The Stoxx 600 slipped 0.8 percent to 326.08 at the close of trading. The measure is down 11

capital strength of lenders and dissipating faith in central-bank support. Stoxx 600 posted a 4.5
percent advance this week, its biggest in more than a year. (Bloomberg)

Core U.S. Consumer Prices Rise by Most in Over Four Years
The cost of living in the U.S. excluding food and fuel increased in January by the most in more
than four years, reflecting broad-based gains that signal companies may be getting some
pricing power. The so-called core consumer-price measure climbed 0.3 percent, more than
forecast and the most since August 2011, after a 0.2 percent gain the month before, a Labor
Department report showed Friday in Washington. Total prices were little changed, depressed by
the continued plunge in energy costs. In the 12 months ended January, the overall consumer
price measure increased 1.4 percent after a 0.7 percent increase in the prior period.

Malaysian 2016 private debt security issuance seen at RM75b-85b
Malaysia's private debt securities (PDS) or bond issuance is seen hovering between RM75 billion
and RM85 billion this year, supported by potential government infrastructure and construction
projects. RAM Rating Services Bhd said its 2016 projection was similar to its 2015 forecast. In
2015, RAM said PDS issuance stood at RM85.9 billion. In Jan 2016, RM2.1 billion worth of PDS
were issued. "Gross issuance of government securities, meanwhile, is expected to sum up to
RM90 billion–RM100 billion," RAM said. According to RAM, its 2016 forecast for the Malaysian
private and government bond markets comes amid global economic and market uncertainty.
RAM said the introduction of negative interest rates by the European Union and Japan might
prompt more foreign capital inflows into emerging markets in the coming months. (The Edge)

Malaysia concerned about France's palm oil tax hike
The Malaysian government said it was concerned about France's proposal to raise palm oil tax,
and that talks would continue with French stakeholders on the matter. Malaysia's Ministry of
Plantation Industries and Commodities said French policy makers plan to raise the domestic tax
on palm oil and palm kernel oil to €300 a tonne next year (2017) before upping it further to €900
by 2020. "The amendments were premised on the allegation that the palm oil industry
contributes to deforestation and the disappearance of the eco systems, as well as health effects
of palm oil consumption. "Malaysia being a major producer and exporter globally of palm oil
products would like to reiterate that the palm oil industry in Malaysia subscribes to sustainable
practices, including good agricultural practices and palm oil is a nutritional oil," the ministry
said. (The Edge)
Corporate News
Zelan
Slips into loss in 4Q on lower gross margin, higher fees
Zelan Bhd reported a net loss of RM18.53 million in the fourth financial quarter ended Dec 31,
2015 (4QFY15), compared with a net profit of RM12.57 million a year earlier. The engineering and
construction company said the reversal to its profitability was mainly due to lower gross profit
from local projects, as well as reversal of accretion of interest of RM4.2 million due to forfeiture
in cash flow from the International Islamic University Malaysia project and higher administrative
expenses. Other factors like professional fee by RM7.7 million, and lower unrealised foreign
exchange gain by RM5.3 million, also impacted its profitability. (The Edge)
PetDag
4Q net profit surges 206-fold; pays 20 sen dividend
Petronas Dagangan Bhd (PetDag) saw its net profit surge 206-fold to RM92.11 million or 9.3 sen
per share in the fourth quarter ended Dec 31, 2015 (4QFY15), from RM445,000 or 0.04 sen per
share a year ago, on higher margin contribution from the retail segment and higher other
income by RM47.6 million. The higher other income was mainly due to an accounting
reclassification from the goods and services tax (GST) implementation which has no profit
impact, as well as higher interest income. The Group also declared an interim dividend of 20 sen
per share for the quarter, payable on March 17. (The Edge)
Malakoff Corp
4Q net profit falls 5% on higher maintenance cost and lower forex gain
Malakoff Corp Bhd saw its net profit fall 5% to RM107.02 million or 2.14 sen per share in the
fourth quarter ended Dec 31, 2015 (4QFY15), from RM112.69 million or 3.15 sen per share a year
ago, on higher maintenance cost and lower foreign exchange gain. Malakoff attributed the lower
capacity factors registered by our coal fired and gas fired power plants and the scheduled
outages taken by certain power plants, as part of their maintenance cycles. (The Edge)
IOI Corp

million or 7.4 sen loss per share for the fourth quarter ended Dec 31, 2015 (4QFY15), from
RM511,000 or 0.5 sen a share a year ago, weighed down by lower tin prices and the depreciation
of the ringgit. MSC said its Butterworth international smelting business recorded a loss before
tax (LBT) of RM4.83 million, compared with a pre-tax profit (PBT) of RM8.6 million in 4QFY14,
due to an unfavourable valuation adjustment on tin inventory for the quarter under review.

