Bursa Malaysia to trade at 1,500–1,530 next week amid tariffs, Middle East tensions
KUALA LUMPUR — Bursa Malaysia's key index is set to move between 1,500 and 1,530 next week, as markets remain under pressure amid concerns over Washington's planned unilateral tariff letters and escalating tensions following Israel's strike on Iran. UOB Kay Hian Wealth Advisors Sdn Bhd's head of investment research Mohd Sedek Jantan said markets are expected to remain vulnerable and trade lower in the near term, unless a meaningful breakthrough occurs over the weekend to de-escalate the conflict, an outcome he said appears unlikely. 'From a tactical standpoint, oil and gas (O&G) stocks may present short-term trading opportunities, particularly those with upstream exposure or companies expanding their upstream concessions, as they stand to benefit directly from the current rally in oil prices,' he told Bernama. Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd equity research vice-president Thong Pak Leng said market participants are advised to closely monitor ongoing geopolitical tensions and any developments related to US President Donald Trump's stance on US-China trade tariffs. 'We also believe the rise in crude oil prices could present opportunities for investors to explore O&G and commodity related stocks. We anticipate the benchmark index to trend within the 1,500-1,530 range, representing its support and resistance levels,' he added. Thong noted that if tensions continue to escalate, the second support level is projected at 1,485. For the week just ended, Bursa Malaysia kicked off in positive territory at the beginning of the week, driven by positive developments in the US-China trade negotiations, stocks accumulation by local institutions, and a slowdown in foreign selling activity. On a Friday-to-Friday basis, the barometer index rose 1.32 points to 1,518.11 from 1,516.79 a week earlier. The FBM Emas Index gained 14.84 points to 11,370.18, the FBMT 100 Index added 20.35 points to 11,144.04, and the FBM Emas Shariah Index climbed 0.31 of-a-point to 11,329.53. The FBM 70 Index increased 72.14 points to 16,368.71 while the FBM ACE Index fell 32.13 points to 4,487.19. Across sectors, the Industrial Products and Services Index was 0.55 of-a-point higher at 151.35 and the Energy Index gained 22.31 points to 740.76. The Plantation Index slid 31.93 points to 7,220.92, the Healthcare Index drooped 16.42 points to 1,777.72, and the Financial Services Index tumbled 60.06 points to 17,648.25. Turnover surged to 13.89 billion units worth RM10.61 billion from 9.80 billion units worth RM8.18 billion in the preceding week. The Main Market volume jumped to 6.42 billion units valued at RM9.47 billion against 4.50 billion units valued at RM7.21 billion previously. Warrants turnover expanded to 5.97 billion units worth RM687.92 million versus 4.07 billion units worth RM533.43 million a week ago. The ACE Market volume improved to 1.50 billion units valued at RM458.75 million compared with 1.22 billion units valued at RM432.22 million in the preceding week. — BERNAMA

Interview: China-Africa expo highlights deepening economic ties, says Zimbabwean expert
HARARE, June 13 (Xinhua) -- The ongoing China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo (CAETE) showcases the deepening economic ties between China and Africa and serves as a platform for advancing pragmatic, mutually beneficial cooperation, a policy expert told Xinhua on Friday. "The ongoing CAETE shows that China and Africa can work together to develop pragmatic solutions that will enhance cooperation and mutual benefit, while enhancing sustainable development and modernization in Africa," Munetsi Madakufamba, executive director of the Southern African Research and Documentation Center, a Zimbabwe-based think tank, told Xinhua in a written interview. Noting that trade between China and Africa has expanded significantly since the inception of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in 2000, Madakufamba said platforms such as CAETE help further deepen trade, drive Africa's industrialization and narrow trade disparities. "Africa aspires not only to import finished goods but also to develop its manufacturing sector, which requires the development of infrastructure and machinery to produce finished goods," he said, adding that Africa welcomes China to establish more manufacturing hubs in Africa to facilitate the continent's modernization and industrialization. Such cooperation, he added, would allow Africa to leapfrog with cutting-edge technology and build robust industrial capacity, while creating new trade and investment opportunities for both sides. Besides strengthening economic and trade relations, Madakufamba said that the expo also aligns with the 10 partnership action plans proposed at last year's FOCAC summit. During a ministerial meeting in Changsha city ahead of the expo, China announced plans to extend zero-tariff treatment on 100 percent of tariff lines to all 53 African countries with which it maintains diplomatic ties. Madakufamba praised this commitment as a major step forward in boosting trade and deepening Sino-African cooperation. "In today's environment characterized by trade wars and worldwide tariff impositions by the United States, the CAETE presents a platform for pragmatic solutions that have the potential to balance global trade," he said, noting that engaging with African entrepreneurs and innovators is essential to address the unique demands of the African market. The expo is further evidence of China's commitment to economic globalization, multilateralism, and the sharing of development gains with the world, he added.

