#Update* RHB Cap falls in early trade

KUALA LUMPUR: RHB CAPITAL BHD []'s share price fell in early trade on Tuesday, Sept 7 after major shareholder, the Employees Provident Fund, said there were no merger talks currently in progress.

At 9.17am, it was down 12 sen to RM7.01 with 33,700 shares done.
