Plantations - Seasonally-lower supply & weak Ringgit boosted CPO prices

Malaysian palm oil inventories rose 4% mom to a 19-month high of 2.17m tonnes in Oct, 1% above our and consensus projections. We view this as a neutral event as the stock level remains manageable. We expect short-term CPO prices to remain range-bound. The key positive price drivers are seasonally-lower palm oil output in the coming months, the increase in Malaysia's biodiesel mandate from 5% to 7% in Nov and upcoming festival restocking activities. However, this is offset by bumper soybean supplies in the US and weak crude oil prices that lower CPO biodiesel breakeven support. Our Neutral stance and top picks, First Resources, AALI and SIMP, are intact.

Global Economic News

The US economy faces a risk that long-term interest rates may be higher than forecast because policy makers may be mistakenly linking the outlook with a reduction in the long-term trend for growth, according to a paper by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.

“Both monetary and fiscal policy projections have been based on the view that declines in the long-run potential growth rate of the economy will in turn push down interest rates,” the paper stated.

“In contrast, examination of private-sector professional forecasts and historical data provides little evidence of such a linkage,” they wrote. “This suggests a greater risk that future interest rates may be higher than expected.” (Bloomberg)

US Boston Federal Reserve bank President Eric Rosengren said the rise of the dollar against currencies like the yen and euro reflects the strength of the US economy and doesn't indicate a currency war is developing.

"Various economies are in very different positions," he said, noting that the US economy was likely to grow "closer to 3%" while Europe's economy was not doing nearly as well. (Reuters)

European Central Bank (ECB) Executive Board member Yves Mersch said policy makers will be ready to buy asset-backed securities (ABS) next week as part of a stimulus plan.

The ECB’s package of measures includes “a purchase program, which we started with covered bonds a few weeks ago and which we will continue in one week” with asset-backed securities, he said. They will help “to guarantee price stability in the euro area,” he added. (Bloomberg)

China’s producer-price index (PPI) dropped 2.2% yoy in Oct (-1.8% yoy in Sep). Consumer prices (CPI) rose 1.6% yoy in Oct, unchanged from the prior month. (Bloomberg)

China’s President Xi Jinping said outbound investment will total US$1.25tr over the next 10 years, 500 million Chinese tourists will go abroad, and the government will spend US$40bn to revive the ancient Silk Road trade route between Asia and Europe, as he outlined how much the world stands to gain from a rising China.

“China’s development will generate huge opportunities and benefits and hold lasting and infinite promise,” he said. (Bloomberg)

China and South Korea concluded talks for a free trade pact that will boost shipments between the countries.

China will immediately eliminate duties on US$8.7bn worth of annual trade when the agreement goes into force, and end duties on US$45.8bn of Korean exports over 10 years, Korea’s trade ministry said.

Korea will maintain import tariffs on 60% of agriculture and fisheries imports from China.

Bilateral trade with China will increase to US$300bn by 2015 from US$229bn in 2013, Korea’s trade ministry said. (Bloomberg)

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe held their first face-to-face discussions since both took power two years ago, a potential thaw in the relationship that has been frozen and veered close to open conflict in the past two years.

Speaking to reporters shortly after the meeting, Abe said, "I believe Japan and China took the first step toward improving our relationship as we go back to the principle of mutually beneficial strategic relations." (WSJ)

Malaysian Economic News

China and Malaysia have agreed to set up a clearing bank on Renminbi (RMB)-Ringgit business deals in Kuala Lumpur, a pact that will bolster the latter's position as a gateway for RMB flows in Southeast Asia. In essence, the clearing bank will mean reduced cost and ease of doing business between the two countries as payments can be made in RMB, and thus doing away with the current need to convert payments into the US dollar first.

Bank of China, China's fourth-biggest lender, is to be appointed the yuan clearing bank in Malaysia, two sources with knowledge of the matter said on Monday, following a deal signed between the two countries' central banks. (NST/Reuters)

China is keen to help build a Malaysia-Singapore high-speed rail link and also to get involved in Chilean and Australian railway and port projects, state media and the government cited Premier Li Keqiang as saying today. The interest, expressed at meetings with the leaders of Malaysia, Chile and Australia on the sidelines of a gathering of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation leaders, comes amid growing efforts by China to export its rail technology and take part in overseas projects.

Li told Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak was willing to “actively participate” in the Singapore-Malaysia high-speed rail, the official Xinhua news agency reported. It did not provide details. (Malay Mail)

Government ministries’ performance in financial management for 2013 were the best in four years, said the Auditor-General’s report. The third series of the 2013 report, released today, found that 23 of the 24 ministries were rated as excellent in 2013 as compared to 22 ministries in 2012, 19 in 2011, and 17 in 2010. In 2009, the report said, just 10 ministries held the ‘excellent’ rating. However, the national audit found that the financial performance for federal departments had not been as encouraging.

In 2013, just 21 (46.7%) of 45 departments were rated as excellent in 2013, a drop in percentage compared to 21 (53.9%) out of 39 departments in 2012, and 21 (50%) out of 42 departments in 2011.

