Investors expected to stay on sidelines of local stock market


Market observers believe that the prevailing mood remains cautiously positive and advise stock-picking on value.

A report by MIDF Investment Bank Bhd showed that foreign investors were net buyers on Friday after the first four days of last week in which they were marginal net sellers.
