KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 29): Malaysia’s ringgit extended losses as this month’s worst-performing Asian currency on concern a protracted drop in crude will weigh on the oil-exporting nation.
The currency declined for a second day and reached a new 2009 low after Brent slid 2.3 percent overnight on a report showing U.S. oil stockpiles climbed to the highest level in weekly data going back to 1982. Malaysia kept borrowing costs at 3.25 percent Wednesday even as central banks around the world eased monetary policy amid slowing global growth and falling consumer prices. The nation’s 10-year government bond yields headed for the biggest monthly decline since 2008.
“The ringgit is weakening on concern crude oil will fall further after the U.S. record inventory report,” said Nizam Idris, Singapore-based head of foreign-exchange and fixed-income strategy at Macquarie Bank Ltd. “There is also growing pressure on central banks to ease monetary policy and Malaysia is probably doing so via weakening the currency.”
The ringgit fell 0.4 percent to 3.6340 a dollar as of 10:08 a.m. in Kuala Lumpur, adding to yesterday’s 0.6 percent loss, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The currency earlier touched 3.6375, the weakest level since April 2009.
ING Groep NV cut its year-end forecast for the ringgit to 3.78 a dollar from 3.68, after Singapore’s central bank unexpectedly eased policy yesterday via its currency band.
Bank Negara Malaysia’s decision to hold the benchmark rate was predicted by all 19 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. The policy stance is accommodative and appropriate given the developments in monetary and financial conditions, the central bank said in a statement Wednesday.
Prime Minister Najib Razak last week reduced the country’s 2015 growth forecast to 4.5 percent to 5.5 percent from as much as 6 percent earlier due to the drop in oil.
The yield on the nation’s 10-year sovereign bonds was little changed at 3.86 percent after yesterday dropping six basis points, or 0.06 percentage point, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The yield has fallen 29 basis points this month, the most for a benchmark of that maturity since December 2008.

KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 29): RHB Research has downgraded Yinson Holdings Bhd ( Financial Dashboard) to “Neutral” with a lower target price of RM3.05 (from RM3.19) after Yinson received the green light to develop a US$2.5 billion, 15-year FPSO contract for the OCTP project, off Ghana.
In a note today, the research house said the FPSO would triple firm orderbook to US$3.5 billion, boosting the overall firm contract period and track record.
“However, we envision limited upside and anticipate profit-taking upon contract win.
“It will take three years for material earnings contribution,” it said.

KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 27): Asia Bioenergy Technologies Bhd ( Financial Dashboard) is venturing into oil and gas (O&G) transportation under a planned all-share acquisition of a new company for RM168 million.
Asia Bioenergy (fundamental: 1.2; valuation: 0) had today entered into a heads of agreement (HOA) with Reachmont Logistics Sdn Bhd (RLSB) and Singapore-based Hoe Leong Corp Ltd (HLCL) to facilitate the acquisition of O&G transportation providers Semua Shipping Sdn Bhd (SSSB) and Semado Maritime Sdn Bhd (SMSB).

KUALA LUMPUR: Tropicana Corp Bhd ( Financial Dashboard)’s proposed sale of Tropicana City Mall to CapitaMalls Malaysia Trust (CMMT) for RM540 million, will see the former’s net gearing lowered from 0.72 times as at Sept 30, 2014 to 0.52 times. Both parties announced the deal yesterday.
CMMT said Amtrustee Bhd had on its behalf entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement with Tropicana City Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tropicana (fundamental: 1.3; valuation: 3.0), for the acquisition of Tropicana City Mall.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, CMMT (fundamental: 1.8; valuation: 0.5) said the four-storey mall, together with the 12-storey Tropicana City Office Tower, will be acquired for a total purchase consideration of RM540 million, in cash.
The real estate investment trust (REIT) said the residential tower of Tropicana City, the Tropics, is not part of the proposed acquisition.
“The proposed acquisition of Tropicana City Mall will strengthen CMMT’s portfolio as it is an established family lifestyle mall that has proven to be a popular destination among the surrounding residents, thanks to its variety of local and international retailers,” said Low Peck Chen, chief executive officer of CMMT’s manager CapitaMalls Malaysia REIT Management Sdn Bhd (CMRM).
CMMT intends to finance the acquisition through debt and/or equity fundraising via the issuing of new units, with the proportion of the financing to be determined later.
“This proposed acquisition will thus further expand CMMT’s portfolio in terms of both income and geographical spread, and enable CMMT to continue to deliver stable returns to our unitholders,” said CMRM chairman David Wong Chin Huat.
The acquisition is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2015.
Tropicana, meanwhile, said the disposal of the mall will positively impact its earnings and balance sheet.
“Upon completion, Tropicana group’s borrowings would be reduced to RM1.95 billion, from RM2.41 billion as at Sept 30, 2014, hence reducing the group’s net gearing to 0.52 times from 0.72 times.
“Tropicana is expected to recognise a fair value gain of RM13.1 million for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2014, with an additional gain on disposal of RM13.5 million to be recognised in the financial year ending Dec 31, 2015,” said the group.
CMMT was initially looking into the purchase of the mall two years ago, at a purchase consideration of between RM550 million and RM650 million, as reported by The Edge Financial Daily in Aug 2013.
