Bursa bucks major Asian markets


KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia bucked the major Asian markets in the morning session on Friday on some mild buying on plantation stocks and mid-sized capitalised stocks with strong earnings but the mood was lacklustre as reflected in the thin volume.

At 12.30pm, the KL Composite Index had risen 2.92 points or 0.23% to 1,283.27, the FBM Emas rose 16.54 points to 8,632.31 while the FBM Second Board fell 25.20 points to 5,842.45.
