Investors take profit, track Wall St decline


KUALA LUMPUR: Investors started the day with a flurry of profit-taking following yesterday's rally, which was fuelled by Brent crude's intraday breach of the US$80 a barrel mark.

At 9.05am, the FBM KLCI was down 8.36 points to 1,538.46, dragged lower by a downturn in investor sentiment as Wall Street markets fell sharply overnight on the back of a spike in Treasury yields.
