KUALA LUMPUR: Sustained fund buying of plantations and banks pushed the FBM KLCI to close near 1,840 on Wednesday, the highest since Oct 3, reflecting the strong investor sentiment in key Asian markets.

At 5pm, the KLCI was up 13.87 points or 0.76% to 1,839.55, which was a marked contrast from the recent trough of 1,767 on Oct 16 when foreign funds stepped up their selling of Malaysian equities.
