THAI Airways Bolsters the Role of Nordic–Asia Pacific Connectivity Hub to Celebrate 120 Years of Thai–Norwegian Diplomatic Relations
The daily Bangkok–Oslo direct flight serves as a central link between Nordic and Asia-Pacific regions, enabling travelers to smoothly connect from Oslo to key Scandinavian cities, including Stockholm, Helsinki, Iceland, and Copenhagen. Likewise, this route also allows passengers to conveniently transit through Bangkok to access major Asia-Pacific destinations such as Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei, Singapore, Sydney, Melbourne, Ho Chi Minh City, Bali, Vientiane, and Phnom Penh, via THAI's extensive partner network. Passengers from both regions can therefore plan their business and leisure trips easily and smoothly.
To commemorate the 120th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Thailand and the Kingdom of Norway, Thai Airways proudly supports the 'Charity Walk–Run in Oslo' event, scheduled for June 22, 2025. Organized by the Royal Thai Embassy in Oslo in collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, the event aims to foster the profound and enduring international cooperation that has been established since 1905 with the historic visit of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) to the Kingdom of Norway, marking official diplomatic ties between the two Kingdoms.
All proceeds from the 'Charity Walk–Run in Oslo' event, with no deductions, will go to Siriraj Hospital's fund for underprivileged patients. Travelers are cordially invited to join this special activity and may book their flights at https://www.thaiairways.com/flights/en-th/flights-to-oslo or through their nearest authorized travel agents.

Bursa opens lower as investors eye 13MP, Fed signals pause
KUALA LUMPUR : Bursa Malaysia opened slightly lower on Thursday as investors remained cautious ahead of the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) announcement later today, and after the US Federal Reserve signalled a prolonged pause in interest rate cuts. At 9.12am, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) eased 2.30 points, or 0.15%, to 1,522.20 from Wednesday's close of 1,524.50. The benchmark index had opened 0.51 of a point firmer at 1,523.99. Market breadth was marginally positive, with 162 gainers outpacing 130 decliners. A total of 277 counters were unchanged, 1,926 untraded, and 53 suspended. Turnover stood at 198.38 million shares worth RM78.92 million. Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd vice-president of equity research Thong Pak Leng said investors were awaiting the 13MP announcement this afternoon, though its immediate market impact could be limited given its long-term fiscal reform focus. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is scheduled to table the 13MP in the Dewan Rakyat today. The five-year development blueprint will chart the nation's economic direction from 2026 to 2030. Thong added that sentiment was also weighed by Wall Street's mixed overnight performance, following the Fed's decision to keep rates unchanged as it continues to assess the impact of US tariffs. 'The FBM KLCI remained lacklustre, moving within a narrow range before ending marginally higher. With no clear catalysts, we expect the index to trend between the 1,520 and 1,530 range today,' he told Bernama. Among the heavyweights, Maybank rose three sen to RM9.48 and IHH Healthcare gained seven sen to RM6.70. Public Bank slipped six sen to RM4.23, Tenaga Nasional lost four sen to RM13.24, and CIMB eased two sen to RM6.53. On the actively traded list, Pharmaniaga slipped half a sen to 15.5 sen, Pestec International fell 1.5 sen to 13.5 sen, and TWL was flat at 2.5 sen. Zetrix AI added two sen to 86.5 sen, while Northeast Group advanced five sen to 69 sen. Top gainers included PPB, which climbed 11 sen to RM9.42, while Dutch Lady Milk Industries and ITMax System rose 10 sen each to RM27.30 and RM4.05, respectively. Among the top losers, Nestle declined 10 sen to RM87.30, while MMM Group dropped 4.5 sen to 1.5 sen. On the broader market, the FBM Emas Index shed 7.20 points to 11,428.33, while the FBMT 100 Index slipped 8.23 points to 11,190.47. The FBM Emas Shariah Index rose 11.09 points to 11,485.11. The FBM 70 Index gained 25.87 points to 16,515.57, and the FBM ACE Index edged up 5.74 points to 4,599.62. By sector, the Financial Services Index fell 56.71 points to 17,241.02, the Industrial Products and Services Index eased 0.12 of a point to 160.77, and the Plantation Index was down 1.93 points at 7,405.58.

Bursa opens higher on US tariff cut boost
KUALA LUMPUR : Bursa Malaysia rebounded from two days of losses to open higher on Friday, supported by improved sentiment following the US move to reduce the tariff rate on Malaysian imports. Washington earlier announced a 19% tariff on Malaysian goods, effective Aug 1, 2025. At 9.10am, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) rose 8.83 points, or 0.58%, to 1,522.08 from Thursday's close of 1,513.25. The benchmark index had opened 6.62 points higher at 1,519.87. Market breadth was positive, with gainers outpacing decliners 200 to 138. A total of 292 counters were unchanged, 1,860 untraded, and 11 suspended. Turnover stood at 244.74 million units worth RM111.66 million. Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd vice-president of equity research Thong Pak Leng said the lower-than-expected tariff is positive news for Malaysia. 'We believe investors will be happier to get this news. Hence sentiment should improve, and we revise our FBM KLCI target today to within the range of 1,510 to 1,530,' he added. Earlier today, US President Donald Trump also said there would be no tariff if Malaysia, or Malaysian companies, chose to build or manufacture products within the US. Since April, Malaysia has been negotiating with Washington, aiming to reduce the earlier-announced 24% tariff rate. The latest round of talks was held on June 18 this year. On July 7, Trump announced that it would impose a 25% tariff on any and all Malaysian products sent into the country, separate from all sectoral tariffs effective today, one percentage point higher compared to what had been announced in April. Among the heavyweights, Maybank, Tenaga Nasional and CIMB all climbed eight sen each to RM9.47, RM13.10 and RM6.63 respectively. Public Bank rose three sen to RM4.24 and IHH Healthcare was one sen higher to RM6.63. On the actively traded list, TWL inched up half-a-sen to three sen, Trive Property and Top Glove both remained unchanged at one sen and 68.5 sen respectively, and Pharmaniaga and NexG eased half-a-sen each to 17 sen and 53 sen respectively. Top gainers included Malaysian Pacific Industries which gained 60 sen to RM20.74, Main Market debutant UMS Integration which garnered 29 sen to RM5.29, and Pinehill Pacific which added 14 sen to 42 sen. Among the top losers, United Malacca declined 10 sen to RM5.25, Unimech reduced six sen to RM1.34, and MSM Malaysia dropped 5.5 sen to 96.5 sen. On the broader market, the FBM Emas Index gained 56.08 points to 11,456.55, the FBMT 100 Index edged up 60.75 points to 11,217.26, the FBM Emas Shariah Index rose 45.96 points to 11,507.63, the FBM 70 Index increased 71.58 points to 16,676.19, and the FBM ACE Index improved 6.53 points to 4,624.74. By sector, the Financial Services Index advanced 120.70 points to 17,273.40, the Industrial Products and Services Index inched up 0.57 of a point to 159.71, the Plantation Index bagged 27.75 points at 7,422.79, and the Energy Index ticked up 1.90 points to 750.24.
