  "summary": "Bursa Malaysia commenced trading on a lower note on Wednesday, as investors seized profits from certain heavyweights in the market, dampening recent gains in light of ongoing United States-Iran negotiations. The index, which mirrored the mixed trend observed on Wall Street, where the Nasdaq peaked intraday, closed 0.35% lower at 1,677.52, down from Tuesday’s close of 1,683.50. At the opening bell, the benchmark index slipped 5.98 points, or 0.35%, to 1,682.19, while market breadth was nearly balanced with more losses than gains. A total of 306 stocks remained unchanged, with 2,205 untraded and 27 suspended. Trading volume amounted to 227.52 million shares, valued at RM119.54 million.",
