Towards 2026 with a lesson in hand


WITH seven trading days left till the end of 2025, the FBM KLCI has clocked in a marginal gain of 1.4%. This would undoubtedly be considered as a disappointing year for many investors who had high hopes of further gains following the 12.9% on-year returns witnessed in 2024 for the 30-stock benchmark index.

Bullish analysts were predicting the benchmark to close above the 1,750 mark in 2025 at the start of the year, but unfortunately this was not to be. (The FBM KLCI closed at 1,665.90 on Friday.)
