Bursa Malaysia rebounds in early trade, investors remain cautious

By Malay Mail

KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia rebounded in early trade on Friday, tracking Wall Street’s overnight recovery, although analysts expect investors to remain cautious and selective amid lingering concerns over US bond yields and oil prices.

Overnight, US stocks recovered from early losses to close slightly higher on Thursday as a global bond selloff eased, pulling Treasury yields back from multi-decade highs.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.04% to 50,926.74, the S&P 500 gained 0.20% to 7,666.48 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.04% to 26,871.60.

Back home, the FBM KLCI rebounded in early trade, gaining 5.37 points, or 0.33%, to 1,635.73 at 9.27am, supported by gains in selected heavyweights including banking, healthcare, energy and industrial stocks.
