Economic Factors:

• The ringgit opened slightly higher against the US dollar in early trade this morning on mild buying.
• Press Metal Bhd's shares rose 15 sen to RM6.25 following its bullish second quarter results posted yesterday.
• The three-month Kuala Lumpur Interbank Offered Rate (KLIBOR) futures contracts ended untraded yesterday.
• Crude palm oil (CPO) futures prices rebounded to close higher yesterday after touching a one-year low on Monday, supported by renewed demand for the commodity.
• The local rubber market extended its losses yesterday in tandem with the downtrend on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange (Tocom). The rubber futures prices on Tocom had been affected by the uncertainties in crude oil prices.
• Petroliam Nasional Bhd’s (Petronas) net profit inched up to RM39.81 billion in the first six months of this year from RM35.63 billion a year ago. Its revenue rose 12% to RM169.40 billion from RM151.10 billion in the same period last year. The group said the stronger revenue was mainly due to higher oil and gas production volume, petroleum products and LNG trading volume.
