Yuan hits more than 1-week high as strong midpoint, export surprise lift sentiment
SHANGHAI: China's yuan rose to a more than one-week high against the U.S. dollar on Monday, buoyed by a firmer official midpoint and stronger-than-expected export data. The onshore yuan firmed to 7.1606 in early trade, the strongest level since July 3, before reversing some of the gains. China's exports regained some momentum in June while imports rebounded, as exporters rushed out shipments to capitalise on a fragile tariff truce between Beijing and Washington ahead of a looming August deadline. Prior to the market opening, the People's Bank of China set the midpoint rate at 7.1491 per dollar, 253 pips firmer than a Reuters' estimate. The spot yuan is allowed to trade 2% either side of the fixed midpoint each day. The PBOC lowered the fixing to the stronger side of the 7.15 mark for the first time since Nov. 8, 2024 last Friday, suggesting a possible shift in its tolerance for a stronger yuan. The spot yuan opened at 7.1606 per dollar and was last trading at 7.1693 per dollar as of 0220 GMT, 9 pips firmer than the previous late session close and 0.28% weaker than the midpoint. China's yuan inches higher on firmer PBOC guidance even as dollar rises 'USD-CNY fixing started to grind lower following the trade deal, even ticking lower during USD strength from geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. This highlighted the PBOC's push towards more RMB strength,' said HSBC analysts in a note. Barring a breakdown in the U.S.-China trade truce, theanalysts expect the yuan to extend its gains, supported by a gradual shift away from the U.S. dollar and the PBOC's increasing comfort with a firmer currency. President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened to impose a30% tariff on imports from Mexico and the European Union starting on August 1. Market reaction has been largely muted, with the dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies, up 0.1% on Monday. 'This underscores how much markets are discounting the tariff threats, amidst expectations that concessions will be built in closer to the deadline,' said Citi analysts in a note. The offshore yuan traded at 7.1711 yuan per dollar, up about 0.06% in Asian trade. China's economy is expected to have slowed down in thesecond quarter from a solid start to the year as trade tensions with the United States added to deflationary pressures, reinforcing expectations that Beijing may need to roll out more stimulus.

Balancing the books and the battlefield: Pakistan's fiscal strategy for FY2025–26—III
With an eye on long-term innovation, Rs?79?billion is dedicated to the IT sector. Major developments include the Karachi IT Park, Islamabad Technology Park, and a national freelancing platform. The government also aims to scale up IT exports, which have already grown 21 percent year-on-year. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will benefit from increased access to low-cost financing and enhanced risk coverage. Over Rs 300 billion has already been disbursed to 95,000 businesses, with the government planning to double this outreach through new policy tools and financial instruments. Remittances—Pakistan's most stable source of foreign exchange—rose to USD 38.3 billion last year, a remarkable 27 percent year-on-year increase. Enhanced services for overseas Pakistanis, such as secure digital transfers, diaspora awards, and legal protections, are helping cement trust and sustain these vital inflows. These remittances serve as a bulwark against external imbalances and are instrumental in maintaining the State Bank's foreign exchange reserves, which currently stand at a reassuring USD?14 billion. The export target for FY2025–26 is set at USD 35.3 billion—a 7.4 percent increase—while imports are expected to grow to USD?65.2?billion. This will result in a trade deficit of nearly USD 30 billion, which the government plans to offset through robust remittance inflows and foreign direct investment. Exporters, especially in textiles, IT, and rice, will benefit from zero-rated tax regimes, tariff rationalization, and simplified refund systems. A newly proposed Tariff Reform Package aims to reduce maximum duty rates to 15 percent within four years, enhancing global competitiveness and easing the burden on domestic producers.

