  • Traders are beginning to realise that valuations for AI related stocks are seriously stretched, hence expecting a pullback.
  • Meanwhile, the US 10-year yield eased marginally to 4.083%.
  • As for Hong Kong, the HSI dipped to just below the 26,000 level as traders turned cautious over the elevated valuations of AI related stocks amid a deescalation of trade tension between China and the US.
  • Back home, the FBM KLCI ended flat despite a solid morning session as overall sentiment became nervy amid a weak regional performance.
  • Trading remains lacklustre as illustrated by the daily volume which is still stuck within the 3.0-3.5bn shares.

Daily Market Report - 4 November 2025
  • Wall Street closed mixed as AI related stocks continue to prosper with the Nasdaq touching another record high.
  • However, outside the AI theme most stocks ended in the red. Meanwhile, the US 10-year yield edged higher at 4.108%.
  • Over in Hong Kong, the HSI rebounded to above the 26,000 level following recent trade negotiations that seems to soothe the overall investment climate and eased the tension between the two superpowers.
  • Back home, the FBM KLCI surprisingly surged beyond the 1,620 mark underpinned by solid accumulation of blue chips throughout yesterday’s session.
  • While we expect the local institutions to be the main buyers, we also suspect some foreign funds may also have been net buyers following a net foreign outflow of RM19bn year to date.
  • In view of this, we hope that the foreign funds will stay a tad longer thus anticipating the index to trend between the 1,620-1,630 range today.
