KUALA LUMPUR: The gold futures contracts on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives are expected to trade higher next week due to global uncertainty.
Phillip Futures Sdn Bhd dealer Ong Su Ling said gold prices are expected to stay bullish as it is likely to be supported by few major factors.
“Among these are the Brexit uncertainties and a prolonged US government shutdown which have further pressured market confidence on lingering economic concerns,” she told Bernama.
