Southeast Asian stock markets face declines in Indonesia and Malaysia
Stock markets in Indonesia and Malaysia experienced significant downturns as regional indices faced consecutive losses. In Indonesia, the IDX Composite fell 0.40% to reach a one-month low, driven by declines in the finance, agriculture, and basic industry sectors. The index has seen a total decline of 4.59% over the past week.
In Malaysia, the FBM KLCI dropped 1.56% to 1,630.36, marking a period of volatility for the bourse. The decline was largely attributed to heavy selling in banking stocks, alongside losses in the plantation, energy, and industrial sectors. Market sentiment in Malaysia has been pressured by fluctuations in US Treasury yields and global market influences.
While regional markets faced headwinds, some commodities showed movement, with crude oil prices rising following reports regarding Chinese refinery export suspensions.
