Event Summary

The Malaysia stock market, represented by the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI, ended its two-day winning streak, closing down 0.21 percent on Tuesday. This decline was influenced by weakness in industrials and mixed performances from financial, plantation, and telecom stocks. Meanwhile, Wall Street saw choppy trading with major averages finishing mixed, as traders awaited the release of the U.S. Labor Department's monthly jobs report. The report, delayed due to a brief government shutdown, is expected to show an increase in employment for January. Retail sales in the United States were unexpectedly flat in December, and import prices crept up in line with estimates. Crude oil prices also ticked lower ahead of the U.S. jobs data.
