CPO Futures Expected To Trade With Downward Bias Next Week
KUALA LUMPUR, July 26 (Bernama) -- The crude palm oil (CPO) futures contract on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives is expected to trade with a downward bias next week due to profit-taking from the recent rally.
Interband Group of Companies senior palm oil trader Jim Teh said the palm oil stock in June is high, at about two million tonnes; hence, prices are expected to trade in a tight range between RM3,800 per tonne and RM3,900 per tonne next week.
'The physical demand for palm oil would come from China, India, Pakistan, the Middle East and European countries,' he told Bernama.
Similarly, palm oil trader David Ng said the rising output and stock levels of CPO in Malaysia will be the market focus next week.
He said Russia's announcement on the suspension of export duty for sunflower oil, as reported, might have a short-term impact on CPO prices.
'We expect prices to trade between RM4,150 per tonne and RM4,300 per tonne next week,' he said.
On a weekly basis, the August 2025 contract slid RM41 to RM4,221 per tonne, while the September 2025 contract shrank RM51 to RM4,258 per tonne, and the October 2025 contract shed RM42 to RM4,273 per tonne.
The November 2025 contract inched down RM22 to RM4,283 per tonne, December 2025 remained unchanged from last week at RM4,290 per tonne, and January 2026 gained RM15 to RM4,290 per tonne.

Stronger-than-expected June IPI Signals Solid 2Q GDP Growth -- RHB IB
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 7 (Bernama) -- June 2025's stronger-than-expected Industrial Production Index (IPI) points to solid second-quarter gross domestic product (2Q GDP) growth of 4.5 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y), with potential upside towards 4.6 per cent, according to RHB Investment Bank Bhd (RHB IB). Data released by the Statistics Department Malaysia (DOSM) today revealed that Malaysia's IPI rose by three per cent y-o-y in June 2025 from 0.3 per cent y-o-y in May 2025, mainly driven by growth momentum in the manufacturing and electricity sectors. 'This was higher than our in-house projection of -0.5 per cent y-o-y, and Bloomberg consensus estimate of 0.5 per cent y-o-y,' RHB IB said in a statement today.

Rahmah Sale A Crowd-puller At Kelantan PMR 2025
KOTA BHARU, Aug 7 (Bernama) -- Amid increasingly challenging economic conditions, the Rahmah MADANI sale, held in conjunction with the Kelantan MADANI Rakyat Programme (PMR) 2025, is a source of relief for the people as it offers essential goods at significantly lower prices. The initiative under the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) not only eases the burden of the rising cost of living but also positions PMR as a people-friendly one-stop platform. Visitors can also redeem their Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (SARA) assistance and purchase subsidised cooking oil, making the Rahmah sale one of the most impactful components of the three-day programme. Housewife Kamilah Mohamad Nor, 65, from Kampung Seri Kemunting, Besut, said the Rahmah sale enabled her to plan household expenses more efficiently. 'Usually, I spend between RM100 and RM150 on essentials like rice, onions, and flour here. The savings are noticeable and enough to cover our family's monthly needs,' she told Bernama when met at the Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium today. Meanwhile, Mariati Mat Zin, 52, described the Rahmah sale as a 'smart addition' to Kelantan PMR 2025. 'I came here for the agriculture exhibition, but took the opportunity to shop at the Rahmah sale. It makes PMR more people-centric and inclusive,' she said. Kelantan PMR 2025, which kicked off today, is spearheaded by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) in collaboration with the Implementation Coordination Unit of the Prime Minister's Department (ICU JPM) and supported by various ministries and government agencies. The programme offers more than 100 direct services to the public, showcases the latest technologies, and features various community outreach initiatives, all part of the holistic MADANI government approach.

Scotland To Consider Imposing Formal Boycott On Israel

REUTERS/Hannah McKay LONDON, Aug 7 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- The Scottish government is considering whether to impose a formal boycott on Israel after the Greens co-leader urged First Minister John Swinney to adopt the principles of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported. As Scottish daily The National reported on Thursday, the Greens' Ross Greer called for sweeping measures including official guidance to businesses, cutting funding to arms firms linked to Israel, and enabling councils to exclude companies involved in the occupation of Palestinian territories. A Scottish government spokesperson confirmed that Cabinet ministers will 'consider' the proposal. bootstrap slideshow The BDS movement seeks to apply economic and political pressure on Israel similar to the international boycott of apartheid-era South Africa. The move would mirror anti-apartheid boycotts and target firms linked to Israeli occupation, arms trade, and settlement activity. Greer's letter to Swinney called for official guidance to be issued to Scottish businesses, encouraging them to end trade with Israel, a move similar to measures taken against Russia in 2022 following the start of the Ukraine war. Greer also urged the government to repeal part of the UK's Local Government Act 1988, which currently restricts councils from excluding companies from contracts based on political criteria. He suggested amending the Community Wealth Building Bill to enable local authorities to bar firms involved in 'the illegal occupation of Palestinian territory.' Greer further called for an end to public funding for arms companies that have supplied Israel 'during the genocide' and for the government to cut ties with 'all other companies directly complicit in the occupation.' He added that pension funds should be encouraged to divest from companies 'complicit in Israel's apartheid regime,' and proposed that financial penalties be imposed on such companies.
