FBM KLCI - lower on selling pressure
Stocks on Bursa Malaysia closed broadly lower yesterday as continued selling pressure in most heavyweight counters dragged the benchmark index to close sharply lower. Southeast Asian stock markets also trimmed previous gains, with market sentiments dampened by investor worries over the Greek debt talks. At close, the FBM KLCI was 14.87 points or 0.86% lower at 1,716.81 after moving between 1,716.81 and 1,729.64 throughout the day. Losers thumped gainers by 552 to 292, with 254 counters unchanged. Total volume decreased to 1.65 billion units worth RM2.08 billion from Wednesday’s 1.79 billion units worth RM1.89 billion.
