KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI remained above the 1,560 level at the mid-day break on Friday, June 17, boosted by bank stocks and select blue chips and it was among the top performers in the region.
At 12.30pm, the KLCI was up 5.85 points to 1,560.09. Gainers edged losers by 297 to 263, while 333 counters traded unchanged. Volume was 397.29 million shares valued at RM714.06 million.
The ringgit weakened 0.26% to 3.0525 versus the US dollar; crude palm oil futures for the third month delivery was flat at RM3,193, crude oil fell 23 cents to US$94.72, while gold lost US$2.90 an ounce to US$1,526.90.
Regional markets were mixed as markets are still largely unconvinced that Greece can dodge a default without political stability in Athens, keeping equity and commodity prices in a near-term downtrend, according to Reuters.
