KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI stayed in positive territory at the mid-day break and snapped its two day negative streak, in line with most key regional markets that pared down some of their earlier losses on Thursday, April 7.
Gains at the regional markets, however, were limited.
The FBM KLCI added 5.01 points to 1,557.90, lifted by gains including at DiGi, HLFG and Hong Leong Bank.
Gainers led losers by 390 to 296, while 312 counters traded unchanged. Volume was 857.62 million shares valued at RM1.03 billion.
The ringgit weakened 0.12% to 3.0280 versus the US dollar; crude palm oil for the third month delivery fell RM45 to RM3,325, crude oil shed 43 cents per barrel to US$108.40 while gold fell US$5.55 per troy ounce to US$1,454.15.
Asian shares were lacklustre, with the Nikkei rising, as investors who had bet on the falls of recent days realised their gains, but markets elsewhere in the region were flat, according to Reuters.
Brent crude oil eased off a two-and-a-half year peak struck amid worries about war in Libya and unrest in the Middle East, it said.
At the regional markets, Japan's Nikkei edged up 0.03% to 9,587.08, the Shanghai Composite Index added 0.11% to 3,004.65 and Taiwan's Taiex gained 0.15% to 8,865.59.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index shed 0.04% to 24,275.36, South Korea's Kospi down 0.32% to 2,119.81 and Singapore's Straits Times Index fell 0.20% to 3,164.00.
