KLCI stays little changed amid lack of new leads, anticipation over Russell Index


KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI stayed close to parity in the opening minutes of Thursday trade as investors awaited fresh direction.

At 9.05am, the local index was up 0.23 points to 1,589.81. There were 128 gainers versus 51 decliners and 126 counters unchanged. Trading volume was 69.73 million shares valued at RM23.21mil .

The uncertainty on the domestic market came despite a positive performance on Wall Street overnight as investors anticipated the decision over whether local government bonds would be excluded from the World Government Bond Index. The FTSE Russell decision is due today.
