Ringgit rebounds to open slightly higher vs US dollar

THE ringgit rebounded to open slightly higher against the US dollar and major currencies, despite the US dollar's uptrend amidst the United States (US)-Ukraine talk, said an analyst. At 8 am, the local note inched up to 4.2190/2320 from Monday's close of 4.2200/2240. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said investors are focusing on the ongoing discussion between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as well as the upcoming US Federal Reserve's (Fed) interest rate decision next month. Yesterday, it was reported that Trump met with Zelenskyy before holding talks with the leaders of Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Finland, the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). 'The US Dollar Index (DXY) is climbing ahead of the US Fed's meeting minutes and Jackson Hole Economic Symposium this week. 'It appears that the traders and investors are waiting for more indications whether the US central bank will cut the policy rates in the upcoming meeting in September,' he told Bernama. Meanwhile, the ringgit opened higher against a basket of major currencies this morning. It strengthened versus the Japanese yen to 2.8520/8610 from Monday's close of 2.8632/8661, improved against the British pound to 5.6986/7162 from 5.7139/7193 yesterday and increased vis-a-vis the euro to 4.9227/9379 from 4.9290/9336 previously. At the same time, the local note traded mixed against other ASEAN currencies. It rose versus the Singapore dollar to 3.2845/2949 from 3.2902/2936 at Monday's close and gained against the Thai baht to 12.9648/13.0127 from 12.9942/13.0121 yesterday. However, the local currency remained almost flat vis-à-vis the Philippine peso at 7.40/7.43, compared to 7.40/7.42 yesterday, and performed similarly against the Indonesian rupiah at 260.4/261.3, compared to 260.4/260.9 previously. — BERNAMA

Softbank Group To Invest US$2 Billion In Intel, Continuing US Chip Expansion

TOKYO, Aug 19 (Bernama-Kyodo) -- SoftBank Group Corp. will invest US$2 billion in struggling United States (US) chipmaker Intel Corp., the companies said on Tuesday, marking the Japanese investment fund's latest move into the development of artificial intelligence technology, Kyodo News Agency reported. "Semiconductors are the foundation of every industry," said SoftBank Group Chairman and CEO Masayoshi Son in a joint statement with Intel, showing his commitment to expanding advanced semiconductor manufacturing and supply in the United States. Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan said, "We are very pleased to deepen our relationship with SoftBank." bootstrap slideshow Under the agreement, SoftBank Group will acquire Intel common stock priced at US$23 per share. With the US company's market capitalisation at around US$100 billion, SoftBank's investment would likely represent an equity stake of approximately two per cent. The move comes as Bloomberg News reported on Monday that the administration of US President Donald Trump is in discussions for the government to take a stake of about 10 per cent in Intel. SoftBank Group is looking to increase its footprint in AI infrastructure in the United States, alongside companies such as OpenAI -- the developer of the widely used ChatGPT large language model. SoftBank, OpenAI and other partners said in January that they will invest at least US$500 billion in AI infrastructure in the United States over the next four years under a new project dubbed the Stargate Project. -- BERNAMA-KYODO

Tokyo ranked World's Best Workation City 2025 for internet speed, safety, and digital nomad visas

BANGKOK: Tokyo tops IWG's 2025 Workation ranking, praised for fast internet, safety, transport, and new digital nomad visa, drawing hybrid workers worldwide. Tokyo, Japan, has been named the world's best city for 'workation' — the blend of working while travelling — in the 2025 International Workplace Group (IWG) 'Work from Anywhere Barometer'. The annual report, now in its third year, evaluates global cities that combine strong working conditions with attractive leisure environments. Tokyo earned the top spot thanks to its high-speed internet, efficient public transport, safety, cultural vibrancy, and the recent launch of a Digital Nomad visa allowing longer stays than traditional visas. These factors have made the city a magnet for hybrid workers seeking flexibility and lifestyle balance. The Japanese capital also benefits from its proximity to mountains, beaches, and national parks, offering professionals the chance to enjoy both a bustling metropolis and nature within easy reach. IWG assessed major cities across 40 countries, scoring them 1-10 across 12 categories: climate, accommodation, food, transport, daily costs, internet speed, happiness index, access to flexible workspaces, cultural quality, digital nomad visa availability and costs, proximity to natural attractions, and sustainability. Two new criteria were added this year - digital nomad visas and access to nature. The survey revealed that 86% of hybrid workers consider access to flexible workspaces a decisive factor in choosing their workation destination. Mark Dixon, IWG's founder and CEO, noted: 'With hybrid working and cloud technology, employees now have the freedom to choose to work from anywhere, at any time.' Global top 10 Workation cities in 2025: Among the newcomers to the list were Tokyo, Seoul, Rome, Paris, and Valletta. Seoul stood out for its fast internet, efficient public transport, and growing digital nomad community, bolstered by South Korea's new visa scheme. Budapest, last year's No.1, fell to third but remains popular thanks to its food culture and high happiness index. Beyond Tokyo and Seoul, other Asian cities ranked highly, including Singapore, Jakarta, Manila, Mumbai, and Hong Kong. Singapore remained a top Asean choice, scoring highly in food, happiness, internet speed, and sustainability. The report highlighted Singapore's nationwide 5G network, seamless public transport, and abundant green spaces as major advantages. IWG also identified six emerging destinations for 2025: Mexico City, Cape Town, Prague, Melbourne, Orlando, and Reykjavik. These cities scored strongly on digital nomad visas and natural attractions. By contrast, Barcelona, Beijing, and Lisbon slipped down the rankings this year despite previous popularity. Dixon emphasised that the workation trend is here to stay. Flexible working and 'work from anywhere' policies are becoming permanent, especially in summer months. It enhances work-life balance, reduces burnout, and boosts productivity, he said. - The Nation/ANN
