KUALA LUMPUR, July 15 -- Bursa Malaysia ended the week marginally lower, with the index declining 0.11 per cent due to lack of buying catalyst amid a lacklustre trading day, a dealer said.
The benchmark index opened unchanged at 1,420.06 -- also its intraday high -- and slid to a low of 1,415.46 during the morning session, and continued to trade within that range in the afternoon session. Total turnover improved to 2.05 billion units valued at RM1.06 billion against 2.01 billion units valued at RM1.20 billion on Thursday.
On the home front, he said the local bourse is expected to see muted reaction as investor sentiment remained soft for the time being.
