What happened
On October 1, 2026, Bursa Malaysia opened lower, dragged down by losses in technology and semiconductor-related stocks following an overnight sell-off on Wall Street. The decline occurred as hotter-than-expected US inflation data reignited concerns over further interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. On Wall Street, the Nasdaq dropped 1.88% and the S&P 500 fell 1.11%.

Why it matters
The market decline was driven by inflation fears and the prospect of Federal Reserve interest rate hikes, which influenced regional stock performance. Technology and semiconductor stocks were among the top losers on Bursa Malaysia, indicating a direct link between US monetary policy outlook and local market valuations.
