Text from Bernama.com on the non trading in bursamalaysia stocks for the morning session. Catastrophic multiple hardware failure.

"KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 (Bernama) -- Trading on Bursa Malaysia will resume at 2.30pm Thursday after a system failure caused it to close for the entire morning session.

In a statement here today, Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd said trading would resume from the back-up system at its alternate trading site.

Bursa Malaysia said it would investigate the problem that caused the trading system failure in the morning at its primary site and was working towards resuming trading from the primary site as soon as possible.

Separately, the Securities Commission (SC) said it has been in close communication with Bursa Malaysia following the technical failure in the trading system.

Bursa Malaysia has assured the SC it was working to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.

The SC will continue to monitor developments closely in order for market integrity to be maintained at all times."

20080702 Cash KLCI daily chart is deeply oversold, so we are due for a technical rebound. RSI is below the threshold 30 levels. The rebound can be fierce, which explains the narrowing in the discount of July futures to the cash index. Compare to the last 2 instances of a big selloff in the KLCI, will history repeat itself? One thing for sure, catching the falling knife will be high risk, with high reward.

20080701 Trend day down in July FKLI futures today. Bad news aplenty, and the market reacted accordingly.
