KUALA LUMPUR: Blue chips closed higher on Wednesday, underpinned by fund buying of Public Bank, Tenaga Nasional and Maxis amid a weaker broader market.
At 5pm, the FBM KLCI was up 3.31 points or 0.21% to 1,587.18, but off the day's best of 1,590. It is still the worst market in Asia with year-to-date losses of 6.12%.
