Genting-related stocks help drive FBM KLCI higher

Genting announced that its Resort World Genting will reopen tomorrow.

PETALING JAYA: The local stock market continued its upward momentum for a second day after a heavy selldown on Monday as investors are hoping for the economy to be back to pre-coronavirus (Covid-19) levels sooner than expected.

Yesterday, the local benchmark index FBM KLCI ended 8.6 points higher to 1,526.32, which is in line with many regional markets except for stock markets in South Korea and Japan.
