50. Investors remained cautious ahead of the Lunar New Year holidays, and weaker performances in major regional markets like Singapore's Straits Times Index and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index also dampened local sentiment. Analysts anticipate continued range-bound trading in the short term until clearer catalysts emerge.
