Five-year shield for CRC players
The extension, from June 23, 2025, to June 22, 2030, is seen as a welcomed move as it will continue to be a buffer for local manufacturers whose margins have been squeezed by a flood of cheaper imports in recent years.

WCT's PLUS contract to add up to 4pct to annual earnings
KUALA LUMPUR: WCT Holdings Bhd's new contract to build additional lanes along the Sedenak–Simpang Renggam stretch of the North-South Expressway is expected to add 2–4 per cent to its annual earnings over the 36-month project period. Public Investment Bank Bhd (PublicInvest) said this is WCT's first win of the year and makes up 36.5 per cent of its RM1 billion job replenishment target for financial year 2025 (FY25). "With this job win, WCT's outstanding construction order book is estimated to increase by 14.6 per cent to RM2.8 billion," it said. However, it maintained its current forecasts, as the job win falls within its FY25 order book replenishment assumptions. The RM365.2 million contract, awarded by Projek Lebuhraya Usahasama Bhd, covers the construction of additional lanes along the Yong Peng (North) to Senai (North) stretch, specifically Phase 2 from Sedenak to Simpang Renggam in Johor. The scope of work includes site clearing, demolition, earthworks, drainage, pavement construction, road markings, installation of road furniture, geotechnical works, bridge building, environmental protection measures, utility relocation, road lighting systems, and the extension of vehicular box culverts. This second phase of the highway expansion was announced under Budget 2024, aimed at upgrading the Simpang Renggam-Machap section from four to six lanes to alleviate traffic congestion in the southern corridor.

Bursa Malaysia Retreats To Open Lower
KUALA LUMPUR, July 7 (Bernama) -- Bursa Malaysia retreated to open lower on Monday, following a negative overnight performance on Wall Street, with the July 9 reciprocal tariffs deadline approaching. At 9.10 am, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) declined 13.66 points, or 0.88 per cent, to 1,536.53 from last Friday's close of 1,550.19. The benchmark index had earlier opened 5.45 points lower at 1,544.74. Market breadth was negative, with 436 decliners thumping 63 gainers. A total of 214 counters were unchanged, 1,691 untraded and 19 suspended. Turnover stood at 276.83 million shares worth RM189.99 million. Malacca Securities Sdn Bhd expect the local bourse to start the week on a cautious note with Wall Street's negative index futures and the July 9 tariff deadline looming, coupled with US plans to restrict AI chip shipments to Malaysia and Thailand. 'Nevertheless, the return of foreign funds and the FBM KLCI's undervaluation may cushion the downside risk for now, supported by the data centre theme, domestic-driven plays and anticipation of major infrastructure projects rollout. 'We remain bullish on the construction and utility sectors, while real estate investment trust (REIT) counters continue to benefit should Bank Negara Malaysia lower the overnight policy rate (OPR) in the upcoming monetary policy committee meeting,' it said in a note. Among the heavyweights, Maybank fell one sen to RM9.73, Public Bank and Tenaga Nasional decreased six sen each to RM4.32 and RM14, respectively. CIMB and IHH Healthcare dropped three sen to RM6.74 and RM6.72, respectively.

Five-year shield for CRC players
THE government has extended anti-dumping duties on cold rolled coils (CRCs) of iron or non-alloy steel from China and Japan for five more years in a move to protect its domestic steel industry from unfair foreign competition. The extension, from June 23, 2025, to June 22, 2030, is seen as a welcomed move as it will continue to be a buffer for local manufacturers whose margins have been squeezed by a flood of cheaper imports in recent years.
