FBM KLCI ends nearly flat amid selldown in lower liners

KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI ended the early session nearly flat after it retraced its earlier losses on some bargain-hunting activity, although the broader market was markedly negative with more than half the counters in the red.

At 12.30pm, the key index was down just 0.5 points to 1,589.87 with the blue-chip index holding firm despite the sell-down in lower liners.
