KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 25): The FBM KLCI extended its losses at the mid-day break on Friday as key regional markets mostly remained in negative territory, as investor sentiment continued to be jittery on concerns of a wider impact from the eurozone debt crisis.

The FBM KLCI lost 13.56 points to 1,434.43 at 12.30pm, weighed by losses at blue chips including Genting, Axiata and Petronas Gas.
Losers led gainers by 372 to 222, while 264 counters traded unchanged. Volume was 889.02 million shares valued at RM480.66 million.
The ringgit weakened 0.23% to 3.1933 versus the US dollar; crude palm oil futures for the third month delivery fell RM3 per tonne to RM3,105, crude oil added 47 cents per barrel to US$96.64 while gold slipped US$1.63 an ounce to US$1,692.70.
