PETALING JAYA: Despite a broad-based decline across Bursa Malaysia so far this year, a couple of sectors have managed to weather the storm.
Year-to-date (YTD), only the real estate investment trusts (REITs) and construction sectors posted gains – up 6.2% and 0.8% respectively – even as the benchmark FBM KLCI, which tracks the 30 largest companies on the local bourse by market capitalisation, fell 6.5%, according to CIMB Research.
