JAKARTA - Potensi pelemahan Indeks Harga Saham Gabungan (IHSG) masih membayangi perdagangan kali ini. Selain karena libur panjang Lebaran yang bakal datang, harga sejumlah saham juga tampaknya sudah cukup mahal."Selain placement beberapa saham yang turut memberikan sentimen negatif secara psikologis terhadap pasar, kami juga melihat indikasi investor mulai melakukan pelepasan portofolio mereka sebagai antisipasi libur panjang lebaran pekan depan," jelas analis Panin Sekuritas Purwoko Sartono kepada okezone di Jakarta.
Dia juga menilai jika bursa regional tampaknya masih belum kondusif. Alhasil, investor tampaknya masih akan memilih keluar dari pasar. "Kondisi bursa regional yang boleh dikatakan belum kondusif, menyebabkan investor memilih mengamankan terlebih dahulu keuntungan yang mereka peroleh," imbuhnya.

Aug 30  - Japan's Nikkei average rose 3 percent on Monday after the yen slipped as the Bank of Japan began an emergency policy meeting and after revised second quarter U.S. GDP was less gloomy than expected.
Expectations that steps by Japanese authorities aimed at stemming strength in the yen led to short-covering, particularly in shares of exporters, though gains could lose steam if there are no major surprises from the BOJ meeting, market players said.
The benchmark Nikkei .N225 gained 267.25 points to 9,258.31, after rising 1 percent on Friday.
The broader Topix .TOPX added 2.3 percent to 838.50.

Aug 24- Japan's Sumitomo Trust and Banking (8403.T) said on Tuesday that its shareholders would get 1.49 shares of Chuo Mitsui Trust Holdings (8309.T) for each Sumitomo share in their planned merger scheduled for April.
The combined firm, to be named Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Holdings, will aim for a net profit of 220 billion yen ($2.6 billion) in the year ending in March 2016, up from 125 billion yen estimated for the current financial year.
The banks said they have signed a final agreement to combine their operations in April 2011, creating Japan's largest trust banks with a scale to better compete in a crowded asset management industry. The merger plan was announced in November. (Reporting by Taiga Uranaka; Editing by Chris Gallagher)

Aug 23 - Westpac Banking Corp (WBC.AX), Australia's second biggest home loan lender, said on Monday its third-quarter cash profit grew 27.3 percent, just short of expectations, due to rising funding costs.
Westpac, which has the highest mortgage rate among Australia's top four banks, said its April-June cash profit was A$1.4 billion ($1.25 billion), up from A$1.1 billion reported a year ago.
Six analysts on average forecast a A$1.5 billion profit.
Australian banks emerged from the global financial crisis stronger than their overseas peers but now face the challenge of weak loan demand, falling fees and rising funding costs.
They are well capitalised though as bad debts are falling and are sitting on record amounts of capital that should position them well to cope with regulatory changes.
Westpac shares have fallen about 10.5 percent so far this year, compared with a 9 percent fall for the benchmark index .AXJO. (Reporting by Narayanan Somasundaram; Editing by Balazs Koranyi)

Aug 18  - China Everbright Bank 601818.SS opened at 3.37 yuan ($0.50) on its first day of trade in Shanghai on Wednesday, up 8.7 percent from its IPO price of 3.10 yuan.
Analysts surveyed by Reuters estimated Everbright shares would rise up to 5 percent on their first day of trade, as renewed worries over the banking sector's health sap some demand among investors towards China's No. 11 lender. [ID:nTOE67F082]
Everbright Bank could raise as much as 21.7 billion yuan in China's second-biggest IPO this year if it exercises a greenshoe, or over-allotment option.
The mid-sized lender sold 6.1 billion shares in the offering, which could be expanded to 7 billion shares with the over-allotment.

Aug 17  - New Zealand's largest casino operator Sky City Entertainment Group Ltd. (SKC.NZ) reported a 11.5 percent decrease in full year net profit on Tuesday, and said earnings would continue to be hit by an uncertain economy.
Sky City made a net profit of NZ$102 million ($71.8 million) in the year ended June 30, compared with a NZ$115.3 million profit the year before.
On June 22 the company said it expected reported net profit to be between NZ$136 million and NZ$140 million, and adjusted profit between NZ$126 million and NZ$130 million, in the wake of tax changes announced in the government's May budget. [ID:nWLF004693]
Sky City said profit before the tax adjustment was NZ$141.7 million, including the NZ$10 million gain on the sale of its cinema chain.
Normalised for all one-off items Sky City said its profit was NZ$129.1 million.
At its profit result in August 2009, Sky City had said it expected double digit earnings growth in the June 2010 year after a refurbishment at its flagship Auckland casino, and strong performance from its Australian operations.
Sky City declared a dividend of 9.5 cents per share, compared with 6.5 cents per share last year.
Shares in Sky City closed on Monday at NZ$2.99 having dropped around 9 percent so far this year, compared with a 6.4 percent fall in the benchmark NZSX-50 index .NZ50.
Sky City owns or has an interest in four casinos in New Zealand, where a ban on new casinos has given it dominance.
It also has casinos in Adelaide and Darwin in Australia, where it competes with Tabcorp (TAH.AX) and Crown Ltd (CWN.AX). (NZ$1=$1.42)

