Stock market likely to remain volatile

Foreign shareholdings

PETALING JAYA: The stock market has been tumultuous since the start of the year and investors should brace for the volatility to continue in the near-term.

Over the past few weeks, the local stock market has been on a decline, taking a cue from the heightened volatility in the global stock markets especially in the United States, as investors are concerned if the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will raise interest rates faster and more aggressively than expected.
