FBM KLCI heads for third day of gains

KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI moved cautiously higher, en route to a third straight day of gains as the government's decision to ease movement restrictions in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor helped to alleviate anxieties over the duration of the lockdown.

At 12.30pm, the key index was up 4.23 points to 1,526.71, helped along also by the ramping up of the ongoing vaccination programme.
