KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI edged up marginally at mid-morning on Thursday, Sept 8 in line with the mixed regional markets, following the firmer overnight close at Wall Street.
Asian stocks rose on Thursday, as investors took heart from a German court ruling that staved off an immediate worsening of the euro zone crisis and looked towards an announcement later from US President Barack Obama on a new job-creation package, according to Reuters.
However, Japan machinery orders fell in 8.2% in July, signally weaker investment, causing the Nikkei 225 to pare down its gains.
The FBM KLCI was up 0.51 point to 1,465.12 at 10am. Gainers edged losers by 219 to 119, while 188 counters traded unchanged. Volume was 176.70 million shares valued at RM170.2 million.
Japan's Nikkei 225 edged up 0.47% to 8,804.62, Taiwan's Taiex up 0.75% 7,585.33 and South Korea's Kospi added 0.46% to 1,841.87.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index lost 0.39% to 19,970.50, the Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.12% to 2,513.01 and Singapore's Straits Times Index shed 0.05% to 2,830.58.
