KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI rebounded on Monday, April 18 and briefly surpassed the 1,530 point-level before paring down some of its gains.
Regional markets mostly retreated on renewed nervousness ahead of quarterly earnings results and lingering worries about indebted euro zone countries.

At 5pm, the benchmark index was up 5.98 points to 1,527.92, lifted by gains including at Genting, YTL Corp, CIMB and Gamuda.
