Aug 23): Equities in Indonesia and Malaysia are standing out as bright spots in Asia this month as global investors trim their exposure to almost every other market in the region.

India, which has been a darling of emerging-market investors in recent years, has seen an equity outflow of US$1.8 billion — the biggest in the region. Japan and Taiwan are next in terms of withdrawals.

“India is expensive, China’s economy is faltering, but Indonesia and Malaysia don’t have those problems,” said Nirgunan Tiruchelvam, an analyst at Aletheia Capital. “They may get even more attention in the coming quarters,” especially Malaysia, given the bets on its data centre boom, he said

Indonesia is benefiting from its fiscal discipline and economic growth, while Malaysia is riding the artificial-intelligence wave after wooing billions of dollars in data centre investments. The ringgit and the rupiah are the top performers against the dollar this month in a basket of 23 emerging-market currencies as overseas funds are boosting holdings of the nations’ bonds too.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell laid the groundwork Friday for interest rate cuts ahead, though he declined to provide exact indications on timing or extent.

“The time has come for policy to adjust,” the central bank leader said in his much-awaited keynote address at the Fed’s annual retreat in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. “The direction of travel is clear, and the timing and pace of rate cuts will depend on incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks.”

However, he did note the progress on inflation and said the Fed can now turn its focus equally to other side of its dual mandate, namely to make sure the economy stays around full employment.

“Inflation has declined significantly. The labor market is no longer overheated, and conditions are now less tight than those that prevailed before the pandemic,” Powell said. “Supply constraints have normalized. And the balance of the risks to our two mandates has changed.”

"The long wait is over," said Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group in Omaha, Nebraska. "This was the dovish shift that market participants have been waiting for."

"The Fed is clearly turning to the dovish camp and Powell has made it crystal clear that September will be the start of multiple rate cuts coming the remainder of this year,"

"Financials are at an all-time high, with a huge surge from regional banks,"

Markets are betting the Fed's policy rate will be in the 3.00%-3.25% range by the end of 2025, more than two percentage points below where it is now.

Posted by jeffchan1901 > 6 days ago | Report Abuse

By right when Rate cuts, Equity market should go up. In this case Fed Reserve cut rates, US markets should go up. BUT.. unemployment rate higher than expected (to be exact higher by 818K in Q1, 2024 revised figures). So hot money has no choice but to flow elsewhere. In this case back to Treasury Bonds OR... other markets for opportunity. In Asia, Malaysia seems like a no brainer for cherry pickings at the moment. So, foreign funds will compete with local GL funds for stocks if and when they do decide to come to this part of Asia. They will be volatility ahead as GL funds (like ASN, KWSP) will try and make a quick buck from these inflow of hot money by selling to them and buying back when they leave - profits of course translating to higher dividend for fund members. For retail billis, it's best not to time the market and day trade as they may be caught high and dry. Long play is the current theme. The Fed Reserve rate cuts are but a temporary reprieve from looming recession. When the inflation rate reaches too high for them, they might most probably increase the rates again (thereby increasing debts by even more) or print money increasing inflation rates even more. In my opinion, whatever the outcome, it's KLCI investors are the winners regardless whether Retail investors or Fund traders. US's 'forever war' strategy to shore up their economy will sooner or later fail as they now try to shift to Asia targeting China using NATO proxy by their plans to set up NATO office in Japan in the near future. For those Bilis here still playing the US markets and indirectly depending on the SWIFT payment system, once Malaysia officially joins BRICS and Malaysia being sanctioned more in future, your US investments are a very high risks. So do your own research and be wise by reading more on geopolitics as it will affect investors in Malaysia. Peace

@stkoay bro do you know when is Harimau announcing the QR and dividend rate? I believe Friday evenings after market close as usual?

Posted by Balian de Ibelin > 6 days ago | Report Abuse

nothing will happen. USD die ..........whole world confirmed die.

As of January 2024, foreign countries held a total of eight trillion U.S. dollars in U.S. treasury securities, with China holding 797.7 billion U.S. dollars1. China has steadily accumulated U.S. Treasury securities over the last few decades, owning roughly 10% of the U.S. national debt

having said that Powell only cuts rates if recession.
50% of US citizens feel they are in recession due to high debt levels.

Household Debt Ticks Up to $17.80 Trillion in Second Quarter; Mortgage Originations Remain Low  
Total household debt rose by $109 billion to reach $17.80 trillion, according to the latest Quarterly Report on Household Debt and Credit. Mortgage balances were up $77 billion to reach $12.52 trillion, while auto loans increased by $10 billion to reach $1.63 trillion and credit card balances increased by $27 billion to reach $1.14 trillion. The volume of mortgage originations remained low, primarily due to subdued refinancing activity. Homeowners continued to increase balances on home equity lines of credit (HELOC) as an alternative way to extract home equity; HELOC limits rose by $3 billion, marking the ninth consecutive quarterly increase.  Aggregate delinquency rates remained unchanged from the previous quarter, with 3.2 percent of outstanding debt in some stage of delinquency.

70% of China household wealth are locked into real estate for the next 70 years.
China households have no money to spend.

@jeffchan1901 bro I am not too sure about when QR will be out for MBB.
Last year was on last day but last Q was on 24th May. For MBB it can be early or last day, unlike CIMB it's always on last day evening.
MBB is always at mid day break.

Posted by stkoay > 6 days ago | Report Abuse

Based on 1Q result, I think dividend should be about 30 sen.

Posted by stkoay > 6 days ago | Report Abuse

There is no pre close report on MBB, unlike CIMB where they usually have pre close briefying for analyst about 1 mth before QR.

RHB OSK reported on CIMB....expecting mid-high single digit growth YOY .

Posted by jeffchan1901 > 6 days ago | Report Abuse

Yes, I am also cautiously optimistic that 30 sen would be the dividend too. According to records the last time they announced on 1 sept 2023 and the year before that 5 sept 2022 and in 2021 it was 8 sept 2021. it could be any day of the week. hard to gauge.

(Aug 26): Investors should pare their Chinese equity holdings and put their money in Indonesia and Malaysia, according to analysts at Nomura Holdings Inc.

They upgraded Malaysian and Indonesian stocks to 'overweight' from 'neutral', partly on their view that the two markets will benefit more from cuts to US interest rates, according to a note by strategists including Chetan Seth. The analysts cut their recommendations on MSCI China to 'neutral' from 'overweight'.

Investors have reason to take Nomura’s pick seriously. The bank’s strategists upgraded Taiwanese equities in December, and the benchmark Taiex Index is up around 25% this year. The wider MSCI Asia Pacific Index is up about 9.8% over the same period, while MSCI China has gained by 2.7%
