Malaysia Stock Market May Give Up Support At 1,700 Points

Kuala Lumpur Composite Index slipped again on Thursday after a two-day slide that saw it lose more than 20 points (~1.1%), leaving the index just above the 1,710 level and expected to open lower. The move suggests modest local risk-off and short-term volatility in Malaysian equities, likely confined to domestic market flows rather than broader EM contagion.
