In a widely expected move, the BOJ maintained its short-term interest rate target at minus 0.1 percent and a pledge to guide 10-year government bond yields around zero percent. The BOJ also said “inflation expectations have moved sideways recently,” offering a slightly more upbeat view than three months ago when it said they were on a weak note.

Of the 68 companies in the benchmark index that have posted results, 76.5 percent have topped Wall Street expectations.

  9. 24-Jan-18 N e w s I n B r i e f Economy Asia Malaysia Wants to Keep Top Investment Credit Rating Band : PM Malaysia wants to maintain its fiscal health to ensure its sovereign credit rating remains within the "A" band, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said. "It is essential to keeping down our deficit; to keeping government debt below our self-imposed level to 55% of GDP (Gross Domestic Product)," Najib said at Invest Malaysia 2018 conference. He added that if the country's ratings were downgraded, lending costs for all, including business and individuals seeking loans, would increase. "All would suffer," Najib said, adding that the Goods and Services Tax (GST) had shielded Malaysia from the economic setbacks. He said the GST, together with the decision to reduce reliance on oil and gas revenue, was difficult but necessary and far-sighted. "It was not popular, but it was the right thing to do. There is a reason that over 160 countries around the world implement a similar tax, and that is to ensure a wide enough tax base, one that can withstand fluctuations in the global economy," he explained. Najib noted that other countries had followed suit, such as India – as well as two of the richest countries in the world, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. "The fact that they have introduced their own versions should put the lie to the idea that we could just abolish or zero-rate GST. Never mind how we would replace the RM41 billion collected from GST last year," he added. (News Straits Times) PM: Investors Recognise Malaysia's Economic, Financial Fundamentals The stronger ringgit indicates positive sentiment among investors and a recognition of Malaysia’s excellent economic and financial fundamentals, says Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. The Prime Minister said the ringgit appreciated by 10.4% against the US dollar in 2017. On Jan 5, 2018, it closed at a 17-month high, breaking the four dollar psychological barrier. Delivering his keynote address at the Invest Malaysia, he said while one factor was also due to the recovery in crude oil prices, the stronger economic fundamentals speak for themselves. Malaysia, he said, has enjoyed years of strong growth – with figures that most developed economies could only dream of – even during times of global economic turmoil and uncertainty. Najib said investors and global institutions are right to have confidence in Malaysia. He cited the country's total trade grew strongly by 20.8% from January to November 2017 – while in that month alone, gross exports reached double-digit growth of 14.4%, with the highest receipts ever recorded, at RM83.5bil. In the meantime, PM said that Malaysia will never repeat the measure of re-pegging the ringgit as the move will be an unmitigated disaster for the economy and the prosperity of the people. “We have made it very clear that we would never repeat that measure, trusting that while there may be short-term fluctuations, in the longer term the level of the ringgit would reflect the strength of the Malaysian economy,” the Prime Minister said. (The Star) Government Measures to Help Sustain Soft Property Market The Malaysian property market is expected to remain soft in 2018 - but ongoing Government measures will continue to ensure it remains sustainable. Valuation and Property Services Department (JPPH) director-general Nordin Daharom said despite the sluggish property market currently, there are still various ongoing initiatives that will continue to support the housing sector. “Measures remain intact to ensure market sustainability. House prices will continue to record gradual growth. “Major infrastructure projects are catalyst for the property market,” he said during the 11th Malaysian Property Summit 2018 (11MPS). During his presentation, Nordin pointed out that transaction volumes in the nine months of 2017 slipped 4.3% to 229,529 compared with 239,916 in the previous corresponding period. However, in the same period, transaction volumes rose 6.7% to RM102.29bil in the first nine months of 2017 compared with RM95.85bil in the previous corresponding period. The 11MPS is co-organised by the Association of Valuers, Property Managers, Estate Agents and Property Consultants in the Private Sector Malaysia (PEPS) and JPPH. (The Star) Page 6 of 10
  10. 24-Jan-18 Japan ’s Central Bank Keeps Stimulus Unchanged, Maintains Inflation Outlook The Bank of Japan maintained its massive monetary stimulus program and kept its price and economic forecasts unchanged. In a small sign of progress, it said inflation expectations had stopped falling. The BOJ will keep its policy interest rates and asset purchases at current levels in its quest to hit 2% inflation, it said in a statement. Inflation expectations remain more or less unchanged, versus a previous assessment that they were weakening, it said, though risks to prices remain "skewed to the downside." The yen strengthened as the market reacted to the BOJ’s view of price expectations. It traded at 110.77 against the dollar as of 1:23 p.m. in Tokyo, versus around 110.90 prior to the BOJ’s release of its policy statement. The central bank forecast the economy to grow 1.4% in the fiscal year starting in April, with