The report recommended for controlling officers and departments to rectify weaknesses highlighted by the audit, and conduct a comprehensive check to determine whether the weaknesses occurred in other areas.

“Secretary-generals and heads of department should chair every exit conference together with the officers from the National Audit Department so that they could know audit issues beforehand and urgently take positive actions apart from making improvements,” the report said.

It also called for regular updates on asset records to be carried out by the ministries and departments, in preparation for the federal government’s move towards accrual accounting next year. (NST)

The overall expenditure performance of the Research and Development (R&D) Programme under the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) between 2011 and 2013 was less satisfactory, the Auditor-General's Report 2013 Series 3 revealed. It was based on the fact that the actual expenditure recorded for the programme was RM199.63m (56.1%) compared to the approved allocation of RM355.95m.

According to the report, which was tabled at the Dewan Rakyat Monday, the audit analysis found that the expenditure percentage for the year 2011 reached 99.7%, while for the year 2012, it reached 99%. For 2013, the expenditure percentage only reached up to 80.6%, after the Inno Fund recorded expenditure percentage of 14% or RM3.50m from the overall allocation of RM25m, hence resulting in the overall expenditure performance in 2013 to be slightly lower than 2011 and 2012. (Bernama)

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said its government would support the construction of the China-Malaysia Qinzhou Industrial Park (QIP) and Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park (MCKIP) and continue encouraging the Chinese enterprises to invest in Malaysia. When meeting Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak here, Monday, Li also expressed China's willingness to actively participate in the railway construction in Malaysia. He said this at a bilateral meeting with the Malaysian delegation at the Great Hall of the People in conjunction with the 2014 Apec (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) Economic Leaders' Meeting here. (Bernama)

Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem on Monday tabled a RM6.36bn budget for 2015, where RM4.55bn or 71% has been proposed for development and RM1.81bn as operating expenditure. Adenan, who is also the State Finance Minister, said the expenditure is expected to generate a fairly high level of economic activities to sustain the state's economic growth and ultimately narrow the overall development gap between it and the Peninsular. "More than 50% of the development allocation in the proposed budget is for the implementation of programmes and projects in the rural areas," he added. (Bernama)

Significant progress in recent months is expected to bring the landmark Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations to conclusion. The leaders of 12 countries involved in the TPP talks said negotiations have narrowed the remaining gaps on the legal text of the agreement.

The Malaysian government plans to roll out a new sharia-compliant investment platform next year, aiming to broaden the traditional role of Islamic banks from credit provider to investment intermediary. The government is backing the Investment Account Platform (IAP) with an initial start-up fund of 150m ringgit ($45m), intending that the IAP will serve as a central marketplace to finance small and medium-sized businesses.

Under the scheme, announced as part of the 2015 budget, Islamic banks would vet businesses seeking funds, provide a secondary market for investors and in some cases underwrite the equity transactions. "This initiative will open new kinds of activities revolving around investment intermediation within the Islamic financial market," said Badlisyah Abdul Ghani, chief executive of CIMB Islamic, a unit of CIMB Group Holdings Bhd.

Malaysia has the potentials to lead a think tank initiative under the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), said Federation of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Chambers Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Secretary-General, Abderrahim Hassan Naqi. He said Malaysia has the experience and economic stability to lead the think tank.

"The opportunities are quite huge for Islamic (Muslim) countries to tap into because we have many resources such as oil, gas and mining but we are hindered by politics," he told reporters at the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation Round Table Talk. He said cooperation among Islamic countries is still below expectation and they need to cooperate more to achieve unity. (Bernama)

Political News

Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang is being persuaded by his peers in PAS to resign as party president, sources say, to prevent his health and relationship with other Pakatan Rakyat leaders from becoming worse. This is so that the Islamist party can repair ties with Pakatan partners that have been strained lately by Haid's cold attitude towards the coalition. A veteran PAS leader said Hadi's temperament has changed since his hospitalisation in Istanbul, Turkey, in May, where he was admitted after complaining of breathing difficulties. (Financial Daily)

The renminbi clearing bank to be set up in Malaysia is a recognition of the country’s role as a key renminbi offshore centre among emerging economies in Asia. Local banks welcomed the initiative, saying it would boost trade finance and remittance businesses between Malaysia and China. Financial cooperation between the two countries has accelerated on the back of growing bilateral trade, which has expanded by more than tenfold since 2000. Malaysia is China’s largest trading partner in Asean and trade between both countries exceeded US$100bn (RM333bn) last year. (BT)

Fitch Ratings says in a special report released that competition in the Malaysian telecom industry will remain intense in 2015, particularly among mobile operators, which could lead to their average operating EBITDA margin narrowing by 1pp-1.5pp. However, competition will not be as fierce in the fixed-line and broadband sector, which we expect to be dominated by Telekom Malaysia Berhad in the medium term. Average industry revenue will increase by 3%-5% in 2015 driven by strong growth in broadband and mobile data services. (StarBiz, Reuters)
