Daily Market Report - 27 October 2025
  • It was another record breaking session on Wall Street as a cooling US inflation data spurred optimism that the Federal Reserve is staying on course to cut rates going forward.
  • As a result, all 3 major indices managed to touch record highs though the US 10-year yield remains elevated at 4.003%.
  • Over in Hong Kong, the HSI surged past the 26,000 thresholds boosted by China’s major economic targets over the next 5 years to step up tech self-reliance and improve the domestic market.
  • Back home, the FBM KLCI ended on a positive note amid a lacklustre session.
  • Daily trading volume has shrunk as retail participation may have been spooked by recent share price decline in Perak Transit.
  • Nonetheless, we remain hopeful that positive developments will emerge from the ongoing ASEAN meeting hence expect the index to hover within the 1,610-1,620 range today.
