FBM KLCI up despite market weakness, Middle East tension


KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI finished higher on Friday despite a generally weak market, partly due to increased tension in the Middle East that reduced investors' appetite for risk.

The 30-stock index rose by 2.81 points, or 0.18% to 1,547.57, with 10 out of the 30 constituent counters falling into the red. For the week, the index ended 0.22% lower.
