KUALA LUMPUR: Mild profit-taking chipped some gains off the FBM KLCI at the mid-day break on Thursday, Sept 15 ahead of the extended weekend with the local market closed for the Malaysia Day holiday on Friday.
Sentiment at the regional markets was also wary despite Germany and France voicing their commitment to keeping debt-ladened Greece in the euro zone, with investors remaining skeptical over the measures to be adopted to find a more permanent solution to the euro zone debt crisis.
The FBM KLCI pared down its gains and was up a marginal 0.06% or 0.80 point to 1,438.41 at 12.30pm. The index had earlier risen to its intra-morning high of 1,443.51.
Losers overtook gainers by 268 to 213, while 296 counters traded unchanged. Volume was 269.38 million shares valued at RM451.01 million.
The ringgit weakened 0.23% to 3.0853 versus the US dollar; crude palm oil futures for the third month delivery fell RM8 per tonne to RM3,036, crude oil slipped 31 cents per barrel to US$88.60 and gold lost US$6.55 an ounce to US$1,813.07.
At the regional markets, Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 1.58% to 8,653.20, Taiwan's Taiex was up 2.02% to 7,374.32, South Korea's Kospi added 0.97% to 1,766.17, Singapore's Straits Times Index gained 0.55% to 2,754.46 while Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index edged up 0.47% to 19,134.45.
