NSTP/AIMAN HARIZ AZHARKUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia ended higher today in line with regional equities as bargain hunting emerged after the benchmark index briefly slipped below the psychological 1,700 level in recent trading sessions. Gainers beat losers by 572 to 511, while 523 counters were unchanged, 1,016 untraded, and 11 suspended.

"As such, we anticipate the FBM KLCI to move within the 1,690-1,720 range towards the weekend," he added.
