Strong catalyst set to push up Bursa Malaysia next week

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 6 (Bernama): Bursa Malaysia is expected to trade higher next week, riding on strong catalysts including the United States’ US$1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package, the rollout of vaccination programmes worldwide and higher commodity prices.

"Bursa Malaysia is expected to be in consolidation mode with an upward bias to trade between 1,590 and 1,600 points next week,” Inter-Pacific Asset Management Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Datuk Dr Nazri Khan Adam Khan told Bernama.
