マレーシアの3月の貿易総額は輸出入の増加により9.3%増加

-- マレーシア統計局は月曜日、3月のマレーシアのモノの貿易総額が前年同月比9.3%増の約2,730億リンギットに達したと発表した。輸出と輸入の両方が同月に増加したためだ。 輸出は前年同月比8.3%増の1,488億リンギットとなった。同局によると、再輸出と国内輸出が同月の輸出を押し上げた。 しかし、ダウ・ジョーンズ通信は同日、米国とイランの対立が世界的なサプライチェーンの混乱を引き起こし、マレーシアの輸出に悪影響を与える可能性があると報じた。 同局によると、輸入は10.4%増の1,242億リンギットとなった。 ダウ・ジョーンズ通信によると、ウォール街の調査では輸出が14%、輸入が13.9%増加すると予想されていた。 その結果、貿易黒字は246億リンギットとなり、前年同月比で2億1,550万リンギット減少した。 ウォール街のアナリスト調査によると、貿易黒字は259億リンギットに達すると予測されている。 製造品輸出は輸出総額の88%を占め、前年同期比9.6%増の1308億リンギットとなった。

RBC Expects "Resilient" Q1 Results From P&C Sector

RBC Capital Markets expects "resilient" first-quarter results from the property and casualty (P&C) insurance sector, but does not believes the results will be enough to change currently subdued investor sentiment on the sector.Analyst Bart Dziarski raised his price target on Fairfax Financial (FFH.TO) to US$2,261.00 from US$2,234.00 primarily reflecting the Poseidon transaction, and maintained an outperform rating. He believes the current valuation does not reflect the positive momentum in Fairfax's underwriting operations and investment portfolio."We expect Fairfax's underwriting results to remain strong in a favourable (albeit slowing) pricing environment where Fairfax has a historical track record of opportunistic growth. Fairfax's investment portfolio has been re-positioned to take advantage of the current interest rate environment driving improving investment results which we expect to continue," he wrote. Dziarski expects the P/B valuation discount vs. peers to narrow as Fairfax continues to consistently deliver solid operating results.As for the diversified financials sector, Dziarski remains cautious on goeasy (GSY.TO) and will look for updates on goeasy remediating issues within the LendCare portfolio, both regarding internal controls/financial reporting and charge-offs/loan losses. "We believe resolution of the foregoing is important for sentiment to improve."He is maintaining an underperform rating and $33.00 price target on goeasy. Dziarski does not expect management's 3-point action plan to take hold until 2028+ and sees downside risk to valuation as investors reassess the durability of book value and the company's ability to stabilize credit performance.Price: $2482.26, Change: $+25.42, Percent Change: +1.03%
