The morning session performance was stellar until the benchmark FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) began to fluctuate between gains and losses in the afternoon session to end the day at 1,495.49, up 3.86 points, thanks to rally in Petronas Dagangan and Tenaga Nasional stocks.
The market bellwether opened 0.30 points higher at 1,491.93 and hit an intra-day high of 1,503.33 and an intra-day low of 1,479.13 on Friday. — Dec 30, 2022
