1Q16 results in line

1Q16 earnings and first interim gross DPU of 2.05sen were within our and consensus’ estimates. Higher income contributions from new assets were partly offset by lower occupancy rates of selected assets. We trim our FY16-18F earnings by 1-3% premised on a temporary drag in occupancy rates. We maintain our DCF-based TP of MYR1.55 (WACC: 6.2%, terminal yield: 7.0%).

U.S: Sales of new homes in March fell for a third month on slump in west. Total sales decreased 1.5% to a 511,000 annualized pace, a Commerce Department report showed. In western states, demand slumped 23.6%. Purchases rose in two regions last month, indicating uneven demand at the start of the busiest time of the year for builders and real-estate agents. While new construction has been showing limited upside, cheap borrowing costs and solid hiring will help ensure residential real estate continues to expand. (Source: Bloomberg)

Canada: Oil rebound elusive as rig count drops to record low. Rig activity in Canada’s oil fields has reached a record low, weekly industry data show, a sign that rebounding prices have yet to put an end to the industry’s woes. The number of active rigs drilling in Canada fell to 37 this week, the lowest count ever according to historical data provided by the Canadian Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors, which dates back to 1984. Only 6% of the country’s 671 oil rigs are currently in use. The figures underscore the barriers to a turnaround in Canada’s oil patch, the one-time economic engine whose slump has lowered growth projections in the country. (Source: Bloomberg)

The Munich-based Ifo institute’s business climate index fell to 106.6 in April from 106.7 the previous month. The Bundesbank said last week that it sees slowing momentum in the economy this quarter after a strong expansion in the first three months of the year. Global headwinds remain a concern even though the economy in China. (Source: Bloomberg)

China: Interest-rate swaps rose to a 12-month high on bets a pick-up in economic growth and signs of speculative trading in commodities and property will prevent the central bank from adding to stimulus. The cost of one-year swaps, the fixed payment to receive the floating seven-day repurchase rate, increased six basis points to 2.64%, heading for its highest close since April 2015.

S. Korea: Economy slowed in the first quarter as sluggishness in exports weighed on corporate investment and consumers cut back on spending. GDP rose 0.4% from the previous quarter, the Bank of Korea said. The economy expanded by 2.7% YoY. The pace of economic growth slowed in the quarter even as the government front-loaded fiscal spending and resumed consumption tax discounts on cars through the first half of this year. The central bank cut its GDP forecast for 2016 to 2.8% from 3%, citing weakness in the first three months of the year. (Source: Bloomberg)
