KUALA LUMPUR, The FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) futures contract on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives is expected to continue its sideways consolidation with a slight bullish tendency next week, when the benchmark index is likely to trade between 1,645 and 1,665.

Rakuten Trade vice president of equity research Thong Pak Leng said that although on the technical front the moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) remains in bearish territory, it hints at a possible crossover which could indicate the start of a new bullish phase if buying interest persists.
