Malaysia Stock Market - End of the Day

This might not be a strong reversal but so long as no significant pull-back for FBMKLCI, low-liners will catch up the train and move ahead.

Asian stock markets were mostly higher Tuesday, led by a surge in Japanese stocks on signs of progress in containing the country's nuclear crisis, but markets remained watchful of fresh developments in Libya.

"Obviously we were priced for Armageddon last week, but I think the easy snap-back gains have probably been seen and now we will see if investors are prepared to buy on strength and bet that the Japanese nuclear crisis is over and oil prices aren't going to derail global markets," said Ben Potter, market strategist at IG Markets.

At closing, Japanese market gained 4.36%, China 0.34%, Hong Kong 0.76%, Singapore 0.63% and Malaysia 0.01%.

FBMKLCI

FBMKLCI opened with nearly 6-point gain but slumped towards the negative zone immediately. The index then hovered along the zero level for the rest of the day and finished almost at par at 1,509.10 (+0.22/0.01%). Total Volume was 1,434m (+239m), gainer 518 and loser 250.
