Bursa Malaysia ended marginally lower after moving cautiously in a tight range ahead of the release of US jobs data later on Friday (Sept 2), and tracking the weakness in most regional peers, said a dealer.
Bursa Malaysia ended the morning trading session broadly lower ahead of Bank Negara Malaysia's Monetary Policy Meeting on Tuesday (July 5), with market participants anticipating another 25-basis-point hike, aimed at taming inflationary pressures.
Bursa Malaysia was mixed at midday on continuous buying support for selective heavyweights, while profit-taking was also seen mainly in healthcare and energy stocks, analysts said.
