Stock Market: Support from Local Institutions

The FBM KLCI added almost 3 points to stay above the 1,440 mark as market participation remains

Stock Market Outlook

“For today, we expect the benchmark index to hover within the 1,440-1,450 range attributed to buying support from local institutions. Meanwhile, crude oil prices eased due to a build-up in inventory as Brent crude dipped to below US$88/barrel,” says Rakuten.
