KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI closed nearly flat on Thursday, edging higher alongside a firmer ringgit as mild buying in banking counters helped the benchmark eke out gains.
The market barometer inched up 0.66 of a point, or 0.04%, to 1,632.27, lifted by renewed buying interest in banking counters. The index traded between an intraday high of 1,635.27 and a low of 1,631.15.
