FBM KLCI hits new high
by hlk Tue 03 Apr 2012, 18:57
Share prices on Bursa Malaysia closed mixed today, on weaker buying momentum and despite the positive sentiment on regional markets, dealers said.
The benchmark FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) advanced 2.85 points to close at 1,606.63.
A dealer said that most Asian stocks rose today, driven by the positive manufacturing data from the US and China.
"However, shares in Japan sank, as a strengthening yen hurt the country's powerhouse export sector," he said.
The Finance Index jumped 26.55 points to 14,452.53, while the Industrial Index slipped 2.09 points to 2,890.76, and the Plantation Index declined 24.22 points to 8,782.07. The FBM Emas Index advanced 16.94 points to 11,008.36 and the FBM70 Index added 10.6 points to 12,094.32, but the FBM ACE Index fell 33.61 points to 4,521.34.
Decliners beat advancers by 379 to 354 while 344 counters were unchanged, 436 untraded and 25 others suspended.
Turnover was lower at 1.25 billion shares worth RM1.36 billion from the 1.44 billion shares worth RM1.4 billion yesterday.
Of the actives, Ingenuity eased half-a-sen to 10 sen, Supercomnet and Ariantec Global eased one sen each to 17 sen and 10.5 sen respectively, and Metronic Global fell 2.5 sen to 16 sen
Among heavyweights, Maybank and Petronas Chemicals rose one sen each to RM8.95 and RM6.73 respectively and CIMB added two sen to RM7.81 but Sime Darby was one sen lower at RM9.87. -- Bernama
