KUALA LUMPUR (July 4): The FBM KLCI closed 2.57 points or 0.15% lower today on continued profit taking in an overbought Malaysian stock market and as lower crude oil prices hit local shares.
At 5pm, the KLCI closed down at 1,687.48 on profit taking after rising to its intraday high at 1,690.81. The KLCI closed lower today to extend losses after yesterday's 0.95 point or 0.06% drop.
Today, analysts said Malaysian shares exhibited overbought momentum after recent gains. "The local market should consolidate due to overbought momentum after recent gains and as investors await further leads from data on slowing global economies and US trade policies," TA Securities Holdings Bhd wrote in a note today.

“This is also coupled with the uncertainly over global trade,” Leong told theedgemarkets.com today.