inflation of 1.4% over the same period. With the economy growing and inflation slowly but steadily rising, some investors have started to bet that the BOJ is nearing the point where it begins to normalize its ultra-loose monetary policy. The yen gained strength after the BOJ cut its bond purchases earlier this month. (Bloomberg) Fitch Says Will Cut China Local Government Ratings if Data Revisions are Major Fitch Ratings warned that it would take ratings action against Chinese local governments if revisions to their fiscal data were significant, after recent reports on fake economic data deepened concerns about governance and oversight. Local and regional governments in China have long been suspected of cooking up numbers. Blame is often put on ambitious local officials trying to brighten their career prospects by delivering stellar work reports. The agency's comments come after the autonomous region of Inner Mongolia earlier this month said its fiscal revenue for 2016 ought to be 26 percent, or 53 billion yuan ($8.3 billion), less than initially stated. Fitch reacted by downgrading its internal assessment of the creditworthiness of the northern Chinese region. It also cut the ratings on the senior unsecured bonds due 2020 issued by Inner Mongolia High-Grade Highway Construction and Development Co to BBB- from BBB, with a negative outlook. Local and regional governments globally do not have internationally accepted accounting policies. In China, Fitch relies on official fiscal data from provincial and local administrations, which are then approved by the local legislatures. Recent falsification by provincial governments may highlight shortcomings in the auditing process, particularly in terms of central government oversight, Fitch cautioned. (The Star) Philippine Economy Grows 6.7% in 2017 The Philippine economy grew 6.7% in 2017, remaining one of Asia's best performers despite a weaker business process outsourcing industry, the government announced. Government spending ensured the country remained one of Asia's fastest-growing major economies, behind only China and Vietnam, Economic Planning Secretary Ernesto Pernia told reporters. However he said last year's growth was slower than the 6.9% gross domestic product (GDP) rise in 2016, when consumer spending was boosted during elections that propelled President Rodrigo Duterte to power. But the 2017 figure was "a good performance", Pernia said, with China having reported 6.9% 2017 GDP growth last week and Vietnam achieving a 10-yearhigh expansion of 6.81% over the same period. The business processing outsourcing industry, worth $23 billion and employing 1.15 million people, was a "major contributing factor to this decline", Pernia said. (The Star) Singapore Inflation at 0.6% for 2017 Inflation remained mild in 2017 despite stronger economic growth with consumer prices finishing the year by edging up less than expected in December. For the whole of last year, consumer prices rose 0.6%, reversing two consecutive years of negative inflation, while core inflation - which strips out accommodation and private road transport costs - rose to 1.5% from 0.9% in 2016. The consumer price index - the main measure of inflation - edged up 0.4% in December compared with the same month a year earlier, according to Department of Statistics data released. This was below the preceding month's inflation rate of 0.6% and smaller than economists' estimates of a 0.5% rise. The was largely on account of lower private Page 7 of 10
  11. 24-Jan-18 road transport and services inflation , the Monetary Authority of Singapore and Ministry of Trade & Industry said in a joint release. Private road transport inflation slowed to 2.6% in December from 4.1% the month before. This was mainly due to the dissipation of base effects associated with the increase in parking fees in December 2016, as well as a smaller year-ago increase in petrol prices. Services inflation fell to 1.3% last month from 1.6% in November, largely reflecting a decline in airfares and holiday expenses, in addition to a smaller year-ago increase in telecommunication services fees. (The Straits Times) Australia's Consumer Confidence Weakens Australia's consumer confidence declined for the first time in four weeks during the week ended January 21, a weekly survey compiled by the ANZ bank and Roy Morgan Research showed. The consumer confidence index dropped to 119.4 from 123.5 in the preceding week. The current finances sub-index fell a sharp 9.1% to 104.7, partially unwinding gains over the previous three weeks. Views towards future finances fell 2.2%, following a 0.2% decline in the week prior. (RTT) United States TPP Members Reach Agreement on Major Trade Pact Negotiators from 11 Pacific Rim nations agreed Tuesday on a Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, the Japanese minister in charge of TPP said, a year after President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from the talks. The 11 nations were close to a deal at a summit in Vietnam in November but fell short at the last minute after Canada raised objections. Negotiators gathered again in Tokyo on Tuesday and cleared away the remaining sticking points, said Toshimitsu Motegi, the Japanese minister handling the talks. He said the 11 nations aim to sign the agreement on March 8 in Chile. Among Canada’s issues was its desire for an exemption that it said was needed to protect Canadian cultural products from the effects of free trade. Mr. Motegi said the parties agreed to exchange a side letter with Canada over the issue after the pact comes into effect. The nature of that letter wasn’t clear and Canadian officials couldn’t immediately be reached for comment. The TPP deal came just a half-day