Furthermore, the leap continues for three days in a row following the increase in stock prices of Telco companies and Petronas-linked companies.

On the fifth day, the gaining streak fell following the decrease in stocks that also brought KLCI to its record high.

This is due to investors that decided to take profit after four days of the gaining streak.
