Market ends lower despite unchanged OPR

FBM KLCI continued to trend lower after a lacklustre trading session with key regional markets mostly in negative territory, said Rakuten's Thong.

KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia closed on a softer note despite Bank Negara’s decision to retain the overnight policy rate (OPR) as investors remained wary of interest rate hike in the United States and risk of recession on a global scale.

At 5pm yesterday, the FBM KLCI slipped 5.13 points to 1,449.53 from the previous day’s closing of 1,454.66.
