PETALING JAYA: Bursa Malaysia closed lower yesterday due to profit-taking activities, mainly in banking, oil and gas, and telecommunication counters despite the positive regional market performance, a dealer said.
At 5pm, the benchmark FBM KLCI slipped 11.84 points to 1,596.44 from 1,608.28 at Monday’s close after opening 0.28 of-a-point better at 1,608.56.