Roundup: China, Africa seek increased opportunities in EV cooperation
by Justice Lee Adoboe ACCRA, June 13 (Xinhua) -- China and African countries are seeking more opportunities for cooperation in electric vehicle (EV) development and manufacturing. During the 2025 China-Africa Automotive Development Forum held in Ghana earlier this week, experts, policymakers, investors, and engineers from China and African countries shared their views on the necessity and feasibility of EV development in Africa's automotive industry. Kojo Annobil, director at the Ghana Automotive Development Center (GADC), told Xinhua that Ghana would leverage its strong relations with China to include EVs in its automotive industry development agenda. In line with the new agenda, Ghana would revise its automotive development policy to make room for EV development in the country, he said. Under the revised policy, Annobil said the GADC would work with the government to introduce tax incentives on the importation of EV components that cannot be produced locally to make the final products more affordable to Ghanaians and promote EVs in the country. The revised policy would also capture knowledge transfer to enable the training of a pool of local engineers and technicians specialized in EVs, according to Annobil. "What we have to do is strengthen relationships with China and see how we can further the technology transfer going forward," he said. Seth Mahu, director in charge of renewable energy at the Ghanaian Ministry of Energy and Green Transition, said in a statement that Ghana has laid the groundwork for the manufacture of EVs. He said that with at least eight vehicle assembly plants in the country, including a Chinese company and a local entity, Ghana is now ready for the next step from assembling combustion vehicles to designing and producing EVs, tailored for African roads, powered by African minds, and built with African hands. On infrastructure, he said that Ghana is expanding the national EV charging network with solar-grid hybrid models to ensure resilience and sustainability. "With Ghana's abundant solar potential, our future charging infrastructure will not just be functional. It will be clean, decentralized, and smart. We plan to deploy, over the next five years, at least 100 rapid charging stations nationwide," the official added. Besides Ghana, Nigeria has also been paving the way for the green transition of the automotive industry. At the forum, Philip Iorliam Ianna, Nigerian engineer at the National Automotive Design and Development Council, revealed that Nigeria has pledged to achieve 100 percent in EV adoption by 2060, while vowing to reduce import duties and exempt value-added tax on EVs. Ianna noted that over 20 Nigerian companies are engaged in EV manufacturing, primarily focusing on electric two-wheelers. Although full-scale local production remains limited, these firms have laid the groundwork for expanding domestic capabilities, he said, expressing expectations of further collaboration with China in the area. Yang Yang, managing director of Zonda Tec Ghana Limited, a Chinese vehicle assembly plant in Ghana, announced that her company would soon start assembling EVs locally. "We are now building a state-of-the-art assembly plant dedicated to EVs, a game-changer that will put Ghana on the map as a leader in sustainable mobility," Yang said. Yang pledged efforts to synergize China's world-leading new energy vehicle (NEV) technologies with localized operational expertise, as well as capitalize on China's NEV sector growth and battery supply chain dominance to meet African market demands. She added that this new EV plant is more than just a factory; it is about creating vehicles that are affordable, reliable, and environmentally friendly, designed with African roads and African lives in mind. During the forum, multiple scholars and engineers from countries including China, Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria presented their research projects in advanced EV technologies, while an exhibition mounted by Chinese auto companies showcased their newest brands.
