FRANKFURT: The European Central Bank (ECB) said Tuesday it had exchanged part of its US dollar reserves for Chinese yuan for the first time, in a sign of the growing global importance of Beijing’s currency.

The Frankfurt institution “completed an investment equivalent to 500 million euros (RM2.4bil) of the ECB’s foreign reserves in Chinese renminbi (CNY) during the first half of 2017,” it said in a statement.

Justifying its decision, the ECB said that “the use of CNY as a global international currency has increased in recent years,” being declared a freely-usable currency by the IMF in 2015.

”The ECB’s investment also reflects the importance of China as one of the euro area’s largest trading partners,” it added.

Its purchase of the Chinese cash was paid for with “a small portion of its US dollar holdings, which remain the largest portfolio,” it added.

The ECB’s foreign reserves, held in US dollars, Japanese yen, Chinese renminbi, and International Monetary Fund Special Drawing Rights (SDRs), remained at the same overall size.

Figures released last month showed that the ECB’s official reserves stood at over 68 billion euros at the end of April, including 47.7 billion euros in foreign currencies and 18.8 billion euros in gold.

The ECB only publishes figures on its holdings of individual currencies in its annual report at the end of each year.

In December 2016, the central bank held US$46.8bil in US dollars (41.7 billion euros), and 1.1 trillion Japanese yen (8.8 billion euros). - AFP

U.S. dollar drops to session low as inflation falls, political uncertainty rises
By Ryan Vlastelica

The U.S. dollar turned lower against its major rivals on Wednesday, erasing an earlier gain as data came in below expectations and uncertainty rose following a shooting in Virginia that injured a Congressman. The U.S. dollar index DXY, -0.06% which measures the currency against a half-dozen rivals, fell 0.3% on the day to 96.69. Earlier, it had risen as high as 97.11. In the latest economic data, the consumer price index fell by a seasonally adjusted 0.1% in May. The rate of inflation over the past 12 months slowed to 1.9% in May from a five-year high of 2.7% just four months ago. Separately, May retail sales fell 0.3%, their biggest drop in 16 months. Among major currency trades, the euro EURUSD, +0.0178% was at $1.1261 from $1.1207 late Tuesday, while the dollar traded at ¥109.43 from ¥110.04, a move of 0.6%.

KUALA LUMPUR: Two Malaysian banks - Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) and Affin Bank Bhd - were honoured at The Asian Banker Risk Management Awards and Risk Technology Implementation Awards 2017 held in Singapore earlier this month.

Maybank bagged the Achievement in Risk Management Award while Affin netted Liquidity Risk Technology Implementation of the Year.

In a statement on Tuesday, Affin Bank said it was able to improve its operational efficiency, reporting capabilities, and risk analysis, and achieve its overall objective of improved risk management and business decision-making, by implementing Moody’s Analytics solutions.

“The implementation of these solutions has further strengthened Affin’s risk management capabilities, in line with the recently launched Affinity — a strategic transformation programme of the group,” said Affin Bank managing director and chief executive officer Kamarul Ariffin Mohd Jamil.

“With the ability to perform more frequent and more granular data analytics, we are in a better position to monitor and manage our risk exposures in accordance with our risk appetite, and to institute early corrective action when required.”

The US Dollar continued to slide against the Japanese Yen Thursday despite a lack of obvious catalysts and, indeed, a rather “dovish” speech form the Bank of Japan’s Deputy Governor Kikuo Iwata.

There was nothing new in his comments to business leaders. He reminded them, as if they needed it, that the inflation outlook remains skewed to the downside and that, in his view, the BoJ must carry on with its “powerful” monetary easing. He noted that inflation remains low despite record corporate profits and a domestic labor market near full employment.

Consumer prices were rising at an annual 0.4% in Japan at last official look, clearly way below the 2% target, which hasn’t been neared since 2015.

Still, at the very least this sort of commentary underlines the fact that the central bank is nowhere near considering any exit from its extraordinary levels of monetary accommodation. It has been under pressure to explain how it would unwind some of its stimulus as the bonds bought in the name of that program have seen the BoJ’s balance sheet surpass the Gross Domestic Product of Japan.

Nevertheless USD/JPY faded further as the Asian session went along. The greenback made three-week highs on Tuesday but has retreated gradually since
