KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI clawed back to erase its losses in the morning session and was up marginally at mid-day on Monday, Feb 21.
However, key regional markets mostly remained in negative territory as spreading tensions in Libya and other oil-producing regions encouraged some profit taking after last week's solid gains.
The FBM KLCI was up 0.06 of a point to 1,517.62, lifted by gains including at Genting, Tenaga, IOI Corp and PPB.'' The 30-stock index fell to as low as 1,505.54 earlier.
Market breadth was negative with losers leading gainers by 527 to 210, while 266 counters traded unchanged. Volume was 871.77 million shares valued at RM920.49 million.
The ringgit weakened 0.07% to 3.0365 versus the US dollar; crude palm oil for the third month delivery fell RM8 per tonne to RM3,675, crude oil gained US$1.12 per barrel to US$87.32 while gold jumped US$5.17 per troy ounce to US$1,394.70.
Reuters reported anti-government protesters rallied in Tripoli's streets at the weekend, tribal leaders spoke out against leader Muammar Gaddafi. Army units defected to the opposition as oil exporter Libya endured one of the bloodiest revolts to convulse the Arab world.
Beijing's latest move to tighten policy in the form of banks' required reserve increases saw Shanghai and Hong Kong stocks take a tumble with lenders leading declines, it said.
