KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI remained in negative territory for most of the morning trading session on Friday, Dec 24, in line with the general decline at key regional markets as investor sentiment was tepid following the recent downgrades of several European countries, as well thin trading ahead of the Christmas and year-end holidays.
