PETALING JAYA: It was a record-setting day yet again on Bursa Malaysia, with total volume reaching a fresh high on consecutive days and the volume of shares traded in one company crossing the one-billion-share mark for the first time.
The euphoria surrounding the stock market, however, soured a tinge as share prices of heavily traded Sumatec Resources Bhd and PDZ Holdings Bhd plunged due to profit-taking after a steep rise recently. Shares of Globaltec Formation Bhd hit 1.01 billion shares and saw its share price pare early gains.
