BURSA Malaysia’s key index reversed earlier losses to close higher on Wednesday, as late buying in selected heavyweights, combined with stronger regional market performance, lifted market sentiment.
At 5 pm, the FBM KLCI rose 2.84 points or 0.19 per cent to close at 1,541.48 from Tuesday’s close of 1,538.64.
The benchmark index, which opened 0.72 of-a-point lower at 1,537.92, moved between 1,533.06 and 1,542.89 throughout the trading session.
However, the broader market was negative, with decliners outpacing gainers 626 to 353, while 489 counters were unchanged, 1,034 untraded and seven suspended.
Turnover decreased to 2.51 bil units worth RM2.38 bil from 2.87 bil units worth RM2.75 bil on Tuesday. —Aug 6, 2025
