S&P 500 and Nasdaq notch record high closes
NEW YORK: The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq notched record high closes on Monday, lifted by Alphabet and other megacaps ahead of several earnings reports this week, while investors bet on potential trade deals to blunt economic damage from the Trump administration's global tariffs. Google-parent Alphabet rallied 2.70 per cent ahead of its quarterly report on Wednesday. It and Tesla, also reporting on Wednesday, kick off earnings from the so-called "Magnificent Seven", and their results may set the tone for other heavyweight companies reporting in the next several days. Tesla dipped zero point three five per cent, while Apple gained zero point six two per cent and Amazon rose 1.43 per cent, both lifting the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. Verizon rallied over four per cent after the telecommunications company boosted its annual profit forecast. Analysts on average expected S&P 500 companies to report a 6.70 per cent increase in earnings for the second quarter, with Big Tech driving much of that gain, according to LSEG I/B/E/S. "So far, companies that have reported have, in general, met or beat guidance from the prior quarter, and we haven't seen any degradation either in corporate profits or consumer spending," said Tom Hainlin, national investment strategist at US Bank Wealth Management in Minneapolis. With US President Donald Trump's August 1 tariff deadline approaching, the S&P 500 is up about eight per cent year to date, with investors betting the economic damage from tariffs will be less than feared. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on Sunday he was confident the United States could secure a trade deal with the European Union, even as EU members explored possible countermeasures against the United States. Trump has threatened 30 per cent tariffs on imports from Mexico and the EU, and sent letters to other trading partners, including Canada, Japan and Brazil, setting tariffs ranging from 20 per cent to 50 per cent. The S&P 500 climbed 0.14 per cent to end the session at 6,305.60 points. The Nasdaq gained 0.38 per cent to 20,974.18 points, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.04 per cent to 44,323.07 points. Seven of the 11 S&P 500 sector indexes rose, led by communication services, up 1.90 per cent, followed by a 0.60 per cent gain in consumer discretionary. Volume on US exchanges was relatively heavy, with 19.70 billion shares traded, compared to an average of 17.70 billion shares over the previous 20 sessions. The S&P 500 has gained about seven per cent in 2025, while the Nasdaq has climbed almost nine per cent. Investors focused on how tariff uncertainty is impacting the US economy will scrutinise jobless claims data and the July business activity report, expected on Thursday. They will also watch a speech by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Tuesday for clues about when the Fed might cut interest rates, especially after mixed inflation signals last week. Traders have largely ruled out a July rate cut, and they now see a greater than 50 per cent chance the Fed will cut by its September meeting, according to CME Group's FedWatch tool. Declining stocks outnumbered rising ones within the S&P 500 by a 1.7-to-one ratio. The S&P 500 posted 17 new highs and nine new lows; the Nasdaq recorded 97 new highs and 56 new lows.

Bursa ends flat amid cautious sentiment
KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia ended almost flat yesterday, with the key index slipping 0.08%, reflecting cautious market tone amid mixed domestic developments and bucking the broader regional trend. At 5pm, the FBM KLCI erased 1.27 points to end at 1,524.59 from last Friday's close of 1,525.86. The benchmark index was 0.60 of a point better at 1,526.86 at the opening bell and moved between 1,520.02 and 1,526.46 throughout the trading session. The market breadth was negative, with 607 losers overtaking 342 gainers and 504 counters unchanged, while 1,014 were untraded and seven suspended. Turnover improved to 3.5 billion shares worth RM2.68bil from 3.18 billion shares worth RM2.81bil last Friday. Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd equity research vice-president Thong Pak Leng said upbeat sentiment was seen across Asia, however, selling pressure continued to persist across emerging markets. 'We believe investor funds are rotating into Hong Kong and Chinese equities. Locally, ongoing foreign and retail selling reflects a cautious wait-and-see sentiment. Nonetheless, the FBM KLCI is well supported above the 1,520 level. 'We reckon the selldown offers an opportunity to bargain hunt stocks at lower levels, hence we expect the index to trend within the 1,510 to 1,540 level for the week,' he added. UOB Kay Hian Wealth Advisors Sdn Bhd head of investment research Mohd Sedek Jantan opined that investors are assessing news of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission probe, launched last Thursday in connection with alleged corruption involving a data centre project tender. 'The impact of the investigation appears confined to selected counters, with no sign of broader market contagion. 'This was underscored by the market performance where stocks linked to data centres, telecommunications and industrials ranked among the leading gainers, indicating that investor sentiment towards these sectors remains fundamentally resilient,' he added. Mohd Sedek also said that investors are expected to adopt a selective stance, reassessing exposures within the data centre and technology sectors rather than engaging in broad-based selling. Of the heavyweight stocks, Malayan Banking Bhd and Tenaga Nasional Bhd were flat at RM9.52 and RM13.78, Public Bank Bhd was one sen lower at RM4.30, CIMB Group Holdings Bhd rose one sen to RM6.52 and IHH Healthcare Bhd advanced six sen to RM6.63. Among the most active stocks, Sunway Construction Group Bhd was 49 sen lower at RM5.49, NexG Bhd gained one sen to 50.5 sen, Pharmaniaga Bhd advanced 6.5 sen to 22 sen while Tanco Holdings Bhd lost half-a-sen to 90.5 sen. The ringgit extended its gains against the US dollar at yesterday's close, as the greenback struggled to appreciate amid political uncertainties in Japan, said an analyst.
