KLCI closed lower at 9.22 points, down 1824.32 points, by the end of the trading day. The local bourse took a beating amid a global selloff trend, lead by Wall Street, triggered by fears of a weakening global economy as the IMF downgraded its global growth forecasts. Regionally, Asian markets also slid in line with the global rout, as investors also weighed in on a declining European economy and the timing of U.S. interest-rate increases. Asset safe havens like bonds and the yen experienced gains, as oil prices slip to the lowest in 2 years on oversupply.
