MARKET UPDATE

KLCI ends down 0.8% at 1354.67 in modest volume, off fresh all-time high of 1368.87, on profit-taking. Sell trigger attributed to concerns over accuracy of air freight concern Transmile's FY06 accounts. The decline in regional markets also hurt sentiment, despite some solid quarterly earnings reports (locally). KLCI expected to trade in 1350-1360 range tomorrow. Market spread negative; losers outpaced gainers 719 to 205; Transmile sank 23.1% to MYR10 with JP Morgan cutting rating to Underperform from Outperform and target to MYR6.25 from MYR13.
