BURSA Malaysia’s main index pared its earlier losses to end at its intraday high on Tuesday, driven by late buying in heavyweights and in line with most regional markets.
At 5 pm, the FBM KLCI increased 2.08 points to 1,584.84 from Monday’s close of 1,582.76.
The benchmark index, which opened 2.54 points lower at 1,580.22, subsequently hit a low of 1,575.68 in the early session before late buying lifted it into the green territory.
On the broader market, decliners thumped gainers 643 to 397 while 477 counters were unchanged, 808 untraded and 10 suspended.
Turnover rose to 3.61 bil units worth RM2.64 bil from 3.27 bil units worth RM2.40 bil yesterday. —Feb 18, 2025
