KUALA LUMPUR: Blue chips ended mixed following a choppy trade on Friday, Sept 9 amid see-saw movements in Asian stocks as investors weighed on China's easing inflation, dealers said.
At 5pm, the FBM KLCI was down 0.71 of a point to 1,469.12. It had opened 3.1 points steadier at 1,472.93. Gainers led losers 343 to 297 while 282 counters were unchanged. A total of 739.612 million shares worth RM977.252 million changed hands.
A dealer said markets fell globally as US President Barack Obama's job stimulus packages plan failed to spark a rally in the US.
With US Federal Reserve Chief Ben Bernanke not providing any details on the new measures to support the economy, traders continued to worry on the global economic outlook, a dealer said.
Another dealer said the Malaysian market still looked attractive following Bank Negara Malaysia's decision to retain the overnight policy rate at 3%.
However, he added the weaker report for the Industrial Production Index (IPI) in July 2011 which fell by 0.6 per cent compared with the same month
last year further reduced the local bourse's earnings.
Jupiter Securities Head of Research Pong Teng Siew said the weak data of IPI had been expected amid the global economic slowdown and anticipated reduction in the demand especially in the manufacturing and electrical and electronics sectors.
"Traders are still cautious on the market movement amid the absence of local leads with the market moving in a tight range following the overnight fall on Wall Street," Pong added.
