| KL shares remain steady at opening Posted: 10 Dec 2012 06:12 PM PST Share prices on Bursa Malaysia maintained yesterday's steady performance on continued buying interest prompted by positive regional sentiment, dealers said. After 15 minutes of trading, the barometer FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) was 7.59 points better at 1,639.74, after opening 1.67 points higher at 1,633.82. HwangDBS Vickers Research said the key FBM KLCI may be eager to extend its 14.38 points gains recorded yesterday by riding on the positive momentum, following a surprisingly robust performance, albeit, on thin volume. "On the chart, the benchmark index could be challenging the resistance threshold of 1,635 next," it said in a note today.
Meanwhile, another dealer said investors may be tempted to lock in gains when the market kicks off trade today after the local bourse finished above the 1,630 points plateau.