PSX hits all-time high
KARACHI: The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) extended its bullish momentum this week, with the benchmark KSE-100 Index closing at a fresh all-time high of 134,299.77 points, after gaining a robust 2,351 points or 1.8 percent on a week-on-week (WoW) basis. This marks another milestone in what has been a remarkable run for the local equity market, fuelled by improving macroeconomic fundamentals, sustained foreign inflows, and strong institutional participation. PSX Market Capitalization also increased from Rs 15.910 trillion to Rs 16.288 trillion during the week — a gain of Rs 377.8 billion, or approximately 2.4 percent WoW in local currency terms. BRIndex100 increased by 194.93 points last week, closing at 13,630.83 points. This is up from 13,435.90 points the previous week. On average, 733.196 million shares were traded daily for BRIndex100 which is less than 15 million shares from previous week. BRIndex30 also rose by 433.66 points over the week, ending at 39,850.99 points while it ended up previous week at 39,417.33 points. The average daily trading volume for BRIndex30 during the week remain 403.526 million shares According to market observers, this week's rally was primarily driven by continued buying from local mutual funds amid new allocations, with the month-to-date (MTD) net inflows from this segment standing at around US$30 million by Thursday's close. The persistent institutional interest provided stability and upward momentum to the index, even as overall trading volumes moderated slightly compared to the previous week. Contributing to the positive sentiment were several key macroeconomic developments. Remittances for June 2025 came in at a solid US $3.4 billion, taking the cumulative figure for FY25 to a historic US $38.3 billion, the highest ever annual remittance inflow recorded by Pakistan and up 27 percent year-on-year (YoY). This surge provided a crucial cushion to the external account and underpinned the rupee's stability in recent sessions. In the money market, robust participation of Rs 2.7 trillion was recorded in the latest T-Bill auction, where the government raised Rs 1.41 trillion. Notably, the yield on the 12-month T-Bill declined by 13 basis points, signalling improved investor confidence and easing inflationary concerns. Another positive trigger for the equities market was the latest data from the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), which showed that foreign exchange reserves surged to a 39-month high of US $14.5 billion for the week ended July 4, 2025. This sharp increase, coupled with record remittances, pushed total reserves past the US $20 billion mark for the first time in three years, significantly strengthening Pakistan's external position. The government's fiscal management efforts also remained in focus as authorities successfully retired Rs 1.5 trillion in public debt ahead of schedule in FY25, bringing the country's debt-to-GDP ratio down to 69 percent from 75 percent in FY23. Additionally, the government advanced plans to issue its inaugural Panda bond in the Chinese capital market, with key meetings held in China this week to finalize arrangements. Among sectors, the automobile industry continued its impressive recovery, as compare to the last some years, benefiting from improved stability and consumer sentiment. According to figures released by the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA), car sales in June 2025 soared to 21,773 units, reflecting a 64 percent YoY increase and a 47 percent MoM rise. On a cumulative basis, industry sales during FY25 rose by 43 percent YoY to 148,019 units, marking one of the sector's strongest yearly performances in recent history. A sector-wise breakdown showed Textile companies leading the gains with a 10.5 percent WoW rise, followed by chemicals (up 6.8 percent), autos (up 4.2 percent), and banks (up 3.6 percent). Cement, pharmaceuticals, and engineering stocks also posted steady gains amid improving demand outlook and healthy corporate earnings expectations. In terms of market activity, average daily traded volume stood at 948 million shares, while the average daily traded value clocked in at Rs 38.8 billion during the outgoing week. While these figures represented a marginal decline compared to last week, analysts contended that overall sentiment remained buoyant, supported by sustained institutional flows and robust corporate disclosures. Among individual stocks, BNWM (Bannu Woollen Mills) MEHT (Mehmood Textile Mills), and KTML (Kohinoor Textile Mills) were the top gainers, posting gains of 34.0 percent, 26.7 percent, and 18.6 percent WoW respectively. On the other hand, PSEL (Pakistan Services Limited), AIRLINK, and PKGP faced profit-taking pressures. Regionally, Asian markets displayed a mixed performance. Korea's KOSPI led with a 4.0% gain, followed by Indonesia (up 2.7%) and China (up 1.1%), while India's Sensex fell by 1.1% amid geopolitical jitters and mixed earnings guidance. In contrast, the PSX's 2 percent increase on a week on week basis, highlighted its relative resilience and appeal among frontier and emerging markets. With a combination of record remittances, improving external reserves, controlled inflationary outlook, and fiscal consolidation, market analysts anticipate the PSX's positive trajectory to persist in the near term. However, they caution that intermittent profit-taking and global market volatility could inject bouts of volatility. Sectors likely to remain in investor focus include banking, autos, textiles, and export-oriented industries, while institutional flows — particularly from mutual funds and foreign portfolio investors — are expected to remain the key market drivers.
