Another blow for banking stocks


PETALING JAYA: Stocks on Bursa Malaysia, which have been the worst-performing in Asia this year, were dealt another blow as the probability of an interest rate cut hit banking stocks across the board.

Financial stocks, which account for the largest weightage on the FBM KLCI, were hit on the prospect of lower interest rates affecting their profitability.
