FBM KLCI slips further on weak China factory data, US bill vote

KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia fell further below the 1,400-point support-turned-resistance as weak factory data coming out of China raised concerns over the strength of the economic recovery.

Asian markets are poised for a second month of losses after data showed the Chinese manufacturing purchasing managers' index contracted at a faster pace than expected to 48.2 in May on weakening demand.
