[Title] => Index rebounds following Wall St overnight gains
[Summary] => Share prices closed 2.13 percent higher yesterday in a quick rebound after Wednesday’s sharp losses as investors took their lead from Wall Street’s overnight gains, dealers said.
They said there was also support for select majors ahead of second quarter results although the market remained wary ahead of a US Federal Reserve meeting on interest rates next week.
A technical glitch late in the session prompted the exchange to suspend trading for about half an hour but investors continued to accumulate stocks after business resumed.
