KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI clawed back to pare down its losses on Monday, Aug 8 but it was not enough to lift the index above the psychologically crucial 1,500-level.
The 30-stock index closed 1.8% or 27.44 points lower at 1,496.99, pulling back after having fallen more than 48 points to its intra-day low of 1,476.24.
Week-on-week, the index has lost 61.02 points, wiping out its year-to-date gains.
Losers thumped gainers by 1,051 to 67, while 99 counters traded unchanged. Volume was 1.94 billion shares valued at RM3.61 billion.
At the regional markets, Taiwan's Taiex and South Korea's Kospi fell 3.82% each to 7,552.80 and 1,869.45, the Shanghai Composite Index down 3.79% to 2,526.82, Singapore's Straits Times Index down 3.70% to 2,884.00, Japan's Nikkei 225 dipped 2.18% to 9,097.56, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index fell 2.17% to 20,490.57.
