KUALA LUMPUR: A series of hot US inflation data and threat of escalating geopolitical conflict has taken the shine off global equities, sending Bursa Malaysia counters to the red as it opened for trading on Monday.
The FBM KLCI's opening mirrored the negative performance of the US stock indices, falling 5.59 points to 1,545.45, as investors continued to take profit after two days of decline.
