KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI ended Wednesday morning trade up 6.13 points, lifted by the buying of MISC, Petronas Chemicals and the two Genting stocks which together pushed up the index by more than five points.

The positive sentiment was in line with most key Asian markets which were reportedly up on hopes the European Central Bank would embark on a massive money printing scheme ala the Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan.
