Bursa rebounds on bargain hunting, tracking regional gains BURSA Malaysia rebounded after two days of losses to close higher yesterday, driven by bargain-hunting activities and in line with the upbeat regional market performance. At 5pm, the FBM KLCI rose 14.43 points or 0.85% to 1,710.99. The market bellwether opened 6.60 points higher at 1,703.16, and fluctuated between 1,701.19 and 1,713.25 throughout the day. Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd vice-president of equity research Thong Pak Leng said across the region, markets moved higher, led by technology stocks after Nvidia delivered a strong outlook on artificial intelligence. “Investor sentiment was further lifted by expectations that major economies may tap into petroleum reserves to ease supply concerns, following US President Donald Trump’s call to protect the Strait of Hormuz. “Despite this, risks to the key shipping lane remain, keeping inflation concerns elevated ahead of upcoming central bank meetings,” he told Bernama. Among heavyweights, Maybank added 12 sen to RM11.60, Public Bank and CIMB went up 6 sen each to RM4.86 and RM7.86, Tenaga Nasional was 2 sen firmer at RM14.20, and IHH Healthcare edged up 4 sen to RM8.93. On the most active list, Pharmaniaga perked up 2 sen to 27.5 sen, ACE Market debutant Adnex climbed 5 sen to 25 sen, Zetrix AI put on 1 sen to 78.5 sen, V.S Industry inched up 1.5 sen to 30 sen, while Velesto Energy eased half-a-sen to 32 sen. Top gainers included United Plantations which added 74 sen to RM34, Allianz Malaysia increased 40 sen to RM21.56, Itmax System jumped 30 sen to RM4.74, Hong Leong Bank advanced 36 sen to RM22.80, and Petronas Chemicals gained 37 sen to RM4.95.
