Malaysia Market Alert: Volatile Market whole week !!

According to a few news recently, the market will be volatile since a few strong fundamental news could affect the Bursa performance.
.....................................................

KUALA LUMPUR: BURSA Malaysia is likely to be volatile this week as investors continue to be jittery over the European debt crisis, coupled with the negative rating of the US economy by Standard & Poor's, dealers said.
The local bourse started last week on a choppy note, in line with the regional bourses on news of possible financial crisis.
This resulted in huge sell-off and dragged the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI to below 1,500 level for the first time since March 17, 2011.
Affin Investment Bank head of retail research, Dr Nazri Khan, said the Asian markets would likely continue bouncing this week as a drop in the US jobless claims eased concerns about the global economic recovery, boosting global exporters and commodity producers.
Meanwhile, on the corporate scene, Malaysia Airlines and AirAsia hogged the limelight with share swap deal, creating a powerful synergy between them and totally changed the local airline industry landscape.
On a Friday-to-Friday basis, the FBM KLCI dropped 40.76 points to 1,483.67 from 1,524.43 previously.
The Finance Index fell 416.41 points to 14,072.74, Industrial Index declined 43.23 points to 2,715.01 and the Plantation Index lost 384.49 points to 7,208.45.

The AP reported Asia-Pacific stock markets opened strongly on Monday, after stocks in the U.S. and Europe closed higher last week following a volatile few days.
Japan's Nikkei 225 index climbed 145.86 points, or 1.63 percent, to 9,109.58 in early morning trading.

New Zealand's benchmark NZX50 index was up 24.4 points, or 0.76 percent, to 3240.9.
Global markets fluctuated wildly last week as investors already concerned over Europe's worsening debt crisis were further rattled by signs the U.S. might be headed toward recession.
Stocks in Europe and on Wall Street ended the volatile week higher on Friday following positive retail sales data out of the U.S. and after European regulators imposed temporary bans on short-selling of financial shares late Thursday.
