Virus less severe, contained :)


The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 9.77 points, or 0.03%, to 29,186.27, the S&P 500 gained 0.96 points, or 0.03%, to 3,321.75, and the Nasdaq Composite added 12.96 points, or 0.14%, to 9,383.77.

NEW YORK: World stock markets gained back some ground on Wednesday as investors took heart from measures to curb the spread of a flu-like virus from China, while oil prices tumbled on a forecast for a market surplus.

Worries about contagion of the coronavirus and its effect on the global economy, particularly as millions in China travel for upcoming Lunar New Year festivities, had knocked the world's top equity markets off record peaks.

Deaths from the coronavirus rose to 17 on Wednesday, with more than 540 cases confirmed. Cases of the previously unknown virus have emerged as far away as the United States.

The outbreak revived memories of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic in 2002-03, a virus outbreak that killed nearly 800 people worldwide and hit Hong Kong's economy particularly hard.

But China's response to the coronavirus outbreak, including some travel restrictions and regular updates by the government, reassured some investors.

"The call here is not that the virus is done or nipped in the bud by any means," said Kay Van-Petersen, global macro strategist at Saxo Capital Markets. "But there have been no big further reported outbreaks, and the response from the Chinese authorities has been very, very positive."

On Wall Street, the benchmark S&P 500 stock index ended nominally higher after touching a record earlier in the session.

Among currencies, the safe-haven Japanese yen and the Swiss franc were little changed against the dollar as worries over the virus abated.

China's coronavirus had some lingering effects on oil markets. Concerns of dropping demand, along with a forecast of a market surplus from the International Energy Agency, pushed down crude prices.

Brent crude ended down $1.38, or 2.1%, at $63.21 while U.S. crude fell $1.64, or 2.8%, to settle at $56.74.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 9.77 points, or 0.03%, to 29,186.27, the S&P 500 gained 0.96 points, or 0.03%, to 3,321.75, and the Nasdaq Composite added 12.96 points, or 0.14%, to 9,383.77.

U.S. 2-year, 10-year and 30-year Treasury yields were little changed. Earlier, they hit two-week lows after the Bank of Canada held interest rates steady and opened the door for possible easing amid an economic slowdown, rekindling worries about global growth.

"For Canada to sort of change its outlook fairly quickly opens up the possibility that easing could occur elsewhere too," said Jim Vogel, senior rates strategist at FHN Financial in Memphis.

Benchmark 10-year Treasury notes were little changed in price to yield 1.7691%, from 1.769% late on Tuesday.

Across the Atlantic, Italian government bonds had their biggest sell-off in a month after reports the leader of the country's co-governing 5-Star movement had resigned.

The pan-European STOXX 600 equity index lost 0.08%, and MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe gained 0.10%. Emerging market stocks rose 0.58%.

The dollar index fell 0.01%, with the euro up 0.07% to $1.109.

The Japanese yen strengthened 0.01% versus the greenback at 109.88 per dollar, while sterling was last trading at $1.3135, up 0.67%.

Grab, Razer, AirAsia among firms exploring bids for Malaysia digital bank licence
Author: Tan KW | Publish date: Wed, 22 Jan 2020, 9:48 PM

SINGAPORE/KUALA LUMPUR: Ride-hailing group Grab, gaming firm Razer, AirAsia, telecoms firm Axiata and lender CIMB are among companies looking to apply for digital banking licences in Malaysia, sources said.

Some of these companies have begun talking to consultancies as they explore a possible foray into digital banking, said the people familiar with the matter.

Across Asia, regulators are opening up banking to new digital players, encouraged by a boom in mobile connectivity and the prospect of tech firms - not shackled to expensive physical branches - offering low-cost financial services.

This month Singapore received 21 applications for five digital bank licences.

In December, Malaysia's central bank announced plans to issue up to five licences to new online banks offering either conventional or Islamic banking under a proposed licensing framework set to be finalised by the end of June.

"Many financial and non-financial institutions are sizing up market opportunities and working with external parties," said one of the people, who declined to be identified as they were not authorised to speak to the media.

Malaysia has said it prefers bidders whose equity is controlled by local companies.

The people said Razer - whose fintech unit led a consortium for a Singapore application - was in talks with a local conglomerate for a Malaysian licence. Local lenders Hong Leong Bank and Maybank are also considering bidding for a licence, the people said.

Razer Fintech's CEO Lee Li Meng said the company had extensive operations in Malaysia in the digital payments space and would evaluate the digital banking opportunity.

One option for Axiata is to apply through Axiata Digital Services, which houses all of the group's digital ventures and owns the e-wallet Boost. AirAsia's financial services venture, BigPay, operates an e-wallet that comes with a prepaid card.

Ant Financial and Touch n' Go's e-wallet is the largest e-wallet service in Malaysia with 6.9 million registered users. CIMB, which owns a majority stake in Touch n' Go, is exploring a licence bid, the people said.

Axiata Digital said it had signalled interest for digital banking. Grab, AirAsia and Maybank declined to comment. CIMB did not respond to Reuters queries, while Ant Financial said it was too premature to comment.

Under Malaysia's draft proposals, digital banks have to offer products and services to address market gaps in "underserved and unserved segments" and maintain RM100mil in capital initially and ramp that up to RM300mil.

KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 23): Investors are going bargain hunting in Malaysia as they expect government policy changes to start bearing fruit.

Global funds from Aviva Investors to BNP Paribas SA are picking out cheap deals in the country after its benchmark stock index had the worst year since 2008. Sentiment appears to be on the mend as inflows into Malaysian equities swell to US$121 million so far in January, the biggest monthly purchase in a year.

Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has sought to rein in debt, restructure state-linked firms and spur economic growth since returning to power two years ago. That has led to billion-dollar projects being revised or canceled and leadership changes at the country’s biggest companies — moves that have roiled the markets. Still, the worst may be over.

“I consider Malaysia a rare gem as there are not many opportunities in this region where you get to invest in a market with a new government carrying out reforms,” said Clint Loh, a regional fund manager at Phillip Capital Management Sdn Bhd. “Others appear to flee on herd mentality, but there are pockets of opportunities to generate returns on this backdrop.”

Sentiment also got a boost after the central bank rolled out measures to deepen onshore markets ahead of a decision by FTSE Russell on whether to retain ringgit bonds in its World Government Bond Index. On Wednesday, policy makers unexpectedly cut the benchmark rate to the lowest since 2011.

Malaysia’s economy is set to expand 4.8% this year, from an estimated 4.7% in 2019, as receding trade-war concerns and infrastructure spending spurs investment.

So far, 2020 has been good to some Malaysian assets. The ringgit has gained 0.6%, the best performance in Asia after Indonesia’s rupiah and the Chinese yuan. Benchmark 10-year bonds have climbed while the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI Index of stocks has declined 0.7%.

Here’s a selection of views on Malaysian assets:

Aviva Investors
“We have a positive outlook for the ringgit and recently added a long position in our portfolios,” said Stuart Ritson, a fund manager at Aviva Investors. “We believe the ringgit is among the cheapest currencies in Asia and one that should benefit from a stabilization and anticipated recovery in global growth.”

Malaysia’s wider trade surplus will also support the currency, he added.

Barings
“At the bottom-up stock level, the Malaysian market does offer compelling investment ideas that have done extremely well last year and we expect to continue to find such ideas in 2020,” said Soo Hai Lim, head of Asia ex-China equities at Barings. Overall, the drivers for Malaysian stocks’ underperformance continue into this year, as improvements in US-China trade relations and the 5G roll-out prompt investors to look toward North Asian markets instead, he said.

Credit Suisse
“If people are looking for a defensive market, Malaysia will be our first pick,” said Dan Fineman, co-head of equity strategy for Asia Pacific at Credit Suisse Group AG, who doesn’t expect the country’s stocks to outperform against the moderate recovery in Asia more broadly. “Much of the market is still locked up in local long-term money,” he added.

Deutsche Bank
“Our view is for Malaysian government bonds to continue to provide an attractive total return in 2020,” said Rahul Bhan, head of Asia local markets trading, Malaysia, for Deutsche Bank AG. “The central bank remains accommodative, inflation is benign and there is a resurgence in demand from offshore clients.”

The bank expects the ringgit to gain toward 4.00 a US dollar, he added. “Malaysian government bond yields should stay range bound and our strategy remains to buy on dips.”

RHB Asset Management
RHB Asset Management Sdn Bhd expects the country’s equities to be supported by a corporate earnings recovery, low valuation compared with regional peers and improving exports amid reduced trade tensions, said Petrina Chong, head of Malaysia equity research.

The fund favors sectors including construction as major projects restart, health care due to higher state allocation, as well as plantation as palm oil prices recover, she said. RHB expects potential mergers in banking and telecommunications, and continued restructuring of government-linked companies in 2020.

State Street Global Advisors
“I expect both the ringgit and ringgit bonds to moderately appreciate,” said Ng Kheng Siang, Asia Pacific head of fixed income at State Street Global Advisors. “With global bond yields expected to stay at the low range for some time, investors may seek out exposures in emerging market bond segments which offer decent yield while fundamentals remain sound — such as Malaysia.”

AirAsia X, Philippines seems ok too :)

The ongoing eruption of Taal volcano near Manila is not expected to dent economic growth in the first quarter, with farm and property damage limited to surrounding towns, Planning Secretary Ernesto Pernia said.

MANILA: Philippine economic growth accelerated further in the fourth quarter after the government boosted infrastructure spending.

Gross domestic product expanded 6.4% in the October to December period, picking up pace from 6% in the third quarter, the Philippine Statistics Authority said in a briefing in Manila.

The showing matched the median forecast among 23 economists surveyed by Bloomberg.

The recovery wasn’t enough to power GDP growth to meet the government’s 6%-6.5% target for all of 2019. Economic growth averaged 5.9% last year.

Key Insights

A delay in passing the national budget in 2019 limited government spending and weighed on GDP growth in the first half of the year.

Spending has since rebounded, particularly for infrastructure projects, and is expected to continue after the government extended the validity of last year’s spending plan and approved the 2020 budget on time.

The Philippine central bank is prepared to cut its key interest rate by another 25 basis points in the first quarter of the year, despite inflation quickening in December, Governor Benjamin Diokno said Jan. 7.
