Bursa faces choppy week ahead as US tariff decision looms, says analyst
KUALA LUMPUR, July 26 — The risk of higher United States (US) tariffs on Malaysia as the Aug 1 deadline draws near is likely to weigh on Bursa Malaysia next week, although domestically-oriented counters are expected to remain relatively resilient, supported by firm internal demand and fiscal tailwinds. UOB Kay Hian Wealth Advisors Sdn Bhd head of investment research Mohd Sedek Jantan said volatility is expected to intensify as markets approach a critical inflection point in global trade policy. 'Domestically-oriented counters on Bursa Malaysia are likely to remain relatively resilient. However, export-driven sectors may continue to face pressure in the absence of a favourable resolution to the tariff negotiations,' he told Bernama. He noted that no formal announcement has been made on the revised US tariff schedule for Malaysia. 'Should Malaysia succeed in securing a rate below the symbolic 20 per cent threshold, we anticipate renewed investor interest, particularly in the manufacturing and electrical and electronics sectors. Until then, most investors are expected to adopt a wait-and-see approach, prioritising capital preservation over risk-taking,' he said. Regionally, market focus is shifting towards renewed US–China trade diplomacy as Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng is set to lead high-level negotiations in Sweden from July 27–30, ahead of the expiry of the 90-day tariff suspension on Aug 12. 'The outcome will be instrumental in shaping regional trade sentiment and broader market tone heading into August,' Mohd Sedek said. Globally, investor attention remains fixed on a packed US macroeconomic calendar, particularly with the upcoming the Federal Open Market Committee meeting on July 30, the June Personal Consumption Expenditure inflation print and July non-farm payrolls, which will provide important policy signals. Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd equity research vice-president Thong Pak Leng said market participants will turn their focus to China's July Purchasing Managers Index as well as Eurozone Consumer Price Index. For the week just ended, optimism spurred by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's 'appreciation package' and renewed confidence in domestic fiscal support lifted utilities and consumer counters, but the momentum proved short-lived as broad-based selling later overshadowed mid-week support from telco stocks. For the week under review, the benchmark index rose 7.90 points to 1,533.76 on Friday from 1,525.86 a week earlier. The FBM Emas Index increased 26.99 points to 11,506.82 and the FBMT 100 Index gained 28.03 points to 11,269.72, but the FBM Emas Shariah Index slid 8.89 points to 11,528.98, the FBM 70 Index dipped 90.15 points to 16,607.57 and the FBM ACE Index dropped 32.77 points to 4,639.02. By sector, the Financial Services Index jumped 99.4 points to 17,454.23, the Plantation Index reduced 7.10 points to 7,434.79 and the Energy Index went up 0.21 of a point to 739.85. Weekly turnover narrowed to 11.92 billion units worth RM11.43 billion from 15.53 billion units worth RM11.77 billion in the previous week. Main Market volume slid to 6.63 billion units valued at RM9.70 billion compared with 6.73 billion units valued at RM10.07 billion previously. Warrant turnover grew to 7.10 billion units worth RM1.15 billion from 6.83 billion units worth RM966.72 million in the preceding week. ACE Market volume shrank to 1.68 billion units valued at RM577.05 million versus 1.97 billion units valued at RM729.96 million previously. — Bernama

Singapore Stocks End Lower Ahead Of MAS Policy Review
Singapore shares closed slightly lower on July 25 as investors adopted a cautious stance ahead of the Monetary Authority of Singapore's (MAS) upcoming policy announcement, while selective gains in transport and property counters offered some support. The benchmark Straits Times Index (STI) slipped 0.28% to finish at 4,261 points, retreating from recent record highs. The modest decline followed three consecutive sessions of gains as profit-taking and macroeconomic uncertainty weighed on sentiment. Among the notable movers, ComfortDelGro surged 6.5% to S$1.64, making it one of the day's top gainers by volume. City Developments also climbed 2.9%, closing at S$6.38, buoyed by renewed interest in real estate equities amid hopes of sustained recovery in the property sector. Meanwhile, Singapore Exchange Ltd edged slightly lower to close at S$15.86, trading over 1.3 million shares. The stock hovered between S$15.83 and S$15.99 during the session. Investor focus now shifts to the MAS semi-annual monetary policy statement due on July 30. Economists remain split on whether the central bank will adjust its exchange rate-based policy stance or hold off to gauge the full impact of earlier tightening. Singapore's recent economic data showed resilient, albeit slowing, growth, adding to the policy uncertainty. Despite the STI's recent momentum, crossing the 4,200 mark earlier this week, analysts caution that the rally may lack sustainability without new macro or earnings catalysts. Regional economic indicators and upcoming corporate results are expected to provide further direction. Outlook: With policy uncertainty and mixed global signals, market participants are likely to remain on edge in the coming week. The STI's slight pullback underscores investors' cautious optimism amid ongoing macroeconomic recalibration. Related

