Bursa Malaysia expected to rise towards 1,590 level next week
KUALA LUMPUR — Bursa Malaysia is expected to rise next week towards the 1,590 resistance level, contingent on supportive global risk sentiment and incremental clarity over semiconductor tariff trajectories, said an analyst. UOB Kay Hian Wealth Advisors Sdn Bhd head of investment research Mohd Sedek Jantan said that given the weekend timing of the meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Malaysia's equity market will absorb any geopolitical repricing effects when trading resumes next week. 'Domestically, the investment narrative will be shaped by further disclosures on the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) project allocations, while the approach of Budget 2026 — now under two months away — will heighten focus on stakeholder engagement sessions as potential precursors to fiscal policy direction ahead of the Prime Minister's parliamentary tabling,' he told Bernama. On the inflation front, Mohd Sedek said Malaysia's July Consumer Price Index (CPI), due for release on Friday, Aug 22, will offer the first high-frequency read on the pass-through impact of the broadened Sales and Service Tax (SST) regime. 'We project headline CPI at 1.2 to 1.3 per cent year-on-year, up from 1.1 per cent in June, with core inflation expected to remain contained,' he said. Globally, Mohd Sedek said, investor attention is set to converge on Wednesday's release of the Federal Open Market Committee minutes and the Jackson Hole Symposium (Aug 21-23) — both considered potential catalysts for repricing policy-rate expectations if a pivot narrative gains momentum. 'Pre-Jackson Hole signalling from Washington has intensified, with the Trump administration adopting a more assertive communications posture than the Federal Reserve's (Fed) measured, data-dependent stance. 'Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has escalated his call from a 50-basis-point cut to a cumulative 150-basis-point reduction, amplifying political pressure on the Fed. 'This shift, combined with personnel changes at the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the nomination of dovish candidates to the Federal Reserve Board, reflects a coordinated strategy to influence Fed chair Jerome Powell's policy trajectory,' he said. He added that any eventual dovish recalibration could be positioned domestically as both a political and macroeconomic victory, reinforcing the administration's narrative of executive influence over monetary normalisation. On a weekly basis, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI rose 19.36 points to 1,576.34 on Friday from 1,556.98 a week earlier. The FBM Emas Index gained 129.27 points to 11,731.06, the FBMT 100 Index climbed 132.95 points to 11,512.86, the FBM Emas Shariah Index added 20.67 points to 11,654.85, the FBM 70 Index improved 155.15 points to 16,660.68, and the FBM ACE Index advanced 106.57 points to 4,713.45. By sector, the Financial Services Index rose 499.25 points to 18,080.07, the Plantation Index increased 77.91 points to 7,504.03, and the Energy Index went up 4.11 points to 740.83.

Felda secures 94.97% of FGV shares, triggers delisting from Bursa Malaysia
FGV Holdings Bhd is set to exit Bursa Malaysia after the Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) successfully acquired nearly 95% of the company's shares through its voluntary privatisation offer, which closed today. The total stake acquired by Felda and parties acting in concert (PACs) amounts to 3.46 billion shares, surpassing the 90% threshold required to trigger delisting. The takeover, launched on May 26 2025, offered RM1.30 per share, the same price as Felda's previous 2020 bid. This is below the independent valuation range of RM1.83 to RM1.99 per share. Felda Asset Holdings Company Sdn Bhd, a Felda subsidiary, led the offer with support from the Pahang state government, Felda management via Koperasi Kakitangan Felda Malaysia Bhd (Felkop), and individuals including Sulong Jamil Mohamed Shariff and his spouse Salina Samsudin. Following the closing, Bursa Malaysia will suspend trading five market days later, after which FGV will be formally delisted. Shareholders who did not participate in the offer can require Felda to acquire their shares under the same terms, with at least three months to exercise this right. FGV's listing in 2012 raised RM10.5 billion, one of the year's largest global IPOs. However, the company struggled in later years due to underperforming acquisitions and low public shareholding, which fell below 25% in 2021. With Felda now in full control, the authority plans to restructure FGV and prioritise the interests of its settlers, marking a new chapter for the plantation group. –TMR
