KUALA LUMPUR: Share prices on Bursa Malaysia remained higher mid-afternoon, lifted by selected blue chips following the positive sentiment on Wall Street, dealers said.
At 3.01 pm, the benchmark FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) stood at 1,804.73, up 0.25 of a point, with Hong Leong Financial Group, Genting Bhd and Maybank among the top gainers.
Dealers said the positive external vibes could lift sentiments on Malaysian equities although a surprise surge in US jobs growth heightened expectations that the Federal Reserve would start reducing their stimulus by year-end.
The benchmark FBM KLCI was expected to pull further away from the psychological mark of 1,800 ahead, they said.