after the Trump administration slapped steep tariffs on imported solar panels and washing machines, a move to implement Mr. Trump’s harder line on trade that he has touted since his election campaign. Japan has depicted itself as a free-trade champion that can assume the kind of leadership role previously taken by U.S. administrations. “Now in some parts of the world, there is a move toward protectionism, and I think the TPP-11 is a major engine to overcome such a phenomenon,” Mr. Motegi said. He said the deal was “epoch-making for Japan as well as for the future of the Asia-Pacific region.” He also reiterated a hope frequently expressed by Japanese officials that once the 11-nation TPP is up and running, the U.S. might consider rejoining the deal. Vice President Mike Pence said on a visit to Tokyo last year that as far as the Trump administration is concerned, the TPP is a “thing of the past.” (The Wall Street Journal) Europe and Uni ted Kingdom U.K. Has Smallest December Deficit Since 2000 as VAT Hits Record Britain recorded its smallest budget deficit for any December in 17 years as value-added tax receipts reached a record and the Treasury received a bumper credit from the European Union. Net borrowing narrowed to 2.6 billion pounds ($3.6 billion), well below the median forecast of economists, from 5.1 billion pounds a year earlier, figures showed. It left the shortfall in the first nine months of 2017-18 at 50 billion pounds, 12% lower than a year earlier. The figures leave Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond on course to keep borrowing in 2017-18 to the 49.9 billion pounds forecast by his budget watchdog in November. But deficits are predicted to persist well into the next decade as a result of Brexit and poor productivity. The challenge facing Hammond was highlighted on Monday when the International Monetary Fund issued a downbeat assessment of U.K. growth prospects. Page 8 of 10
  12. 24-Jan-18 In December , Britain received a 1.2 billion-pound credit from the EU relating to amendments to the 2017 budget. It was the largest such payment in at least 20 years and reflected “adjusted member states’ contributions to reflect updated economic forecasts,” the Office for National Statistics said. VAT, a tax on sales, rose 4.9% from a year earlier to an all-time high of 12.3 billion pounds. The public finances were also aided by lower spending on welfare and departmental costs. (Bloomberg) EU Rebate Helps Reduce UK Public Sector Borrowing The EU helped reduce British government borrowing in December after strong growth in the Eurozone led to a rebate from the bloc. UK public sector net borrowing over the month fell to £2.6bn compared with £5.1bn in December 2016, according to the Office for National Statistics. This was far less than the £5bn expected by analysts and was the lowest level of December borrowing since the millennium. The decline was partly due to a credit of £1.2bn from the EU. The bloc’s budget has been recalculated to reflect new economic forecasts and lower spending, raising contributions from Eurozone countries and reducing the UK’s payments. EU budget contributions are partly based on an estimate of each country’s share of the bloc’s economic output. In November the European Commission downgraded its forecast for UK economic growth in 2017 while increasing its estimates for the euro area. Higher government tax receipts in the UK also contributed to the reduction in borrowing. Value added tax revenues reached their highest level on record in December while taxes on income and wealth were up 4% compared with the same month in 2016. (Financial Times) UK Manufacturing Activity Strengthens: CBI Growth in manufacturing output and domestic and export orders picked up in three months to January, the Industrial Trends survey data from the Confederation of British Industry showed. A net balance of 13% of manufacturers reported that they were more optimistic about the general business situation. Nearly 33% of firms said the volume of output over the past three months was up and 12% said it was down, giving a balance of +21%. The balance of domestic orders came in at 21 percent and that for export orders at 24%, both grew more than the previous quarter. Employment grew at the fastest pace since July 2014 over the last three months, with further growth expected next quarter. A net 20% reported an increase in employment. New orders growth is expected to slow moderately, as growth in domestic orders eases. At the same time, output is expected to grow at a similar pace next quarter. (RTT) German ZEW Economic Sentiment at 8-Month High Germany's economic confidence improved to an eight-month high and the assessment of current situation hit a record in January, indicating an optimistic outlook for the economy in the first half of the year. The ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment rose three points to 20.4 in January, survey results from the Mannheim-based think tank ZEW showed. The score exceeded the expected level of 17.7 and was the highest since May, when the reading was 20.6. Nonetheless, the score was below its long-term average of 23.7. The assessment of the current economic situation increased in January, with the corresponding index climbing 5.9 points to 95.2 points. The expected reading was 89.6. With 95.2 out of 100 points, this is the most positive assessment of the current economic situation since the introduction of the survey in December 1991, ZEW President Achim Wambach, said. Wambach noted that private consumption, which was the most important driver of economic growth in 2017, is likely to continue to stimulate growth in the coming six months according to the survey participants.

