| KL shares open higher in early trade Posted: 13 Jan 2013 06:04 PM PST Share prices on Bursa Malaysia opened higher in early trading Monday on renewed buying interest, dealers said. After 30 minutes of trading, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) gained 2.93 points to 1,685.63 after opening 3.71 points better at 1,686.41. HwangDBS Vickers Research, however, said the local bourse may extend its consolidation mode today in the absence of new market leads. "On the chart, its benchmark FBM KLCI could struggle to overcome the support-turned-resistance level of 1,685," it said.
On the local front, pending the emergence of fresh market directions, stocks that could add interest include SP Setia, after getting an overwhelming response for its first phase of the Battersea Power Station property project in London. Others include Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd amid a business weekly report saying that its non-aeronautical income is set to grow when KLIA2 comes on stream and Sime Darby following the Securities Commission's approval for its US$1.5 billion multi-currency Sukuk fund-raising programme. On the scoreboard, the Finance Index rose 11.55 points to 15,411.15, the Industrial Index improved 6.83 points to 2,804.70 and the Plantation Index added 8.97 points to 8,158.30. The FBM Emas Index gained 21.39 points to 11,460.69, the FBMT100 increased 19.79 points to 11,304.59, the FBM Mid 70 Index rose 22.67 points to 12,448.18 but the FBM Ace Index was 6.48 points lower at 4,271.85. Gainers led losers 159 to 99 with 173 counters unchanged, 1,211 untraded and 26 others were suspended. Volume was thin at 192 million shares worth RM56.67 million. Among actives, Patimas Computers earned half-a-sen to 15 sen, Kassets-CB:CW gained five sen to 10 sen but ETI Tech Corp fell one sen to 5.5 sen. Heavyweights, Maybank and Sime Darby added two sen each to RM9.02 and RM9.61, respectively, but CIMB eased two sen to RM7.64. -- Bernama
