KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI rebounded on Tuesday, March 29, in line with some of the earlier gains made at key regional markets on bargain hunting as Japan's Nikkei 225 pared down its losses.
However, the prevailing tepid sentiment saw some profit taking at the Hong Kong and China markets.
Some of this may reflect continuing uncertainty about how the Japan disaster, turmoil in the Arab world and global monetary policy will play out.
The FBM KLCI closed 5.84 points higher at 1,520.09.
Gainers beat losers by 543 to 264, while 269 counters traded unchanged. Volume was 1.76 billion shares valued at RM2.18 billion.

Meanwhile, South Korea's Kospi closed 0.77% higher at 2,072.13 and Taiwan's Taiex rose 0.51% to 8,596.57.
