Ringgit rises as US plans new tariffs on major partners
KUALA LUMPUR : The ringgit opened higher against the US dollar on Monday, lifted by concerns over Washington's plan to impose tariffs on three major trading partners from Aug 1, 2025. Over the weekend, US President Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 30% tariff on goods from the European Union and Mexico, and a 35% tariff on Canadian products. At 8am, the ringgit strengthened to 4.2405/4.2635 against the greenback, compared with Friday's close of 4.2475/4.2525. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Afzanizam Rashid said the US had weaponised tariffs to gain economic advantage. 'Clearly, the tariff policy instrument has been weaponised by the US to address economic imbalances. 'This means downside risks to global growth remain elevated, while the risk of higher inflation especially in the US, is becoming more apparent, complicating the Federal Reserve's decision-making on rate cuts,' he noted. Afzanizam added that the ringgit is expected to remain within a narrow range of RM4.24 to RM4.25 amid ongoing global uncertainties. At the open, the ringgit was higher against a basket of major currencies. It advanced against the Japanese yen to 2.8792/2.8950 from 2.8893/2.8929, strengthened against the British pound to 5.7234/5.7544 from 5.7524/5.7592, and gained versus the euro to 4.9546/4.9815 from 4.9679/4.9737 previously. The local note was also firmer against most Asean currencies, except the Thai baht. It rose vis-a-vis the Singapore dollar to 3.3119/3.3303 from 3.3186/3.3228, edged up against the Indonesian rupiah to 261.4/263.0 from 261.8/262.3, and appreciated versus the Philippine peso to 7.51/7.55 from 7.52/7.53. However, it slipped against the Thai baht to 13.0916/13.1711 from 13.0668/13.0886 at Friday's close.

Ambalat needs quiet diplomacy, not open debates
The recent pledge by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Indonesia's President Prabowo Subianto to pursue peaceful, mutually beneficial economic cooperation deserves praise for its pragmatic foresight. The pledge in June includes several promising prospects. Among them is a plan to jointly explore and develop the contested oil- and gas-rich Ambalat block in the Celebes Sea, off the eastern coast of Sabah. If this initiative proceeds, it would mark a welcome step away from the longstanding impasse over unresolved maritime boundaries between the two countries. For Malaysia, this peaceful mechanism for managing maritime territorial disputes is neither new nor unprecedented. Among ASEAN members, Malaysia pioneered the approach by signing joint development agreements — first with Thailand in 1979, and later with Vietnam in 1992 — enabling shared exploration and development of hydrocarbon reserves across vast contested areas in the Gulf of Thailand. In the context of international law, this arrangement is consistent with provisions in the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which allow collaborative measures to be implemented while disputing parties seek a final resolution over the contested area. In the case of Ambalat, the intention of both countries to manage the dispute peacefully aligns with the principles embodied in the ASEAN Charter. Certain parties, though, voiced objections to jointly developing Ambalat's oil and gas resources with Indonesia. However, the public uproar also highlights a deeper issue: the misguided notion that the details of delicate negotiations and high-level meetings between leaders or government officials must be made public. Not all diplomatic negotiations are created equal, nor should they be subject to real-time public scrutiny. Some issues, especially those involving maritime territorial and boundary disputes like the Ambalat seabed, are highly technical, legally complex and inherently sensitive. Openly debating these topics risks turning nuanced discussions into populist spectacles. The reality is that maritime boundary delimitation requires expertise in international law, hydrography and history — fields in which few laypersons or politicians are truly knowledgeable. Keeping the negotiation process private, at least to a certain degree, helps prevent misunderstandings or misinterpretations that could inflame tensions or derail delicate talks. Until finalised outcomes are reached, negotiators need private space to discuss sensitive issues, test ideas, make concessions and propose creative solutions without fear of immediate political backlash or public pressure. When talks unfold under the glare of public opinion, even a hint of flexibility is often seized upon as a sign of weakness, pushing parties to retreat into rigid, uncompromising stances. At certain stages, confidentiality in negotiations — even beyond the context of the Ambalat dispute — is essential to protect national interests and security. Prematurely revealing positions can weaken Malaysia's bargaining power and expose strategic vulnerabilities. Once negotiating lines become public, adversaries can exploit them, and domestic critics can pressure leaders or negotiators into rigid stances that leave no room for compromise or manoeuvring. Beyond joint development of economic resources in the disputed maritime areas, are there alternative options to manage or resolve the Ambalat dispute peacefully? Third-party dispute settlement mechanisms are one possibility worth considering. Malaysia has previously referred its maritime sovereignty disputes to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for adjudication, notably in cases involving the Sipadan and Ligitan islands with Indonesia, as well as Batu Puteh and two maritime features with Singapore. Nonetheless, pursuing this judicial route may not be the preferred option for Indonesia. When the ICJ awarded Sipadan and Ligitan to Malaysia in 2002, the judgment sparked protests in several Indonesian cities. Had every stage of the current Ambalat discussions been made public, nationalist fervour on either side could have derailed progress. Demanding full disclosure of every twist and turn of negotiations is unrealistic and counterproductive. In the case of Ambalat, success depends not only on what leaders decide, but also on society's willingness to trust the process. After decades of stalemate in the Ambalat dispute, we should give diplomacy the space it needs to succeed.

EU Negotiator: New US Tariffs On EU Imports Would 'Prohibit Trade'
FILE PHOTO: U.S. President Donald Trump delivers remarks on tariffs in the Rose Garden at the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., April 2, 2025. REUTERS/Carlos Barria/File Photo BRUSSELS, July 14 (Bernama-dpa) -- The 30 per cent tariffs imposed by the United States (US) on imports from the European Union would severely impact trans-Atlantic trade and supply chains, German Press Agency (dpa) reported, quoting the EU's lead trade negotiator. "There will be a huge impact on trade. It will be almost impossible to continue the trading as we are used to in a trans-Atlantic relationship," EU Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič said about the threatened tariff hike from August 1. "It prohibits the trade," stressed Šefčovič, who leads the EU negotiating team in the trade dispute with Washington. bootstrap slideshow "The trans-Atlantic supply chains would be heavily affected on both sides of (the) Atlantic," he said, adding that the US would not want such a scenario. The EU was showing "enormous patience, enormous creativity to find the solutions" with the US, he said. US President Donald Trump's announcement that he is imposing additional tariffs came as EU negotiators were hoping that an agreement with Washington was within reach. Despite the disappointment, Šefčovič is still aiming for a negotiated solution, announcing new talks with his US counterparts later on Monday. "I cannot imagine walking away without genuine effort," he added. Šefčovič is attending a meeting of EU trade ministers in Brussels. The commissioner said he will discuss possible countermeasures with ministers to be prepared in case negotiations fail.
