KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's main stock index plunged 1.9% in the early session as investors fled risky assets in light of the rising tariffs conflict between the US and its trading partners.
At 12.30pm, the FBM KLCI was down 28.42 points to 1,491.73, falling below the 1,500 psychological support to signal a new leg in the market's ongoing downtrend.
