5) BNM
At the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting today, Bank Negara Malaysia decided to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3.25 percent. Overall growth continues to be underpinned by domestic demand. Headline inflation averaged at 2% in April and May. Going forward, headline inflation is expected to be higher following the impact of the GST and the recent adjustments to domestic fuel prices, before moderating towards the second half of 2016.  At the current level of the OPR, the stance of monetary policy remains accommodative and supportive of economic activity. The MPC recognises that there are heightened risks to global growth and financial conditions .
 
6) Market:  With the rebound today the KLCI looks to have set a short term bottom but further upside is likely to be dictated by direction of the China markets and Greece developments.
