KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia ended sharply higher to close at its intra-day high on New Year's Eve, after wallowing in the red all day, owing primarily to bargain-hunting activities in the final hour of trading, a dealer said.
As at 5 pm, the benchmark FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) soared 23.92 points or 1.55 per cent to end at 1,567.53 compared with 1,543.61 at yesterday's close.
