KUALA LUMPUR: Domestic equities rose after the Thaipusam break, despite some global investors' anxiety over the US Federal Reserve chair's latest remarks that rate cuts may not materialise owing to the escalation of the trade war.
At the start of trading, the FBM KLCI was up 2.37 points to 1,592.32, playing catch up to Wall Street's Monday night gains on the back of a technology-stock rally.
