Glove makers top losers but tech stocks shine


This is the second straight day of losses for the 30-stock KLCI where a total of RM20bil was wiped out from the market capitalisation, reducing it to RM1.02 trillion on Monday.

KUALA LUMPUR: Blue chips extended their losses at midday on Tuesday, dragged down by heavyweight glove makers Hartalega and Top Glove as spotlight shifted to their cheaper counterparts.

Semiconductor and tech-related stocks were in the limelight again with the latest data from the US-based Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) and also rising interest in these counters.
