Malaysia’s 2025 GDP growth of 4.9 percent in line with projections – MBSB IB KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia recorded economic growth of 4.9 percent for 2025, higher than MBSB Investment Bank Bhd’s (MBSB IB) projection of 4.6 percent and a slight decrease compared to the 5.1 percent achieved in 2024. The investment bank said in a research note today that this sustained growth outweighs concerns about the adverse impact on foreign trade and manufacturing output due to higher tariffs such as those imposed by the United States (US). The manufacturing sector is expected to grow by 4.5 percent in 2025, slightly faster than 4.2 percent in 2024. “Despite the strong external trade performance in the […]

Gold futures expected to remain in positive trend next week KUALA LUMPUR: Gold futures on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives are expected to maintain a positive trend next week, tracking gains on the United States Commodity Exchange (COMEX). RHB Investment Bank Bhd (RHB IB) said in a note yesterday that it would maintain a positive trading bias, provided the price remains above the US$4,000 per troy ounce level. The bank said temporary resistance seen at US$4,600 per troy ounce suggested gold may be entering a consolidation phase, with support seen near US$4,200 per troy ounce. “At this stage, both the 20-day and 50-day simple moving averages remain in an uptrend and continue […]

*FIRST BRANDS CREDITOR SAYS UP TO $2.3 BILLION 'SIMPLY VANISHED', SEEKS INVESTIGATION Raistone, a provider of short-term financing that worked on deals for First Brands, is demanding an independent examiner be appointed in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings after alleging that as much as $2.3bn has "simply vanished." On October 2, a bankruptcy lawyer for First Brands told Raistone that advisors don't know if First Brands has received an estimated $1.9bn. This followed the "first day hearing" where First Brands won access to a $1bn+ DIP financing to prevent the business from collapsing. In one of the most bizarre email exchanges, Raistone's lawyer asked two simple questions: "First, do we know whether First Brands actually received $1.9bn (no matter what happened to it), and second, would you tell us how much is in the segregated accounts in respect of the factored receivables as of today?" The response from Sunny Singh of Weil Gotshal: "#1 - We don't know. #2 - $0."

Ripple effects from the First Brands implosion are hitting everywhere: 1) Cantor Fitzgerald's purchase of UBS O'Connor ($117mm+ loss, looking to change terms) 2) Millennium ($100mm+ loss) 3) Raistone ($2.3bn has "simply vanished") 4) Blackrock pulling capital from Jefferies funds 5) Western Alliance Bank (undisclosed loss)

it's looking increasingly likely that the implosion of a random auto parts company is going to lead to a full blown financial crisis.

billions of dollars is apparently just straight up missing. multiple companies that are getting hit in the fallout are […]

Ken Moelis to step down as CEO of his investment bank, WSJ reports (Reuters) -Ken Moelis is planning to step down as chief executive officer of his investment bank Moelis & Co (NYSE:MC), he told the Wall Street Journal in an interview on Monday. Co-founder and co-president Navid Mahmoodzadegan is likely to be the next CEO, while Moelis will take on the executive chairman role on October 1, according to the report. The leadership transition would mark a significant milestone for the bank, which has been led solely by Moelis since its founding in 2007. Moelis, who has worked as an investment banker for more than 40 years, is one of the most respected names on Wall Street. He was once a banker to current U.S. President Donald Trump and played a key role as a senior executive at UBS. His firm is also among a select group of pure-play investment banks, dedicated primarily to offering advice instead of lending or trading. Succession at firms closely tied to their founding CEO can be tricky because of their personal influence. But Ken Moelis said he expects to pull off the "smoothest transition ever in the history of Wall Street", the WSJ reported. The bank did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

Piper Sandler on Tesla: Concerns over brand damage may be overstated Piper Sandler believes fears about Tesla's brand taking a major hit are exaggerated. While Elon Musk’s political behaviour may have slightly affected demand, the larger issue behind Tesla's sharp drop in first-quarter deliveries was supply-side—specifically factory shutdowns that limited Model Y production. The firm notes demand remains strong, and with new products and a robo-taxi launch on the horizon, it maintains an Overweight rating and a $450 price target for the stock. --- Piper Sandler is an US investment bank/financial services firm, This article was written by Eamonn Sheridan at www.forexlive.com.
