KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia opened marginally lower on Tuesday, in line with the weaker sentiment in regional bourses as investors remain cautious ahead of key economic data in the US and China later this week.

At 9.15am, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI fell 0.27 points to 1,443.18 from yesterday’s close of 1,443.45. The index opened 0.66 of a point easier at 1,442.79.
