Stocks
on Bursa Malaysia ended marginally higher last Friday as the local bourse
rebounded on the back of an improved risk appetite and in tandem with the upbeat
overnight performance of Wall Street, which embraced a bullish tone as the
Federal Reserve conveyed a bias towards delaying rates hike, but with some
flexibility on economic conditions. The benchmark FBM KLCI rebounded 0.34 point
or 0.02% towards the end of trading to 1,821.21, after moving between 1,811.74
and 1,825.65. On a weekly basis, the FBM KLCI rose 13.34 points from 1,807.87 on
previous Wednesday. Losers outpaced gainers by 484 to 367 with 302 counters
unchanged. Total volume rose to 2.2 billion shares worth RM2.7 billion
from 1.9 billion shares worth RM2 billion on Thursday. Weekly turnover
increased to 10.45 billion units, worth RM10.62 billion, from 4.62 billion
units, worth RM4.50 billion, recorded on the previous holiday-shortened week.
