KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI eked out a marginal gain of 2.19 points at closing time despite negative sentiment returning to global markets, namely due to the FBI's renewed probe into Hillary Clinton's emails as well as the breakdown in negotiations among the members of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
The benchmark index recovered from earlier losses to close at 1,672.46 points. This meant that the FBM KLCI has ended the month of October with a 0.6% gain despite the cautious sentiment in markets globally.
