Top Glove, Hartalega weigh on KLCI, broader market weaker


Glove makers were among the top losers list.

KUALA LUMPUR: Top Glove and Hartalgea weighed on the FBM KLCI on Friday as the worse-than-expected 2Q GDP startled investors and saw the broader market weakening.

At 5pm, the KLCI was down 11.83 points or 0.75% to 1,564.59, mainly due to the combined losses of the two glove counters.
