Bursa Malaysia ends on negative note

BURSA Malaysia ended the week marginally lower, with the index declining 0.11% due to lack of buying catalyst amid a lacklustre trading day, a dealer said.

At 5pm, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) slipped 1.62 points to 1,418.44 from Thursday’s close of 1,420.06.

The benchmark index opened unchanged at 1,420.06 — also its intraday high — and slid to a low of 1,415.46 during the morning session, and continued to trade within that range in the afternoon session.

On the broader market, losers surpassed gainers 425 to 388, while 419 counters were unchanged, 1,044 untraded and 20 others suspended. —July 15, 2022
