KUALA LUMPUR:'' The FBM KLCI advanced on Thursday, Dec 2 in line with the gains at key regional markets following the firmer overnight close at Wall Street while global manufacturing picked up speed, boosted by China and Germany.
However, buying momentum was still insufficient for the KCLI to test the crucial 1,500 at the midday break. The 30-stock benchmark index was up 0.83% or 12.26 points to 1,497.68, lifted by gains including at Petronas Gas, BAT, PPB, CIMB and Maybank.
Gainers led losers by 423 to 211, while 293 counters traded unchanged. Volume was 508.73 million shares valued at RM825.62 million.
In Japan, the Nikkei 225 soared more than 1.8% as Japanese firms raised capital spending in July-September for the first time in more than three years. However, profit and sales growth slowed, as a dip in demand both at home and abroad, spurred by a strong yen, clouds the economic outlook.
The 5% rise in capital spending in the third quarter, led by auto makers and electronic device makers, followed a 1.7% drop the previous quarter, according to Reuters.
