FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI outlook next week march 19-23 2012

FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI outlook next week march 19-23 2012 ; The FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) is likely to trend higher next week on global equity upside momentum, a stronger Wall Street and the fall in oil price. Dr Nazri Khan, vice president, head of retail research of Affin Investment Bank, said on the technical front, the key index was still holding above the 20-, 50- and 200-day moving averages.

"This suggests that the longer-term uptrend remains intact and the local benchmark is poised for the next upleg at 1,600," he told Bernama.

Nazri expected the bulls to remain in control with support levels pegged at 1,565 and 1,550 and resistance sighted at 1,580 and 1,600 level.

He said the market was now likely to reverse higher on improvement in the eurozone liquidity and the absence of US double-dip recession.

For the week just-ended, Bursa Malaysia showed a mixed trend as investor sentiment was listed by improved US economy outlook and dragged by concerns on China's growth outlook.
