Ringgit holds steady against greenback on strong trade data
KUALA LUMPUR : The ringgit appreciated against major currencies and held firm versus the US dollar at the close today as Malaysia posted a stronger trade performance, returning to positive growth in July. According to the investment, trade and industry ministry (Miti), the country's trade performance rebounded by 3.8% year-on-year to RM265.92 billion in July, the highest monthly trade value ever. Miti said exports in July jumped 6.8% to RM140.45 billion, the highest monthly value since September 2022, while imports edged up by 0.6% to RM125.47 billion. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Afzanizam Rashid said the latest export print suggests Malaysia's external sector is still 'fairly decent' despite having to contend with US tariffs. 'Hence, the case for a strong ringgit going forward remains intact,' he told Bernama. Meanwhile, he said market players will monitor the US Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting at the Jackson Hole symposium later this week, with chair Jerome Powell's speech this Friday in focus. 'Traders and investors appear to lean towards a possible 25 basis points cut in September as signs of a weaker US labour market have become increasingly apparent. 'Hence, a dovish tilt by the Fed is something that the market wants to hear. Therefore, any deviation from this view could have an impact on the currency market trajectory,' he added. At 6pm, the local currency made a marginal retreat to 4.2215/4.2255 against the greenback from yesterday's close of 4.2200/4.2240. At the close, the ringgit settled mostly higher against a basket of major currencies. It strengthened versus the Japanese yen to 2.8572/2.8601 from yesterday's close of 2.8632/2.8661, gained against the British pound to 5.7066/5.7120 from 5.7139/5.7193, but dropped vis-à-vis the euro to 4.9307/4.9354 from 4.9290/4.9336. The ringgit traded higher against other Asean currencies. It gained against the Singapore dollar to 3.2901/3.2935 from 3.2902/3.2936 at yesterday's close and strengthened against the Thai baht to 12.9848/13.0027 from 12.9942/13.0121. The ringgit also gained vis-à-vis the Philippine peso at 7.39/7.40 from 7.40/7.42 previously and edged up against the Indonesian rupiah to 259.8/260.2 from 260.4/260.9.

Xiaomi's second-quarter revenue up 30.5pct, boosted by smartphones
BEIJING: A rise in sales of smartphones, especially in Southeast Asia, helped to boost Xiaomi's second-quarter revenue by 30.5 per cent, the smartphone and electric vehicle (EV) company said on Tuesday. Revenue for the quarter ended June 30 was 116 billion yuan (US$16.16 billion), beating the 114.7 billion yuan average of 15 analyst estimates compiled by LSEG. Adjusted net profit rose 75.4 per cent year-on-year to 10.8 billion yuan, exceeding the average estimate of 10.1 billion yuan, according to LSEG data. The world's third-largest smartphone maker became the bestselling smartphone brand in Southeast Asia in the second quarter and took second place by shipments in Europe, it said. Its EV business, meanwhile, generated 20.6 billion yuan in revenue during the second quarter, up from 18.1 billion during the first quarter. It delivered 81,302 EVs in the June quarter, compared with deliveries of 75,869 SU7 cars in January-March. Its second EV model YU7 was launched in late June, with the deliveries only beginning last month, meaning it has yet to be reflected in results. Its EV, AI and other new initiatives reported a total net loss of 0.3 billion yuan in the June quarter, narrowing from a loss of 0.5 billion in the first quarter. Hong Kong-listed shares in Xiaomi, which also makes home appliances, closed down 1.2 per cent at 52.4 Hong Kong dollars. The stock has risen 52 per cent so far this year.
