  "account": "Bursa Malaysia closed lower on Thursday due to moderate selling pressure and elevated global bond yields, dampening investor sentiment. The FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI index fell 4.12 points, or 0.24%, to 1,672.31, from the previous close of 1,676.43. Brent crude futures surged 3.3% to US$106.50 per barrel, adding to concerns that higher energy costs could contribute to inflationary pressures and maintain higher interest rates for longer. As a result, risk appetite remained cautious, with investors favoring defensive and commodity-linked sectors. Major Malaysian stocks experienced mixed performance, with Maybank, Public Bank, and Tenaga Nasional among those under pressure. The broader market saw a decrease in the FBM Mid 70 Index, FBM Emas Index, and FBM Top 100 Index, while the FBM ACE Index showed a slight gain.",
