KUALA LUMPUR: The rally on Bursa Malaysia continued as investor sentiment was spurred on by buying on Wall Street overnight amid growing investor appetite for riskier assets.

At 9.05am, the FBM KLCI was up 5.51 points to 1,442.40. There was buying interest across the market with 151 gainers compared with 70 decliners.

Trading volume was 190.84 million shares valued at RM39.5mil.

An announcement by Netflix that it had lost fewer subscribers than initially forecast in the recent quarter helped to propel the technology sector higher, leading to a 1.6% jump on the tech-heavy Nasdaq.

US investors had been ready to spring on bargain stocks as the start of the corporate earnings season yielded better-than-expected results, suggesting that fears of a recession were overblown.

"The technology sector should see further improvement in trading activities after another positive session in Nasdaq following the release of earnings reports from several corporates," said Malacca Securities Research.

It noted also that energy stocks, which have declined in recent days on retreating crude oil prices, should spring back as Brent crude stabilised along the US$106 level.
