Institution: By the end of 2025, there are selective opportunities in the Malaysian stock market.

Rakuten Trade Research stated in a statement that due to robust domestic liquidity, stable institutional participation, and improved market sentiment, the prospects for the Malaysian stock market are constructive as the year-end approaches, but opportunities will be selective. Holiday-driven consumption is expected to provide support for specific sectors until early 2026, as major festive events typically boost household spending and visibility of recent performance. The institution added that stable visitor arrivals, lower input costs due to the strengthening ringgit, and expectations of targeted cash assistance further support this outlook.
