Firm broader start for Bursa Malaysia but Telekom slips


KUALA LUMPUR: Telekom Malaysia led the FBM KLCI lower in early Monday trade as investors took profit but the broader market was firmer, in line with the key Asian markets as the Covid-19 vaccine hopes strengthened risk appetite for equities.

At 9.11am, the FBM KLCI had dipped 1.18 points or 0.07% to 1,620.67. Turnover was 1.63 billion shares valued at RM632.49mil. There were 455 gainers, 291 losers and 381 counters unchanged.