Aug 10 - The Bank of Japan kept interest rates steady and held off on new policy steps on Tuesday, saving its limited policy options for when yen rises accelerate enough to damage a fragile economic recovery.
As widely expected, the central bank kept interest rates at 0.1 percent in a unanimous vote.
The BOJ also kept its economic assessment unchanged and said that the central bank needed to watch how fiscal problems in some European countries could, through developments in global financial markets, affect the Japanese and global economies.
Governor Masaaki Shirakawa will hold an embargoed news conference later on Tuesday, with his comments expected to come out sometime after 4:15 p.m. (0715 GMT).
Signs of U.S. economic weakness have pushed the dollar/yen rate within reach of levels not seen in 15 years, clouding the outlook for Japan's export-reliant growth and putting pressure on the BOJ to loosen its already very easy monetary policy.
Analysts had expected the BOJ to hold off on easing policy unless the yen headed for the all-time high of 79.75 per dollar at a pace fast enough to damage business sentiment.
The BOJ has kept interest rates at 0.1 percent since late 2008. In the wake of sharp yen gains, it eased monetary policy last December by setting up a facility offering cheap funds to banks, which was expanded in March. (Reporting by Leika Kihara; Editing by Edmund Klamann)

July 30  - KT Corp (030200.KS), South Korea's top fixed-line operator and No. 2 mobile carrier, reported a 24 percent rise in quarterly operating profit, helped by healthy customer demand for its smartphone and Internet TV services.
KT, the exclusive seller of Apple's (AAPL.O) iPhone in the South Korean market, reported a 601.4 billion won ($507.3 million) operating profit in the three months to June. Analysts had forecast a profit of 599 billion won, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
In the second quarter of last year, KT reported an operating profit of 483.4 billion won on a proforma basis, assuming the acquisition of its mobile business was completed in January 2009. KT earned a net profit of 372.5 billion won in the first quarter. (Reporting by Seo Jiwon, Editing by Jonathan Hopfner)

TOKYO July 29 (Reuters) - Panasonic Corp (6752.T) plans to acquire the shares it does not already own in Sanyo Electric Co (6764.T) and Panasonic Electric Works Co Ltd (6991.T), four sources with knowledge of the matter said.
Panasonic currently owns 50 percent in Sanyo, a maker of solar cells and rechargeable batteries, and 51 percent of Panasonic Electric Works, a maker of housing materials and lighting equipment.
Based on current market prices, acquiring the shares it does not own would cost Panasonic about 720 billion yen ($8.23 billion). Placing a typical premium could lift the value of the deal to around 900 billion yen.
Panasonic could make an offical announcement of its plans this week, the sources said, speaking on condition of anonymity. (Additional reporting by Reiji Murai; editing by Elaine Hardcastle)

July 20  - The People's Bank of China fixed the yuan's daily mid-point CNY=SAEC lower at 6.7812 versus the dollar on Tuesday after a weaker-than-expected fixing on Monday had already sparked worries over a possible halt of yuan appreciation in some parts of the market.

Since the PBOC announced a depegging of the yuan against the dollar on June 19, the Chinese central bank has kept a tight grip on the yuan's movements against the U.S. currency, with the yuan rising only 0.66 percent.
However, Beijing has apparently quickened the pace of internationalising the Chinese currency on other fronts.
China took a big step in that direction on Monday, tweaking rules to allow the sale of yuan-denominated financial products in Hong Kong and giving companies greater access to yuan funds. [ID:nTOE66I02Q]
China has also used yuan trade settlement as a starting point to gradually internationalise the currency. The PBOC recently said it was extending the yuan trade settlement scheme to all overseas nations and regions.
The Chinese central bank issues mid-point data through the Shanghai-based interbank market, the China Foreign Exchange Trade System (CFETS), on the market's website, www.chinamoney.com.cn.

BEIJING, May 27  - China remains committed to its long-standing goal of diversifying it foreign exchange reserves, a government official told Reuters on Thursday.
The official, who is familiar with how the country manages its $2.4 trillion of reserves, said the direction of diversification "will not change", when asked about a report that China was reviewing its euro zone bond holdings. [ID:nN26249716]
Over the past few years, when China mentioned diversification, it was often interpreted as referring to its objective of reducing exposure to the dollar by investing more in other currencies, such as the euro.
Bankers and analysts say that at the margins China has been shifting some of its currency reserves, the world's largest, into a wider range of currencies in recent months, including assets elsewhere in Asia and in commodity-producing countries.

FRANKFURT, Feb 2  - Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE) has launched a 300 million euro ($417.4 million) fund to support small and mid-sized German companies with low-cost equity they can use to weather the financial crisis. The fund -- for which Germany's flagship lender is still seeking additional partners -- is supposed to start up this quarter with the goal of helping companies that have annual sales of up to 100 million euros, the bank said on Tuesday.
The fund will be administered by M Cap Finance and provide financing tranches of 2-10 million euros in the form of non-voting certificates.
Deutsche Bank Chef Executive Josef Ackermann floated the idea for the fund in December amid criticism that banks were lending too little to small companies -- known here as the Mittelstand -- pummeled by the global financial crisis.
Carmaker Daimler (DAIGn.DE) is among the companies reviewing whether to join the fund.
