FBM KLCI: 1,632.47 pts (+2.74pts, +0.17%)

Tracking the positive sentiment in the regional stockmarkets, the FBM KLCI finished 0.2% higher after lingering mostly in the green, ahead of the European Central Bank policy meeting. Crude oil prices, however, fell on Wednesday - led by worries that the planned OPEC production cut will be insufficient to offset oversupply in the market. Market sentiment was tepid with 414 decliners and 283 gainers, while 377 companies finished unchanged. Heavyweight advancers include Petronas Gas (+18.0 sen), Axiata (+12.0 sen) and Genting Malaysia (+9.0 sen).
