KLCI climbs on last trading day of February, broader market cautious


At Bursa on Thursday, foreign funds turned net buyers at RM144.5mil while local retail investors continued to be net buyers at RM90.9mil but local institutions were net sellers at RM235.3mil.

KUALA LUMPUR: Some mild buying of blue chips helped the FBM KLCI extend its rebound early Friday but the tech sell-off on Wall Street and weaker Asian markets weighed on the broader market.

At 9.35am, the FBM KLCI was up 2.90 points or 0.18% to 1,584.44. Turnover was 1.76 billion shares valued at RM1.01bil. The broader market showed signs of weakening with losers beating gainers 672 to 238 and 329 counters unchanged.
