KUALA LUMPUR: There was a dip in Malaysia’s blue-chip index, while weak sentiment stalked the broader market as investors remained selective in their portfolios.<\/p>\n

At 12.30pm, the FBM KLCI was down 1.7 points to 1,536.94 as profit-taking pulled the index lower following the previous day’s rally.<\/p>\n

The underlying market weakness was more evident among the lower liners with 552 issues falling to negative territory and only 272 positive. The construction sector outperformed with a marginal 0.32% price increase while the other 12 sectors were in the red.<\/p>\n

Overall market volume was 1.53 billion shares changing hands for RM999.52mil.<\/p>\n

Beverage maker F&N joined brewers in the red, falling 22 sen to RM28.78 amid weak consumer sentiment. Heineken Malaysia<\/a><\/a> dropped 58 sen to RM23.42 and Carlsberg shed 10 sen to RM17.76.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Inari Amertron<\/a><\/a> – in the spotlight recently for its plan to acquire Netherland’s loss-making Lumileds International for US$239mil – dropped 10 sen to RM1.87.<\/p>\n

Leading actives included NexG, flat at 53.5 sen, and Top Glove, down 1.5 sen to 62 sen.<\/p>\n

In Asian markets, investors shrugged off some early caution following Wall Street’s pullback amid fears over weaker-than-exected US economic data.<\/p>\n

Japan’s Nikkei was up 0.94% to 26,736 and China’s composite index gained 0.27% to 3,627.<\/p>\n

South Korea’s Kospi slipped 0.25% to 3,190.<\/p>\n

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng gained 0.18% to 24,947.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"KUALA LUMPUR: There was a dip in Malaysia’s blue-chip index, while weak sentiment stalked the broader market as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":62393,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[29427,28,23900,29428,112,6480,6007],"class_list":["post-62392","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-markets","tag-bursa-malaysia","tag-business","tag-equities","tag-klci","tag-markets","tag-stock","tag-trading"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62392"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62392\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
