Kenanga Research head of research Chan Ken Yew sees a rebound next week, as the KLCI downside gap has almost been filled.
“Based on the performance today, we do not discount the possibility of a slight rebound next week, if KLCI manage[s] to hold an uptrend support line, just to fill the upside gap of 1,674.7 points to 1,680.8,” he told theedgemarkets.com today.
However, Chan warned there is still a minor downside risk, unless KLCI can overcome the 1,685-point level to gain a sustainable rebound.