  16. SECTOR UPDATE Wednesday , January 24, 2018 FBMKLCI: 1,838.04 THIS REPORT IS STRICTLY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY* Underweight Automotive Sector (Maintained) 2 n d Year of Decline Abel Goon Tel: +603-2072 1277 ext. 1641 abelgoon@ta.com.my www.taonline.com.my Aggressive Marketing Boosts TIV Total Industry Volume (TIV) in December came in way below expectations at 54.7k units (MoM: +11.3%, YoY: -15.6%). The MoM recovery was mainly due to aggressive marketing campaigns as marques cleared inventories ahead of the new year. Mazda (MoM: -29.6%, YoY: +17.9%) bucked the monthly recovery trend in spite of the all-new CX-5 launch. We believe this may be due to the long waiting period for the CX-5, which lead to cancellations. Meanwhile, MAA attributed the YoY decline in vehicles sales to floods in certain states in Peninsular Malaysia, coupled with an early start in excessive offers in 2017. YTD TIV of 576.6k units (-0.6%) fell short of expectations at 98.3% and 97.7% of ours and MAA’s forecast respectively. Looking ahead, we expect TIV in January and February to fall, in-line with the seasonal trend. Commercial Vehicles Decline, Passenger Vehicles Flat YTD, commercial vehicles’ decline of 5.4% was the main reason for TIV decline of 0.6% in 2017. The decline was mainly due to higher USD/MYR rate which caused many businesses to delay vehicle purchases. On the other hand, passenger vehicles registered flat TIV despite the launch of various highly anticipated models, which include 1) 3rd Gen Perodua Myvi, 2) Mazda CX-5, 3) Honda CR-V, and 4) Proton Iriz and aggressive marketing campaigns. That said, we note that Honda (actual: 109.5k units, forecast: 100k units) and Perodua (actual: 204.8k units, forecast: 202k units) managed to beat 2017 sales targets. All in, we believe the main dampener is still stringent HP loan requirements coupled with high household debt. Furthermore, we believe government policy is more focused on house purchases as opposed to vehicle purchases. Thus, we would not expect huge growth in TIV going forward. MAA Lowers Forecast Despite the launch of the all-new Perodua Myvi in November, MAA reduced its 2018 TIV forecast to 590k units (+2.3% YoY) from 619k units (+4.9% YoY) previously. Its forecast is boosted by 1) strong expected GDP growth of 5.0%-5.5% and 2) aggressive promotional campaigns but dampened by 1) continuation of strict lending guidelines for HP loans, 2) possible OPR hike and 3) ride-hailing services increasing in popularity. It also reduced 20192021 forecasts to 601.8k/614.7k/628.3k units from 650.5k/663.5k/677.5k units. Besides that, it introduced 2022 TIV forecast of 642.7k units. In-line with the lower than expected 2017 TIV, we revise downwards our 2018 TIV forecast to 591k units (+1.9%) as we include Perodua’s sales forecast of 209k units and assume a more moderate growth for Honda vehicles given the exceptional sales in 2017. Maintain Underweight We maintain our Underweight stance on the industry. Our forecast reflects a slight recovery in TIV as we anticipate consumer sentiment to gradually improve in 2018. Furthermore, new models, such as the Toyota CH-R and the 3rd Gen Myvi, will excite the market. On the other hand, TIV growth will be partially dampened by sustained stringent HP loan requirements. We maintain Buy on Pecca with higher TP of RM1.86 based on higher 16x CY18 PER (previous: 14.5x) which is in-line with its historical mean (Figure 18) and still a 20% discount to its peer Interhides PCL. BAuto is rated as Buy with TP of RM2.50 due to handsome dividends and earnings growth from CX-5 launch. Meanwhile, Sime Darby and UMW are rated as Sell with TP of RM1.97 and RM4.37 respectively whilst we place MBM Under Review. Page 1 of 6
