KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI closed sharply higher on Wednesday as bargain-hunting emerged following losses in the previous session, amid a mixed performance in regional bourses.
The 30-stock index jumped 24.66 points, or 1.63%, to 1,540.22 — its intraday high and the highest level in a month. It was the biggest gain since a 1.79% rise on April 14. The index has risen 1.76% so far this month.
