THE FBM KLCI slipped into negative territory today to end the week on a subdued note, weighed down by selling in banking blue chips as investors continued to assess the global trade outlook.
At 5 pm, the FBM KLCI fell 8.37 points, or 0.57 per cent, to 1,454.76 from Thursday’s close of 1,463.13.
The benchmark index opened 21.47 points lower at 1,441.66 and retreated to a low of 1,434.92 during the morning session, before recouping its losses to hit a high 1,462.15 in the early afternoon session.
Market breadth, however, was slightly positive with gainers surpassing decliners by 472 to 442. A total of 456 counters were unchanged, 993 untraded, and nine suspended. —Apr 11, 2025
