FBM-KLCI dips, but less severely compared with the region


KUALA LUMPUR: At market close, the FBM-KLCI's dip was relatively tamer compared with regional bourses, and dealers say a buying opportunity may emerge in the coming days. This comes as world equities took a beating from fears of a US recession and the ongoing eurozone debt crises.

The FBM-KLCI lost 22.46 points to 1,524.43, with turnover at 1.78 billion shares valued at RM3.67bil. There were 60 gainers, 934 losers and 152 counters traded unchanged.
