 Highlights of the week:

·         All eyes on China as the currency depreciate by a cumulative 4% against US dollar
·         Helping to keep the door prop open to a Fed rate hike this year, US retail sales top forecast with a 0.6% rise in July
·         2Q real GDP growth of 4.9% and current account surplus of RM7.6 billion fail to keep markets on the optimistic side of the equation
·         Most local govvies were under selling pressure as Ringgit broke its psychological level of RM4.00 against US dollar