Investing with purpose
WEALTH was once measured in numbers alone. Today, it is also measured in meaning—in the lives it improves, the futures it shapes and the values it reflects. This shift has fueled the rise of meaningful investing, where affluent individuals are increasingly looking beyond financial performance and seeking purpose in their portfolios. For a new generation of affluent investors, particularly millennials and Gen Zs who are building or inheriting wealth, consideration for long-term ESG factors is now seen as standard and expected. These investors want to know that their financial decisions reflect their values, whether that means supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy, backing companies with strong social governance, or contributing to long-term environmental resilience. A practical guide As sustainable investing becomes more mainstream, the term ESG is showing up more often in wealth and portfolio conversations. But what does it mean in this context and how is it measured? ESG stands for the three key lenses investors use to assess how responsibly a company operates beyond financials: > Environmental: How a company manages emissions, energy, waste, and biodiversity impact. > Social: How it treats workers, customers and communities. This includes labour rights, privacy and diversity. > Governance: How the company is run from board oversight and ethics to executive pay and transparency. To help investors navigate these factors, ESG ratings are used as benchmarking tools Independent agencies like MSCI, Sustainalytics, and S&P Global assign scores based on how well companies manage ESG risks and opportunities compared to their peers. Most ratings use either a letter-grade scale such as CCC to AAA; or a numerical scale such as 0 to 100, where higher scores reflect stronger ESG performance. Crucially, a high ESG rating does not mean a company is perfectly 'green' or ethical. It means that it is managing ESG issues better than others in its sector. For instance, a mining company with strong environmental controls may still score well, despite the industry's overall footprint. Ratings are a helpful starting point, but not a final judgment. Agencies may score the same company differently due to varied data sources or methodologies. Hence, investors are encouraged to combine ESG scores with company disclosures, regional or thematic insights, professional advice as well as personal or sector values. As the field evolves, regulators are pushing for greater consistency and transparency in ESG assessments. In the end, ESG isn't about labelling a company as 'good' or 'bad.' It helps businesses make better-informed investment decisions that align profit with purpose. Shaping purposeful wealth journeys Recognising this growing interest in sustainability, OCBC Bank (Malaysia) Bhd (OCBC Bank) has taken a holistic approach to help clients integrate ESG considerations into their investment journeys. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all model, the bank empowers clients to make informed, values-aligned decisions through a suite of solutions, including: > Digital tools that support discovery and decision-making such as ESG fund screeners, portfolio analysers and thematic investment journeys that highlight opportunities in areas like climate tech or social impact. Some tools even estimate the carbon footprint or impact potential of a client's portfolio. > Strategic partnerships with some of the world's top investment managers —including BlackRock, Fidelity, and Schroders—to expand access to high- quality, sustainability-focused investment products. > Dedicated advisory from relationship managers trained in ESG topics, ensuring clients receive timely, relevant, and personalised guidance. This approach ensures that the bank's clients are supported at every stage—from understanding ESG concepts to building portfolios that reflect both their financial objectives and personal values. Importantly, it recognises that responsible investing does not require compromising on performance. Fusing sustainability with service OCBC Bank's commitment to sustainability extends beyond its products and services. The consideration of sustainability is even applied to design thinking of its client spaces. The bank's Premier Private Client Centre in Bangsar, for instance, was conceived with ESG principles in mind. Its features include: > Energy-efficient systems to reduce carbon footprint. > Biophilic elements, which promote wellbeing and energy efficiency—bringing natural light and greenery into the space. > EV charging bays, encouraging the use of low-emission vehicles. > Incorporation of Malaysian heritage and art, supporting local culture and contributing to the communities' social sustainability. These design choices reflect OCBC Bank's belief that ESG should go beyond portfolios to shape the entire client experience—from advisory conversations to appreciation of physical spaces. Wealth with intention As clients increasingly seek to align their investments with their values, financial institutions play a vital role by providing access to sustainable products and supporting informed, confident decision-making. OCBC Bank remains committed to helping clients navigate this transition. By offering relevant tools, expert insights, and purpose-driven solutions, the bank enables investors to take a long-term view—building portfolios that are financially robust, ethically grounded, and aligned with the future they wish to see.
