KLCI pares losses on late buying of Sime Plant and Tenaga

KUALA LUMPUR: Late fund buying of Sime Plantation and Tenaga enabled the FBM KLCI to close off Thursday's intra-day low but the broader market remained weak with banks among the decliners ahead of the Q2 GDP data on Friday.

At 5pm, the KLCI was down 0.02 of a point to 1, 600.29. It hit an early low of 1, 581 – down 20 points before staging a recovery.
