Bursa Malaysia closes firmer
KUALA LUMPUR, April 23 — Bursa Malaysia closed firmer today, lifted by positive investor sentiment in selected counters, namely Malaysia Airports, Tenaga, Hartalega and Top Glove, dealers said. At close, the benchmark FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI recovered 0.33 per cent or 5.38 points to 1,627.44 from Monday’s close of 1,622.06.
Volume slipped to 3.73 billion units worth RM2.47 billion against Monday’s 4.77 billion units valued at RM3.18 billion. “This also leaves the near-term outlook looking indifferent again. We think the mixed-to-lower market trend is likely to persist over the near-term. “Therefore, we still see the 1,630 level serving as the immediate resistance, followed by the 1,640 level.
Top gainers were Hartalega and Malaysia Airports followed by DLady which strengthened 30 sen to RM64.00 and BAT which rose 26 sen to RM36.52. Sector-wise, the Financial Services Index went up 6.22 points to 16,817.76, but the Plantation Index eased 16.41 points to 7,192.14, while the Industrial Products and Services Index gained 1.16 points to 170.15.
