Weaker 2Q16 results were below expectations on the higher
depreciation charges. We think earnings could be weaker in 3Q (on
softer petroleum tanker rate) but to pick up again in 4Q (additional
earnings from new LNG and offshore assets, as well as seasonal strength
in petroleum tanker rate). We lower our 2016-18 EPS by 8% p.a. on the
higher depreciation but maintain our HOLD call and SOP-based TP of
MYR7.60.

U.K: BOE cuts rate to 0.25%; Vote 9-0; Expands QE and buys
corporate bonds. Bank of England says it will buy GBP 60b gilts over six
months and buy GBP10b corporate bonds over 18 months. BOE announces
term-funding scheme to mitigate impact of low rates on some lenders while
signaling it may cut interest rate to near zero later this year. BOE says
Brexit has weakened outlook and cut 2017 GDP forecast to 0.8% v 2.3%
while keeping 2016 target at 2%. (Source: Bloomberg)
U.K: Hiring plunges as BOE warns that unemployment will
rise. The number of people being hired for permanent positions slumped
the most in seven years in July, putting the jobs market in a “dramatic
freefall.” An index of permanent positions dropped to 45.4 from 49.3 in
June, Market and the Recruitment and Employment Confederation said.
That’s below the key 50 level and marks the weakest reading since May
2009. The report provides a fresh indication that the U.K.’s decision to
leave the European Union will hold back economic growth, the day after
the Bank of England said that the outlook had weakened “markedly.”

Japan: BOJ doubled its exchange-traded fund purchases,
suggesting it’s opting to increase the daily amount from now on rather
than how often it buys, according to Tokai Tokyo Research Center. The
central bank bought JPY 70.7b (USD 697mn) in ETFs under its main buying
program, slightly more than a doubling of daily purchases last month, the
BOJ said. The central bank needs to accelerate the pace of purchases
after saying on July 29 it would boost total annual buying by 82% to JPY
6t. (Source: Bloomberg)
Indonesia: President Joko Widodo called for spending curbs
as the budget deficit in Southeast Asia’s largest economy continues to
deteriorate on the back of a shortfall in tax revenue and falling
commodity prices. Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati, who took office
last week, revised this year’s fiscal shortfall to 2.5% of GDP and told
reporters that the government estimates a revenue gap of IDR 219t (USD
16.7b). The deficit target was raised from 2.35%, bringing it closer to
the mandated ceiling of 3%. (Source: Bloomberg)
