KLCI ends Tuesday nearly 5 points lower (Update)

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s blue chips extended their losses on Tuesday with the FBM KLCI down nearly five points but of concern was the weakening broader market as investor sentiment was impacted by softer key markets ahead of the US Federal Reserve policy meeting.

At 5pm, the KLCI was down 4.52 points to 1,855.06. Turnover was 2.174 billion shares valued at RM2.151bil. There were 183 gainers, 762 decliners and 272 counters unchanged.
