KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 8): The FBM KLCI is seen pushing toward breaching the psychologically crucial 1,800-point level today, tracking the overnight gains at most global markets.

Equity markets around the world climbed to approach a six-month high on Tuesday, buoyed by a rebound in Chinese stocks, while corporate earnings helped push Wall Street's benchmark S&P 500 index towards record levels, according to Reuters.
