KUALA LUMPUR: The FBM KLCI closed marginally lower on Monday, shedding 2.32 points to 1,548.20, a 0.15% decline. Market sentiment was largely influenced by the generally weaker performance across regional Asian bourses, as investors remained cautious amidst global inflation and interest rate uncertainties. Trading volume stood at 3.85 billion shares valued at RM2.56 billion. Key laggards included Public Bank and Maybank, while technology stocks pared earlier gains.
