KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI remained in the red at the mid-day break on Thursday, Dec 23 while Asian markets were mixed in thin trading amidst caution investor sentiment despite the fairly firmer overnight close at Wall Street.
The tepid mood at key regional markets was seen as a breather ahead of the Christmas weekend, as well the general reluctance to do much after having taken some profits recently when the markets rallied to a two-year high, according to Reuters.
On Bursa Malaysia, the FBM KLCI slipped 0.16% or 2.40 points to 1,512.65, weighed by losses including at DiGi, CIMB, Genting and Petronas Gas.
Gainers trailed losers by 292 to 344, while 282 counters traded unchanged. Volume was 688.3 million shares valued at RM783.63 million.
The ringgit strengthened 0.38% to 3.1305 versus the US dollar; crude palm oil for the third month delivery rose RM37 per tonne to RM3,657, crude oil added eight cents per barrel to US$90.56 while gold gained US$2.80 per troy ounce to US$1,388.15.
At the regional markets, the Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.54% to 2,862.44, South Korea's Kospi slipped 0.22% to 2,033.59, while Taiwan's Taiex added 0.57% to 8,911.36, Singapore's Straits Times Index rose 0.40% to 3,156.95 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index gained 0.19% to 23,088.01.
Japan's Nikkei 225 was closed to observe a national holiday for the Emperor's birthday.
