  KLCI failed to fulfill hopes of a year-end rally during the final fortnight for year 2000. The market merely enjoyed a short hike on the 18th December but was followed by a continuous tumble, which closed at a year-low of 679.64 by the end of the year. Trading volume was low due to the long holidays. The official launching of T+3 system on 20th December temporarily reduced trading volume for that day.
