KUALA LUMPUR: The FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) posted a new record high, in early trading this morning, prompted by strong buying interest in heavyweight counters.
At 9.08 am, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) garnered 6.03 points to 1,824.18, after opening at 1,825.26. The previous all-time high of 1,818.93 was registered on Oct 24. Losers led gainers 116 to 77, with 106 counters unchanged, 1,267 untraded and 20 others were suspended. Turnover stood at 65.54 million shares valued at RM72.94 million.
HwangDBS Vickers Research said the local bourse was expected to challenge the immediate resistance level of 1,825, from local developments, as well as, the unexpected positive manufacturing data in the United States.
The top gainer this morning was Tenaga Nasional. Its share price soared RM1.19 to RM11.08, after opening at RM10.80.
"The stock price jumped after the counter resumed trading after its suspension following the announcement that it was raising electricity tariffs by 15 per cent, on average, next year.
"Stocks exposed to the impending tariff hikes would also see trading action, particularly cement, airports, gloves, steel and REITs," HwangDBS Vickers Research said in a note.