share in the second financial quarter ended Dec 31, 2015 (2QFY16) from RM4.16 million or 2.25
sen per share a year ago, due mainly to higher contribution from its amusement and recreation
operations. OWG said its amusement and recreation operations and other services segment
posted pre-tax profit of RM2.9 million and RM776,158, compared with RM1.1 million and
RM177,458 a year ago, respectively. (The Edge)

SKP Resources
3Q net profit doubles

doubled to RM24.15 million, or 2.20 sen a share, from RM10.54 million, or 1.17 sen a share, a year
ago, due to higher revenue recorded from existing customers as well as contribution from newly
acquired subsidiaries. The acquisition of new subsidiaries would allow the group to leverage on
their additional production capacity and broaden the product mix to better tailor its services to
suit the demand of customers. (The Edge)

financial quarter ended Dec 31, 2015 (2QFY16), from RM18.15 million or 5.14 sen per share a year
ago, mainly due to higher recognition of lower profit margin projects, as well as cost savings in
the previous corresponding quarter. The property developer said it recorded cost savings from
Subang Parkhome I & II in 2QFY15. (The Edge)

Posts 4Q revenue of RM305m; proposes 2 sen dividend

which raised the total single-tier dividend declared for FY15 to seven sen per share. (Star

profile as the sole cement manufacturer in Sarawak. Backed by strong market position and
vertically integrated operations, the group’s cement business has been highly profitable,” it
said. RAM Ratings said CMSB’s somewhat diversified sources of income are also viewed
favourably, albeit mostly being related to the construction sector. (Star Business)

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 21.44 points, or 0.1 percent, to 16,391.99. About 7.6 billion shares traded hands on U.S. exchanges, 7 percent below the three-month average.

