KUALA LUMPUR: Optimism over easing trade tensions helped to lift Bursa Malaysia stocks, but the main index remained capped by the 1,550 psychological resistance as the weekend approached.
The FBM KLCI rose 2.25 points to 1,544.99 at the opening bell as sentiment improved following the announcement that the US and UK had reached a deal over trade tariffs, although many specifics of the deal remained pending.
