The market breadth was slightly positive, with 489 gainers outpacing 466 losers, while 509 counters were unchanged, 923 were untraded and 21 were suspended. Trading activity, however, slowed, with turnover falling to 3.43 billion shares worth RM2.47 billion, down from 5.09 billion units valued at RM2.9 billion in the previous session, indicating a cautious tone ahead of the weekend.
