Inter-Pacific Asset Management Sdn Bhd executive director and fund manager Datuk Nazri Khan Adam Khan said the benchmark index is expected to reach 1,450 points this week on the back of improving investor sentiment amid stronger economic data reported earlier last week.

PETALING JAYA: Bursa Malaysia is likely to trade higher this week, partly due to investors scaling back their expectations on the risk of a global slowdown, says an analyst.

Inter-Pacific Asset Management Sdn Bhd executive director and fund manager Datuk Nazri Khan Adam Khan said the benchmark index is expected to reach 1,450 points this week on the back of improving investor sentiment amid stronger economic data reported earlier last week.

“Malaysia’s economic data is better than expected. Employment and manufacturing data are stronger than pre-Covid-19, making the recession fears unfounded,” he told Bernama.

Last Thursday, the Statistics Department reported that the number of unemployed persons in May 2022 continued to decline with a reduction of 1.8% to 637,700 persons, from 649,300 persons the previous month.

The labour force situation in May 2022 also remained resilient, registering a month-on-month increase in the labour force with 0.2% to a record 16.54 million persons, from 16.5 million persons in April.

Last week, the local bourse was traded mostly lower amid the prevailing cautious sentiment in the market. Last Wednesday, Bank Negara decided to increase the overnight policy rate by 25 basis points for the second consecutive session, raising the interest rate to 2.25%.

The commodities rout had also weighed on the Energy Index and Plantation Index.
