At 5pm, the benchmark FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) fell 1.38 points or 0.09 per cent to 1,489.80 from Friday’s close of 1,491.18.
The key index opened 0.85 of-a-point better at 1,492.03, and moved between 1,486.79 and 1,494.81 throughout the trading session.
On the broader market, decliners outpaced advancers 499 to 367, while 389 counters were unchanged, 1,031 untraded, and 19 others suspended.
Total turnover fell to 2.08 billion units worth RM1.25 bil from 2.18 billion units worth RM1.57 bil last Friday. – Sept 5, 2022
