No easy passage for the bulls


REVIEW: Share prices on Bursa Malaysia kicked off the week on a firmer platform, with the benchmark FBM Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (FBM KLCI) rebounding 2.89 points, or 0.19% to 1,493.53 on bargain hunting interest.

The overall underlying sentiment was positive in early business, as investors found some encouragement from the weekend meeting of the Group of 20 major economies after they agreed to shun competitive currency devaluations, prompting expectations that the greenback would grow weaker, thus stoking appetite for emerging market stocks.
