Ringgit ends higher against US dollar on Fed rate cut hopes
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 5 — The ringgit continued to close higher against the US dollar as expectations of an interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) gained momentum, said an analyst. At 6pm, the local note climbed to 4.2260/2310 against the greenback from yesterday's close of 4.2350/2385. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said that risky assets such as equities have been rising as a lower interest environment would be positive for corporate finances, especially on their cost of borrowings. Commenting on the US Fed, the economist noted that a series of Fed speakers are expected to shed more light on the future direction of US interest rates. He noted that several Fed officials, San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly, Boston Fed President Susan Collins, and Fed Governor Lisa Cook, will be speaking to the public on Thursday. 'Our sense is that the market would want to hear the latest conviction among the Fed as to how the interest rate would evolve in the months to come, especially in the September Federal Open Market Committee meeting,' he told Bernama. At the close, the ringgit ended firmer against major currencies. It rose against the Japanese yen to 2.8618/8654 from 2.8652/8677 at the close on Monday, gained versus the British pound to 5.6159/6226 from 5.6296/6342, and was higher against the euro to 4.8772/8830 from 4.8978/9018 previously. The ringgit was also strengthened against regional peers. It improved against the Singapore dollar to 3.2793/2834 from 3.2878/2908, inched up versus the Thai baht to 13.0408/0627 from 13.0452/0616, strengthened against the Indonesian rupiah to 257.8/258.2 from 258.2/258.5 and improved against the Philippine peso to 7.33/7.34 from 7.38/7.39 previously. — Bernama

Taiwan detains three over TSMC ‘trade secret leaks'
TAIPEI, Aug 5 — Taiwanese prosecutors said today they had detained three people after chipmaking giant TSMC reported suspected 'trade secret leaks' relating to a key technology. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company alleges a former employee and two current staff may have 'unlawfully obtained' trade secrets, the High Prosecutors Office's Intellectual Property Branch said. The information relates to the firm's 'national core technology', they said. TSMC made the discovery in July after detecting 'unusual access to internal personnel files', the prosecutors said. After speaking to witnesses and collecting evidence, prosecutors said the three defendants were 'strongly suspected' of violating the National Security Act. TSMC is the world's largest contract maker of chips and counts Nvidia and Apple among its clients. In a statement, it said it had taken 'strict disciplinary actions against the personnel involved' in the 'potential trade secret leaks'. 'As the case is now under judicial review, we are unable to provide further details at this time,' TSMC said. The company did not provide details about the technology involved in the suspected leaks. — AFP
