The FBM KLCI ended lower after a solid opening attributed to some profit taking activities and impacts from the sharp drop in Hong Kong equities.
Nonetheless, we reckon this is only an intermittent correction and will not distract recent inflows of foreign funds thus recent dips offer excellent opportunities to bargain hunt.
