KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI managed to stay in positive territory by midday on Monday, Sept 20 but slipped below the 1,470 level as some mild profit taking emerged, in line with some regional markets.
Uncertainty about global economic recovery, fuelled by weak U.S. consumer sentiment data on Friday and a public holiday in Japan also kept many investors sidelined at the regional markets, according to Reuters.
However, there was some interest in commodities, including palm oil which propped up the 30-stock FBM KLCI. The FBM KLCI rose 1.89 points or 0.13% to 1,468.68, aided by gains including at Sime Darby, CIMB, Genting and Tenaga. Losers led gainers by 366 to 267, while 249 counters traded unchanged. Volume was 465.13 million shares valued at RM588.55 million.
