Dollar under pressure vs yen after Trump unveils Japan trade deal

The US currency has been one of the biggest losers since Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs on trading partners on April 2. (Reuters pic) TOKYO : The dollar was on a shaky footing against the yen on Wednesday, having lost ground overnight, after US President Donald Trump announced a trade deal with Japan ahead of an impending tariff deadline. The US currency has been one of the biggest losers since Trump announced sweeping tariffs on trading partners on April 2, only to delay and suspend most of the duties as his administration sought bilateral trade deals. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that a tariff rate of 15% was set on imports from Japan, down from the 25% rate that was expected to take effect from Aug 1, and added the Asian nation will invest US$550 billion in the United States. 'Dollar softness seems to be our opening proposition,' said Michael McCarthy, Market Strategist at Moomoo Australia. 'Clearly there's some dovishness infecting the market at the moment around the US dollar and we're seeing that in the bond markets too.' The dollar was largely flat at 146.61 yen, having slid 0.5% in the previous session. The dollar index, which tracks the greenback against major peers, was little changed at 97.430 after a three-day decline. The gauge has lost 6.6% since Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariff announcement on April 2. US treasury secretary Scott Bessent said on Monday the administration is more concerned with the quality of trade agreements than the timing. Asked whether the deadline could be extended for countries engaged in productive talks with Washington, Bessent said Trump would make that decision. Uncertainty over the eventual state of tariffs globally has been a huge overhang for the foreign exchange market, leaving currencies trading in a tight range for the most part, even as stocks on Wall Street have scaled fresh highs. Japan's all-important auto industry and rice imports were sticking points in protracted trade talks with the US. In his post on Truth Social, Trump said Japan would open to trade for US cars, trucks, rice and certain agricultural products, among other items. Tariffs on Japanese autos would be set at 15%, according to a person familiar with the matter. The euro stood at US$1.1739, down 0.1%. Sterling was little changed at US$1.35235, off 0.1%. Also weighing on investors' minds were worries about Federal Reserve independence, given Trump has repeatedly railed against chair Jerome Powell and urged him to resign because of the central bank's reluctance to cut interest rates. Bessent on Monday took a softer stance, saying there is no need for Powell to step down immediately, adding that he should see through the end of his term in May if he wants. The Australian dollar was steady at US$0.6557, while New Zealand's kiwi dollar traded at US$0.60065, up about 0.1%.

Petronas Chemicals drops 11% after RM1bil loss in Q2

Petronas Chemicals suffered its largest quarterly loss since listing with a RM1.08 billion net loss in Q2 FY2025. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : Petronas Chemicals Group Bhd's (PCG) shares tumbled 11% today after posting its largest quarterly loss since its listing in 2010, at RM1.08 billion for the second quarter ended June 30 (Q2 FY2025). The integrated chemicals producer, which posted a RM777 million net profit a year ago, saw its earnings affected by lower product margins, huge unrealised foreign exchange losses, and asset impairments. The stock fell as much as 44 sen or 11% to RM3.52 in the afternoon session, following the release of its Q2 financial results. It managed to pare its losses to close 36 sen or 9.1% lower at RM3.60, valuing the group at RM28.8 billion. It was the 11th most active stock on Bursa Malaysia with 26.4 million shares traded. Year to date, the stock has fallen nearly 26%. Revenue for Q2 fell 16% year-on-year to RM6.4 billion, impacted by lower sales volumes and product prices, reduced revenue from joint operations and the ringgit's appreciation against the US dollar. For the first six months of FY2025, the Petronas Group's chemical arm posted a cumulative net loss of RM1.1 billion from a net profit of RM1.45 billion in the same period last year. Revenue for the first half fell 7.4% to RM14.09 billion from RM15.23 billion last year. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) fell 56% to RM395 million, mainly due to weaker product spreads and reduced contribution from Pengerang Petrochemical Company Sdn Bhd (PPCSB). Forex losses widened to RM446 million from RM62 million a year earlier, largely due to the unrealised forex impact from the revaluation of shareholder loans to PPCSB. The group also recognised RM431 million in impairment losses on property, plant and equipment within its specialities segment, primarily at its Swedish unit Perstorp, which it acquired for RM7.31 billion in 2022. PCG's plant utilisation rate dropped to 77% from 94% in the previous quarter, as feedstock supply disruptions and repair and maintenance works impacted production. Among the affected facilities was PC Fertiliser Kedah, which faced feedstock shortages due to the gas pipeline incident at Putra Heights, which was fully resolved as of June 2025. Strategic portfolio review The disappointing results has prompted the group to intensify its business review, cut costs and resize its workforce. In a statement, the company also said it was reassessing investments in joint ventures and associates. Mazuin Ismail. Managing director and CEO Mazuin Ismail said in light of the increasingly dynamic market environment, PCG is undertaking a 'strategic portfolio review across our entire value chain'. 'Although we faced market and operational challenges during the quarter, our financial position remains robust. 'Furthermore, our value creation and cost optimisation initiatives have led to more than RM200 million in improvement in Ebitda on a year-to-date basis. This has enabled us to declare an interim dividend of RM240 million,' he said in a statement. The group declared a first interim dividend of three sen per share, down from 10 sen in the same quarter last year, payable in September.
