KUALA LUMPUR: ''The FBM KLCI extended its gains at mid-morning on Friday, May 20 in line with gains at most key regional markets following the slightly firmer overnight close at Wall Street.
At 10am, the FBM KLCI was up 3.65 points to 1,547.67, lifted by gains including at KLK, RHB Capital, PPB, Petronas Gas and Petronas Dagangan.
Gainers led losers by 254 to 154, while 216 counters traded unchanged. Volume was 188.52 million shares valued at RM156.36 million.

Meanwhile, Singapore's Straits Times Index slipped 0.03% to 3,171.73.
Maybank Investment Bank Bhd head of retail research and chief chartist Lee Cheng Hooi in a note to clients on May 20 said that due Wall Street's firmer tone last night, there could be some bargain hunting activities today.
