SELECTIVE support for key blue chip stocks helped curtail the Kuala Lumpur Composite Index's (KLCI) fall yesterday, but elsewhere around the region, stocks slumped to their lowest levels in months.
At the close, the KLCI was down 7.59 points to 866.66 on concerns that an economic slowdown in the US would hurt Malaysia's export-led growth. A total of 699 counters were down versus 149 gainers, while 255 were unchanged.
