KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia finished at an intra-day low today as investor sentiments were affected by the weaker manufacturing data amidst straggling crude oil prices. At 5pm, the FBM KLCI fell 28.23 points, or 2.09 per cent, to close at 1,322.66 from 1,350.89 at Tuesday’s close. Turnover widened to 4.74 billion shares worth RM2.77 billion compared with 3.52 billion shares worth RM2.87 billion yesterday. Meanwhile, the dealer added that the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) Volatility Index continued to decline over the past two days -- a signal that volatility remained high in the market. Velesto added half-a-sen to 12 sen, while Armada and KNM were unchanged at 13.5 sen and 11.5 sen, respectively.
