KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI ended higher on Tuesday buoyed by buying interests in banking counters ahead of Bank Negara’s interest rate decision tomorrow.

At 5pm, the benchmark index added 3.29 points, or 0.23% to 1,440.81, with 16 out of the 30 constituent counters ending higher.

Laggards outnumber gainers 423-to-373; about 1.99 billion shares changed hands in deals worth RM1.2bil.

Banking stocks ended higher on anticipation of a possible hike in the overnight policy rate (OPR).

According to a Bloomberg survey, four economists expect a 25 basis points rate hike to 2.25% while one analyst expects the Bank Negara to stay on hold.
