Ringgit retreats as investors watch for US central bank policy updates
KUALA LUMPUR, July 29 — The ringgit ended lower against the US dollar today as market traders await the outcome of the United States (US) Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, said an economist. The two-day FOMC meeting, taking place from July 29 to 30 in Washington, is expected to provide key guidance on the US Federal Reserve's monetary policy direction. At 6 pm, the local note eased to 4.2320/2365 versus the greenback from yesterday's close of 4.2275/2345. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said that in the meantime, the US labour market data will be the key focus tonight when the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) will be published. 'Consensus estimates have pegged the number of jobs openings to decline to 7.55 million in June from 7.769 million in the prior month,' he told Bernama. Thus far, he said, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has risen to as high as 99.01 but later hovers around 98.816 points. At the close, the ringgit ended higher against major currencies. It rose against the Japanese yen to 2.8479/8511 from 2.8497/8546 at the close on Monday, appreciated versus the British pound to 5.6518/6578 from 5.6720/6814 last week, and edged higher against the euro to 4.8990/9042 from 4.9331/9412 previously. The ringgit was also mostly higher against regional peers. It was higher against the Indonesian rupiah at 257.8/258.2 from yesterday's 258.3/258.9, gained against the Singapore dollar to 3.2875/2913 from 3.2917/2974, improved against the Philippine peso to 7.38/7.39 from 7.39/7.41, but weakened versus the Thai baht to 13.0537/0740 from 13.0511/0787 previously. — Bernama

Bursa stays bullish for FY2025 as fund managers hold record cash levels, forecasts return of foreign funds, IPO boom
KUALA LUMPUR, July 29 — Bursa Malaysia Bhd is maintaining its pre-tax profit (PBT) target of between RM369 million and RM408 million for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2025 (FY2025). Its chief executive officer, Datuk Fad'l Mohamed, said the projection remains amid strong liquidity from the domestic market and stable economic growth. He pointed out that the target is part of Bursa Malaysia's headline key performance indicator for the year and sees its earnings would potentially come from its derivatives and non-trading revenues to remain strong in the second half of its FY2025. Fad'l added that Bursa Malaysia anticipates a double-digit growth in its non-trading revenues over the next three years. 'Local investors, in particular, are noteworthy. I understand that many fund managers are currently holding cash. Data indicates that as of May, fund managers are holding approximately 11.5 per cent cash, which is the highest level since January 2024. 'We hope to see a greater level of trading activities once that cash is deployed,' he told reporters after announcing Bursa Malaysia's financial performance results for the first half of 2025 today. Fad'l said a better performance for FY2025 would also be supported with favourable aspects such as the attractive valuation of FBM KLCI, which currently stood at a discount of 17 per cent to its 10-year mean. He added that Bursa Malaysia is on track to capture 60 initial public offerings (IPOs) throughout 2025, with RM40.2 billion in total IPO market capitalisation. He added that the preemptive move undertaken by Bank Negara Malaysia to reduce interest rates by 25 basis points would bring additional liquidity to the financial system, and the FBM KLCI would have an upside from its current level of 1,530. In the first half of 2025, Bursa Malaysia recorded 32 IPOs, comprising six in the main market, 23 in ACE and three in LEAP. Meanwhile, trading activities in Bursa Malaysia are expected to recover in the second half of 2025, supported by capital deployment from funds currently holding high levels of cash. 'A lot of it will be dependent on capital flows. And I think quite clearly, for us, we see that funds are already sitting on a lot of cash. So, they will want to deploy that cash,' said Fad'l. He added that Bursa Malaysia still holds to the annual average daily trading value (ADV) consensus of RM2.6 billion. Fad'l believes that foreign funds may return to the Malaysian market as current valuations present an attractive entry point and strategic imperatives begin to take shape. He added that towards the end of last year, the bourse operator saw some movements with foreign funds that were looking to find safe havens. 'There was a lot of uncertainty towards the end of last year, including the Asean markets, which recorded foreign outflows. I think right now would be a good time, given where valuations are, for foreign funds to come back,' Fad'l said. — Bernama

Air India audit finds 51 safety lapses, from unapproved simulators to training gaps
NEW DELHI, July 29 — India's aviation watchdog found 51 safety lapses at Air India in its July audit, including lack of adequate training for some pilots, use of unapproved simulators and a poor rostering system, according to a government report seen by Reuters. The annual audit was not related to the deadly Boeing 787 crash last month that killed 260 people in Ahmedabad, but its findings come as the airline faces renewed scrutiny after the accident. The Tata Group-owned airline is already facing warning notices for running planes without checking emergency equipment, not changing engine parts in time and forging records, along with other lapses related to crew fatigue management. The 11-page confidential audit report from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) noted seven 'Level I' significant breaches which need to be fixed by July 30, and 44 other non-compliances classified which need to be resolved by August 23. Officials said they found 'recurrent training gaps' for some unspecified Boeing 787 and 777 pilots, saying they had not completed their monitoring duties - where they don't fly but observe functioning of instruments in the cockpit - ahead of mandatory periodic evaluations. Air India's fleet includes 34 Boeing 787s and 23 Boeing 777s, according to Flightradar24 website. Flagging operational and safety risks, officials wrote in their report that Air India did not do 'proper route assessments' for some so-called Category C airports - which may have challenging layouts or terrain - and conducted training for such airfields with simulators that did not meet qualification standards. 'This may account to non-consideration of safety risks during approaches to challenging airports,' the DGCA audit report said. In a statement to Reuters, Air India said it was 'fully transparent' during the audit. It added it will 'submit our response to the regulator within the stipulated time frame, along with the details of the corrective actions.' A preliminary report into the June crash found that the fuel control switches were flipped almost simultaneously after takeoff and there was pilot confusion in the cockpit. One pilot asked the other why he cut off the fuel and the other responded that he hadn't done so, the report said. The DGCA has often flagged concerns about Air India pilots breaching the limits of their flight-duty periods, and the audit report said an AI-787 Milan-New Delhi flight last month exceeded the limit by 2 hours and 18 minutes, calling it a 'Level I' non-compliance. The audit was conducted by 10 DGCA inspectors, and included another four auditors. It also criticized the airline's rostering system, which it said 'doesn't give a hard alert' if a minimum number of crew members were not being deployed on a flight, adding that at least four international flights had flown with insufficient cabin crew. Tata acquired Air India from the government in 2022. While it has aggressively expanded its international network, it faces persistent complaints from passengers, who often take to social media to show soiled seats, broken armrests, non-operational entertainment systems and dirty cabin areas. Reuters reported last week that Air India's senior executives, including the airline's director of flight operations and its director of training, were sent notices on July 23 flagging 29 'systemic' lapses, pulling up the airline for ignoring 'repeated' warnings. Air India has said it will respond to the regulator. The audit report noted that 'door checks and equipment checks' showed inconsistency with procedures and there were gaps in training documentation. Further, it said no chief pilots were assigned for Airbus A320 and A350 fleet. 'This results in a lack of accountability, and effective monitoring of flight operations for these aircraft types,' the report said. Last year, authorities warned or fined airlines in 23 instances for safety violations, with 11 involving the Air India Group. The biggest fine was US$127,000 (RM537,782) on Air India for 'insufficient oxygen on board' during some international flights. — Reuters
