Losers led gainers by 356 to 225 while 239 counters were unchanged, 661 untraded and 20 others suspended. Turnover stood at 1.342 billion shares worth RM431.394 million.
Tiger Synergy edged up 1.5 sen to 15 sen, DPS Resources added two sen to 33 sen while D.B.E Gurney was unchanged at 10 sen.
Maybank was unchanged at RM8.25, Sime Darby eased one sen to RM8.90, CIMB slipped two sen to RM7.16, Petronas Chemicals shed three sen to RM6.41 and IOI Corp was five sen lower at RM5.12.
Meanwhile, Bursa Malaysia has declared Harvest Court Industries and Harvest Court Industries warrants as designated securities effective tomorrow until further notice.
To facilitate the dissemination of the designation, the two securities will be suspended from trading today.
The local bourse operator said the decision was due to excessive speculation observed in the trading of both securities and action that was taken was in the interest of ensuring a fair and orderly market.
With the designation, trading in the counter continues but will require payment upfront before buying and a free balance of securities before selling. -- Bernama