  • 2. SJ SECURITIES SDN BHD Other Market News European Market: Bank Declines Drag European Stocks Down From Two-Week High A slide in banking shares pulled European stocks from a two-week high, while investors assessed valuations and corporate earnings after the recent rally stalled amid falling oil prices. The Stoxx 600 slipped 0.8 percent to 326.08 at the close of trading. The measure is down 11 percent this year amid concerns ranging from global growth and the deepening oil slump, to the capital strength of lenders and dissipating faith in central-bank support. Stoxx 600 posted a 4.5 percent advance this week, its biggest in more than a year. (Bloomberg) Asian Market: Asian Stocks Decline After Biggest Weekly Rally in Four Years Most Asian stocks fell, after the biggest weekly rally in four years, as oil held declines and a stronger yen weighed on Japanese shares. About three shares dropped for each that rose on the MSCI Asia Pacific Index, which lost 0.1 percent to 119.50 as of 9:10 a.m. in Tokyo. Japan’s Topix index lost 0.7 percent. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 Index added 0.4 percent and South Korea’s Kospi index retreated 0.2 percent. New Zealand’s S&P/NZX 50 Index lost 0.4 percent. (Bloomberg) Commodity Market: Gold Posts Third Straight Gain on Slumping Equities, Crude Oil Gold futures had a third straight gain and a gauge of mining shares advanced to a seven-month high as declines in global equities and crude oil boosted demand for the metal as an alternative asset. Gold futures for April delivery gained 0.4 percent to settle at $1,230.80 an ounce at 1:40 p.m. on the Comex in New York. Silver futures slipped on the Comex in New York while palladium fell and platinum was unchanged on the New York Mercantile Exchange. (Bloomberg) Currency Market: Dollar Rises as Emerging Signs of Inflation Bolster Rate Outlook The dollar gained versus most of its major peers as an economic report showed U.S. inflation climbing, boosting the case for further interest-rate increases this year. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index, which tracks the greenback versus 10 peers, is poised for its first weekly gain in a month. It rose less than 0.1 percent as of 10:51 a.m. in New York. The U.S. currency was little changed at $1.1108 per euro. (Bloomberg) Energy Market: Oil Falls Below $30 as Rising U.S. Crude Stockpiles Expand Glut Oil dropped below $30 a barrel in New York after U.S. crude stockpiles rose to the highest level in more than eight decades. WTI for March delivery, which expires Monday, declined $1.13 to settle at $29.64 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent for April settlement fell $1.27, or 3.7 percent, to $33.01 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange. The European benchmark oil closed at a $1.26 premium to April WTI. (Bloomberg) Economic News Core U.S. Consumer Prices Rise by Most in Over Four Years The cost of living in the U.S. excluding food and fuel increased in January by the most in more than four years, reflecting broad-based gains that signal companies may be getting some pricing power. The so-called core consumer-price measure climbed 0.3 percent, more than forecast and the most since August 2011, after a 0.2 percent gain the month before, a Labor Department report showed Friday in Washington. Total prices were little changed, depressed by the continued plunge in energy costs. In the 12 months ended January, the overall consumer price measure increased 1.4 percent after a 0.7 percent increase in the prior period. (Bloomberg) Local News Malaysian 2016 private debt security issuance seen at RM75b-85b Malaysia's private debt securities (PDS) or bond issuance is seen hovering between RM75 billion and RM85 billion this year, supported by potential government infrastructure and construction projects. RAM Rating Services Bhd said its 2016 projection was similar to its 2015 forecast. In 2015, RAM said PDS issuance stood at RM85.9 billion. In Jan 2016, RM2.1 billion worth of PDS were issued. "Gross issuance of government securities, meanwhile, is expected to sum up to RM90 billion–RM100 billion," RAM said. According to RAM, its 2016 forecast for the Malaysian private and government bond markets comes amid global economic and market uncertainty. RAM said the introduction of negative interest rates by the European Union and Japan might prompt more foreign capital inflows into emerging markets in the coming months. (The Edge)
  • 3. SJ SECURITIES SDN BHD Malaysia concerned about France's palm oil tax hike The Malaysian government said it was concerned about France's proposal to raise palm oil tax, and that talks would continue with French stakeholders on the matter. Malaysia's Ministry of Plantation Industries and Commodities said French policy makers plan to raise the domestic tax on palm oil and palm kernel oil to €300 a tonne next year (2017) before upping it further to €900 by 2020. "The amendments were premised on the allegation that the palm oil industry contributes to deforestation and the disappearance of the eco systems, as well as health effects of palm oil consumption. "Malaysia being a major producer and exporter globally of palm oil products would like to reiterate that the palm oil industry in Malaysia subscribes to sustainable practices, including good agricultural practices and palm oil is a nutritional oil," the ministry said. (The Edge) Corporate News Zelan Slips into loss in 4Q on lower gross margin, higher fees Zelan Bhd reported a net loss of RM18.53 million in the fourth financial quarter ended Dec 31, 2015 (4QFY15), compared with a net profit of RM12.57 million a year earlier. The engineering and construction company said the reversal to its profitability was mainly due to lower gross profit from local projects, as well as reversal of accretion of interest of RM4.2 million due to forfeiture in cash flow from the International Islamic University Malaysia project and higher administrative expenses. Other factors like professional fee by RM7.7 million, and lower unrealised foreign exchange gain by RM5.3 million, also impacted its profitability. (The Edge) PetDag 4Q net profit surges 206-fold; pays 20 sen dividend Petronas Dagangan Bhd (PetDag) saw its net profit surge 206-fold to RM92.11 million or 9.3 sen per share in the fourth quarter ended Dec 31, 2015 (4QFY15), from RM445,000 or 0.04 sen per share a year ago, on higher margin contribution from the retail segment and higher other income by RM47.6 million. The higher other income was mainly due to an accounting reclassification from the goods and services tax (GST) implementation which has no profit impact, as well as higher interest income. The Group also declared an interim dividend of 20 sen per share for the quarter, payable on March 17. (The Edge) Malakoff Corp 4Q net profit falls 5% on higher maintenance cost and lower forex gain Malakoff Corp Bhd saw its net profit fall 5% to RM107.02 million or 2.14 sen per share in the fourth quarter ended Dec 31, 2015 (4QFY15), from RM112.69 million or 3.15 sen per share a year ago, on higher maintenance cost and lower foreign exchange gain. Malakoff attributed the lower capacity factors registered by our coal fired and gas fired power plants and the scheduled outages taken by certain power plants, as part of their maintenance cycles.
