Stocks on Bursa Malaysia ended on an easier note yesterday, with the benchmark FBM KLCI down 9.88 points or 0.55% to 1,789.07 despite the better-than-expected 2014 gross domestic product (GDP) growth. Malaysia’s economy grew by 6% last year after recording a 5.8% growth in the fourth quarter, mainly driven by private sector spending. The FBM KLCI fluctuated between 1,780.21 and 1,791 throughout the day dragged down by selling pressure in blue-chips led by TENAGA. Losers outpaced gainers by 436 to 326, while 329 counters were unchanged. Total turnover decreased to 1.68 billion units valued at RM2.51 billion from 2.2 billion units valued at RM2.4 billion transacted on Wednesday. Read more >>
