participation by local institutions.

benchmark FBM KLCI to challenge its immediate resistance threshold of
1,635.

slightly better and ended with a mixed performance, between flat and
-0.5 per cent overnight.

would take additional stimulus initiatives," it said in a note today.

12,343.39, the FBMT 100 jumped 19.71 points to 10,994.28 but the FBM
ACE Index shed 21.73 points to 4,422.88.
Gainers led losers 139 to 74 while 148 counters were unchanged with 71.056 million lots worth RM48.816 million transacted.
Among
active counters, Harvest Court Industries earned three sen to 57.5 sen,
Naim Indah added one sen to 33.5 sen and Metronic Global was flat at
7.5 sen.
Of the heavyweights, Maybank and Sime Darby were up
