Public Bank says PB Engage mobile app will be inaccessible from August 15 onward
For more information on switching to the new MyPB app, Public Bank customers can visit the bank's website. — CHRISTOPHER FAM/The Star PETALING JAYA: Public Bank has announced that its PB Engage mobile app will cease to function after Aug 15, with customers advised to switch to the new MyPB app to continue accessing mobile banking services. The move to discontinue the older PB Engage app was originally announced back in February of this year. Customers who are not yet on the MyPB app can install it from the Google Play Store, App Store or Huawei AppGallery. They will then be able to login using their existing PBe login credentials, before transferring their SecureSign registration. It is worth noting that they will still need the PB Engage app installed in order to accept the PB SecureSign on the MyPB app. SecureSign will then need to be activated in person at a Public Bank branch or ATM. Upon SecureSign activation in the app, a 12-hour cooling-off period will be in effect, meaning that customers will not be able to approve transactions using the device during that period. For more information on switching to the new MyPB app, Public Bank customers can visit the bank's website.

Bursa Malaysia opens higher after two days of losses, tracks Wall Street gains
KUALA LUMPUR, July 17 — Bursa Malaysia rebounded from two consecutive days of losses to open higher on Thursday, with buying interest emerging, tracking the lead from Wall Street's overnight performance. At 9.10 am, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) gained 4.99 points, or 0.33 per cent, to 1,516.49 from Wednesday's close of 1,511.50. The benchmark index opened 0.39 points higher at 1,511.89. The broader market was positive, with gainers outnumbering decliners 180 to 107, while 218 counters were unchanged, 1,952 untraded, and eight suspended. Turnover stood at 176.48 million shares worth RM91.94 million. Malacca Securities Sdn Bhd said overnight Wall Street session saw a gradual recovery of buying interest, shrugging off hotter-than-anticipated inflation numbers and uncertain trade policies following the recent announcement that United States Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell has been fired. 'We also favour selected technology stocks, following the positive developments in global chip export policies. 'For a more defensive approach and in light of Bank Negara Malaysia's recent overnight policy rate cut, we continue to favour real estate investment trusts (REITs), as their dividend yields offer an attractive premium against government bonds,' it said in a note today. Among the heavyweight counters, Maybank gained four sen to RM9.57, Public Bank went up one sen to RM4.24, and Tenaga Nasional added six sen to RM13.74. CIMB and IHH Healthcare were flat at RM6.50 and RM6.52, respectively. In active trade, ACE debutant iCents Group was five sen higher at 29 sen, Nationgate rose three sen to RM1.51, Tan Chong Motors went down two sen to 77 sen, while NexG and TWL both remained unchanged at 48.5 sen and three sen, respectively. On the broader index board, the FBM Emas Index advanced 31.97 points to 11,403.0, the FBMT 100 Index climbed 32.39 points to 11,165.04, and the FBM Emas Shariah Index appreciated 34.50 points to 11,438.45. The FBM 70 Index inched up 29.23 points to 16,550.62, while the FBM ACE Index inched down 0.26 of a point to 4,581.82. By sector, the Financial Services Index increased 40.87 points to 17,284.63, the Energy Index edged down 1.31 points to 734.36, and the Plantation Index eased 0.54 of a point to 7,406.25.

