KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia opened lower on Thursday as cautious investor sentiment persisted, despite overnight gains on Wall Street.

The benchmark index opened 3.61 points lower at 1,591.58.

Market sentiment remained subdued amid concerns over higher-than-expected October inflation data, which weighed on investor confidence.

In the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin saw a downtrend, trading at RM302,006.

Ethereum also declined to RM8,418, while Solana traded at RM341.

That's it for Market Pulse.
