KLCI advances in early trade

KUALA LUMPUR: The FBMKLCI advanced in early trade on Wednesday, Feb 9, propped by gains in DiGi'' and PPB while the broader market was higher as blue chips extended their recovery. However, concerns about China's move to raise interest rates could hold gains in check.

Hwang DBS Vickers Research said the slow and steady recovery process on Bursa Malaysia was expected to persist as the benchmark FBM KLCI makes its way towards the immediate resistance threshold of 1,550.

MTD rose 32 sen to a fresh high of RM11.02 with 30,900 shares done. DIGi added 24 sen to RM25.74 with 100 stocks done while PPB added 18 sen to RM17.08.
