Market Thoughts
US stocks declined overnight as negotiations over a coronavirus relief deal dragged on. Lawmakers seek to pass a bill before lifelines expire at the end of 2020. Without fresh stimulus, millions of Americans could lose unemployment benefits in the new year. Meanwhile, weekly jobless claims jumped last week to 853,000, the highest total since Sept. 19, as new lockdown restrictions weighed on businesses amid rising coronavirus cases. Earlier, European stocks closed lower Thursday as investors tracked the parlous state of Brexit trade talks, as well as fresh stimulus measures from the European Central Bank (ECB).
On the local front, the FBM KLCI gained 7.86 points to 1654.39 points. The local bourse is expected to extend its uptrend towards resistance level of 1695 points.