Bursa Malaysia Ends At Day's Low, FBM KLCI Down 0.79 Pct
KUALA LUMPUR, July 15 (Bernama) -- Bursa Malaysia ended at an intraday low today due to persistent selling in selected heavyweights, led by the financial services and construction sectors. The benchmark index opened 1.45 points lower at 1,536.06 and hovered between 1,525.40 and 1,538.56 throughout the session. Public Bank eased 8.0 sen to RM4.26, Maybank slid 7.0 sen to RM9.65 and Gamuda gave up 13 sen to RM4.96. These counters dragged the composite index down by a combined of 5.42 points. At 5 pm, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) fell 12.11 points or 0.79 per cent to 1,525.40 from Monday's close of 1,537.51. UOB Kay Hian Wealth Advisors Sdn Bhd's head of investment research Mohd Sedek Jantan said the FBM KLCI's drop today reflected a cautious undertone among investors despite an improvement in broader market sentiment. The market breadth was negative, with 601 decliners outpacing 412 gainers and 498 counters unchanged, while 918 were untraded and eight suspended. 'Investor focus remains firmly on the progress of the US-Malaysia tariff negotiations, with the Aug 1 deadline for the imposition of a 25 per cent import duty drawing near. 'The market appears to be factoring in a drawn-out negotiation process, contributing to prevailing risk aversion,' he told Bernama. Meanwhile, he said the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry's (MITI) announcement on trade permit for artificial intelligence (AI) chips is a welcome step towards regulatory clarity while persistent concerns over potential US export controls on AI chip shipments to Malaysia continue to cast a shadow over sentiment particularly within the technology and semiconductor sectors. 'Nonetheless, from a medium to longer-term perspective, we see the strengthening of governance and compliance standards as a positive structural shift that may enhance Malaysia's competitive positioning within global value chains, potentially serving as a future catalyst for investor confidence,' he added. Among other heavyweight counters, CIMB reduced 6.0 sen to RM6.63, Hong Leong Bank lost 26 sen to RM19.30, Tenaga Nasional decreased 8.0 sen to RM13.90, 99 Speed Mart added 3.0 sen to RM2.30 and Sunway rose 4.0 sen to RM4.92. In active trade, Zetrix AI was 5.5 sen lower at 93 sen, Nationgate shed 12 sen to RM1.49, Dagang NeXchange weakened 1.0 sen to 30.5 sen, NexG gained half-a-sen to 47.5 sen while Tanco was flat at 90.5 sen. On the index board, the FBM Emas Index declined 82.38 points to 11,476.08, the FBMT 100 Index sank 83.43 points to 11,237.61 and the FBM Emas Shariah Index fell 77.42 points to 11,483.18. The FBM 70 Index dropped 98.80 points to 16,688.40, while the FBM ACE Index improved 16.10 points to 4,587.62. By sector, the Financial Services Index dipped 161.22 points to 17,502.65, the Industrial Products and Services Index shaved 0.48 of a point to 153.39 and the Plantation Index eased 15.68 points to 7,418.42. The Energy Index inched down 8.46 points to 738.92. The Main Market volume rebounded to 1.44 billion units worth RM2.07 billion from 1.13 billion units valued at RM1.35 billion on Monday. Warrant turnover slipped to 1.28 billion units valued at RM172.45 million from 1.46 billion units worth RM208.01 million previously. The ACE Market volume increased to 347.59 million units valued at RM122.67 million versus 342.18 million units worth RM113.55 million yesterday.

Bursa opens almost flat amid cautious sentiment
KUALA LUMPUR : Bursa Malaysia opened nearly flat on Monday, taking a cue from Wall Street's subdued close last week, as a renewed protectionist trade rhetoric from Washington kept investors cautious. The FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) had opened 0.10 of-a-point lower at 1,535.97, however, and rebounded shortly after. At 10.18am, the benchmark index inched up 0.95 of-a-point to 1,537.02 from Friday's close of 1,536.07. Market breadth was negative, with decliners outnumbering advancers 335 to 303, while 419 counters were unchanged, 1,352 untraded, and two suspended. Turnover stood at 1.11 billion shares worth RM391.41 million. Malacca Securities Sdn Bhd said the local bourse may start the week on a softer note following Wall Street's decline, as concerns over a prolonged trade war continued to dampen risk appetite. 'However, last week's 25 basis points overnight policy rate (OPR) cut by Bank Negara Malaysia and the potential for further monetary easing should help cushion downside risks, particularly in property stocks amid lower mortgage rates. 'We also see this as a buying opportunity in REITs, which continue to offer attractive dividend yields compared to Malaysian bonds,' the brokerage said in a note. It added that traders would be monitoring US data this week, including inflation, retail sales, and unemployment claims. Among the heavyweights, Maybank rose 4.0 sen to RM9.73, CIMB added 2.0 sen to RM6.70, while Public Bank eased 1.0 sen to RM4.31. Tenaga Nasional and IHH Healthcare were unchanged at RM13.96 and RM6.58, respectively. In active trade, Jiankun, UEM Sunrise, and Pharmaniaga edged up half-a-sen each to 3.0 sen, 76.5 sen, and 17 sen, respectively. Land and General slipped half-a-sen to 11 sen, and NationGate shed 2.0 sen to RM1.61. On the broader index board, the FBM Emas Index rose 17.18 points to 11,560.76, the FBMT 100 Index gained 14.80 points to 11,323.54, and the FBM Emas Shariah Index climbed 22.91 points to 11,575.38. The FBM 70 Index advanced 33.96 points to 16,795.31, while the FBM ACE Index dipped 2.30 points to 4,535.87. By sector, the Financial Services Index gained 33.57 points to 17,641.70, the Plantation Index rose 35.15 points to 7,485.60, and the Energy Index edged up 5.35 points to 742.97. The Industrial Products and Services Index slipped 0.16 of-a-point to 153.93.
