KLCI closes down 13 points as banks, Genting sold


Reuters reported Hong Kong shares slumped more than 2% on Thursday as fears of a possible British exit from the European Union outweighed relief after the US Federal Reserve struck a more cautious note on interest rates. The Hang Seng index fell 2.1% to 20,038.42, while the China Enterprises Index lost 2.3% to 8,409.81.

Among the heavyweights, Tenaga Nasional rose two sen to RM13.98 but Genting Bhd lost 17 sen to RM8 and erased more than one point and Genting Malaysia fell two sen to RM4.28.
