Robust gains abroad provided a spark that helped stocks extend their prior session advance. No real reaction was made to the latest ADP Employment Change, which indicated that private payrolls increased by 201,000 in March. The Briefing.com consensus had called for an increase of 210,000.

That helped the Nasdaq outperform, but it was the Dow that set a new two-year high as it advanced more than 100 points to settle just 20 points shy of the 12,000 mark.
Tech stocks were a bit mixed in early trade, but buying quickly picked up after the sector started to run. Tech stocks settled with a 1.6% gain.

Since Nov, Malaysia’s KLCI has been trading sideways, possibly in a triangle formation consolidation. Look for a breakout in either direction for its next medium-term trend, but more likely upwards. The main support levels remain the 50-day SMA at 1,254 and 1,261pts, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the 1,524-836pt 2007-09 downtrend.
