Malaysian shares are expected to rebound after a stretch of losses this week, analysts said Friday. "Further sharp losses however should trigger a rebound given the already oversold technical conditions," local brokerage TA Securities said in a commentary.
For the week to June 19, the Kuala Lumpur Composite Index lost 30.65 points or 2.81 percent to 1,059.50. TA Securities said the improved sentiment on Wall Street will also help the local market.
"The overnight rebound on US stocks after a three-day losing streak on improving jobless claims and manufacturing numbers, which suggested the recession may be nearing a bottom, should encourage a rebound in the region and locally," it said. Alliance Research also expected the key index to rebound next week and trade between 1,050-1,063 points.
