KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 13 — Bursa Malaysia turned mixed at the close today, driven by late buying in selected plantation as well as consumer products and services counters amid weaker regional market sentiment, dealers said.
Market breadth, however, remained negative with losers leading gainers 579 to 373, while 458 counters were unchanged, 806 untraded, and 32 others suspended. A dealer said the Asian markets were mostly weaker despite the broadly positive sentiment from the overnight Wall Street as investors remain concerned over the recent regulatory crackdown in China and the alarming spread of the highly contagious coronavirus variants in the region.
Among the actives, Serba Dinamik added 1.5 sen to 43.5 sen, KNM improved 1.0 sen to 21 sen, but Dagang NeXchange shed 3.0 sen to 78.5 sen and Komarkcorp was down 1.5 sen to 14.5 sen. Main Market volume increased to 2.37 billion shares worth RM1.74 billion from 2.31 billion shares valued at RM1.93 billion on Thursday.
