Market Thoughts
US stocks rose to fresh all-time highs on Tuesday as Pfizer started to roll out its coronavirus vaccine in the U.K., lifting hope of the economy recovering in the near future. Meanwhile, European stocks closed marginally higher, amid optimism over coronavirus vaccinations and as post-Brexit trade talks between the U.K. and EU continued to yield little progress.
On the local front, the FBM KLCI rose 8.81 points or 0.54% to 1631.70 points, lifted by glove counters. However, market breadth was negative with 594 gainers as compared to 652 losers. The local bourse is expected to trend sideways today to hover below its resistance level of 1645 points.
