Bursa Malaysia Opens Lower as Selected Technology Shares Rise

Bursa Malaysia’s benchmark opened lower at 1,585.49, but gainers outnumbered decliners at 9.15am and selected technology shares rose.

Kuala Lumpur, 13 November 2026 – Bursa Malaysia’s benchmark opened 0.47 points lower at 1,585.49 on 13 November after Wall Street ended the previous session in the red. The FTSE Bursa Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Composite Index was at 1,584.91 at 9.15am Malaysia time, against Thursday’s close of 1,585.96. It eased to 1,584.55 a minute later. The opening came after NVIDIA Corporation confirmed that Jensen Huang had resigned as chief executive, though several Malaysian technology shares rose in early trading.

For Malaysian investors, the early figures tell two different stories. The main index slipped, but more stocks rose than fell in the wider market at 9.15am. That means the benchmark was not a reliable description of every company trading on Bursa. The figures are also early-session readings, not closing prices. They show how local investors opened the day, not where they would value the market once more trading had taken place.
