KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 13): The FBM KLCI was down 11.69 points or 0.69% at the midday break, amid weakening risk appetite among participants during this holiday-shortened week. On the broader market, losers led gainers 620 to 131, while 277 counters were unchanged and another 2,306 were untraded. United Plantations Bhd led decliners, while Hong Kong Hang Seng Index linked HSI-H45 was the most actively-traded stock. The dollar, on the other hand, nursed losses against its peers, after Brainard reiterated her dovish views, the report added. Technical-wise, the research outfit said the FBM KLCI has retraced from its 1,690 level, after posting three consecutive days of gains last week.
