Conclusion: Market sentiment turned weak today due to profit taking. Fund buying of banks and telecommunication stocks lifted the FBM KLCI at midday enabling the 30-stock index to buck the overall lacklustre regional markets. At closing, Gainer beat Loser by 362 to 358.

In MSCD, all indicators have only little changes indicating buyer and seller have equal shares in opinions.
