8:59 AM 9/28 PT Barito Pacific Tbk (BRPT), parent company that is controlled by Indonesian businessman Prajogo Pangestu, recorded a 807.6% jump in net profit during the first half of this year. Barito posted Rp226.4 billion net profit in 1H 2011 from Rp24.9 billion in 1H 2010. The steep jump was underpinned by profit before tax that rose 87.9% to Rp353.8 billion from Rp188.3 billion. Barito's revenue increased 13.9% to Rp10 trillion from Rp8.8 trillion. Petrochemical unit contributed 99.5% of Barito's consolidated revenue, while the remaining was supported by forestry, plantation, and property. "The achievement showed that our business remains robust, despite concern on the global economies jittery," said SVP Investor Relations Agustino Sudjono in a press statement today.

9:01 AM 9/28 Jakarta - Beredar kabar di kalangan pelaku pasar modal bahwa salah satu perusahaan keuangan asing sedang bernegosiasi dengan pihak Panin Insurance (PNIN) untuk membeli 11% kepemilikan sahamnya. Investor itu disebut-sebut Crystal Chain Holdings Ltd. yang sebelumnya memiliki 7% saham PNIN. Rencana penambahan porsi kepemilikan sempat tertunda sebelumnya, namun salah satu sumber mengatakan bahwa dalam waktu dekat ini pihak PNIN dan Crystal Chain Holdings Ltd. akan “ketok palu” pada penawaran harga premium di level Rp 1000. Dengan pertimbangan inilah diproyeksikan harga PNIN akan melesat ke level Rp 1000 dalam waktu dekat. Pada perdagangan Selasa (27/9) kemarin, PNIN ditutup di level Rp 490, atau naik 80 poin (19,51%). Volume transaksi tercatat sebesar Rp 2.21 miliar,

0050 GMT [Dow Jones] The HSI may rise, after gains on Wall Street, but any upside is likely to be capped around 18,300, as sentiment is expected to remain cautious after the index's sharp gains Tuesday, says Castor Pang, head of research at Core Pacific-Yamaichi. "Tuesday's gains were mostly supported by short-covering activities, after the recent sharp falls in the local bourse." He tips China banks may outperform the broader market as the sector is expected to be less affected by the prevailing concerns over Europe. He expects gold miner stocks could also gain some interest after gold prices snapped a four-session losing streak. The HSI ended up 4.2% at 18,130.55 Tuesday; it is down 11.7% month-to-Tuesday. (susanna.tai@dowjones.com)

[Dow Jones] The Nikkei Stock Average is up 0.6% at 8661.01 after opening in negative territory. But the index lacks direction as investors avoid making big bets before confirming further developments in the ongoing Greek debt saga, says Shigeo Sugawara, senior investment manager at Sompo Japan Nipponkoa Asset Management. "The market wants actions, results, not just speculations that something might or might not happen," he says, noting that Germany's vote on the euro-zone rescue fund on Thursday represents the key event to watch this week. He pegs the Nikkei's range at 8600-8700 for the day. 27/33 Topix subindexes are higher, with heavyweights Softbank (9984.TO) up 3.0% at Y2,197, Fanuc (6954.TO) up 1.7% at Y10,950, and Daikin Industries (6367.TO) up 3.9% at Y2,266. Several high-profile exporters are outperforming, helped by euro strength. Olympus (7733.TO) is up 1.5% at Y2,430 and Sony (6758.TO) is up 1.5% at Y1,497. (judy.lam@dowjones.com)

[Dow Jones] China shares may fall slightly following gains on Tuesday amid tight liquidity at the end of 3Q, and as investors adopt a wait-and-see attitude ahead of the week-long National Day holiday beginning October 1. The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index is likely to remain weak and fluctuate around the 2400 level after rising 0.9% to 2415.05 Tuesday, says Shenyin Wanguo Securities analyst Qian Qimin. "With the end of the third quarter this weekend, banks are working to meet deposit requirements and diverting capital from the stock market." The Shenzhen index ended up 0.4% at 1047.68. (andrew.galbraith@dowjones.com)

[Dow Jones] Singapore shares have a positive offshore lead after stronger U.S. stocks Tuesday, but any gains are likely to be capped as U.S. stocks ended well off their highs on concerns over the Greece bailout; the STI's sharp rise Tuesday, ending up 2.7% at 2725.91, may also inspire some profit taking, following the recent theme of market rebounds being met with selling. "Continuing the pattern of heavier volumes during plunges compared to rebounds, it is hard to envisage (Tuesday's) market strength going beyond the old 2750 support (turned resistance) area in the final days of this quarter, coinciding with U.S. fiscal year-end," says AmFraser's Najeeb Jarhom. He adds "the persistent downtrend and the fact that the 20% threshold (2651) of a bear market definition has been crossed, make traders wary of chasing prices lest they get caught again like in mid-August and towards end-August." In corporate news, SembCorp Industries (U96.SG) is seeking to expand its Liaoning utilities projects, while Tiger Airways (J7X.SG) meets no Australian regulatory opposition to its proposed right issue. (matthew.allen@dowjones.com)

[Dow Jones] The Kospi is being driven higher in early trade by shipbuilder shares following their recent underperformance, while large-cap techs are mostly on the rise on dip-buying; the market is up 0.9% at 1752.04. Analysts, however, expect the Kospi to remain volatile for the day with any sharp gains likely capped by ongoing concerns over Europe's sovereign debt problems; the focus will be on whether the index stays above the 1750 mark. With key countries still unable to show a unified position to resolve Europe's debt crisis, investors are still wary despite the Kospi's sharp 5% gain yesterday, says Daishin Securities analyst Choi Jai-sic. But he expects the recent fall in the local currency to have a positive impact long term impact on the nation's key exporters such as techs. Among shipbuilders, Hyundai Heavy (009540.SE) is up 2.1% KRW269,000 and Samsung Heavy (010140.SE) is 3.6% higher at KRW27,300. In the tech space, Samsung Electronics (005930.SE) advances 1.2% to KRW814,000. (min-jeong.lee@dowjones.com)

 [Dow Jones] Precious metals are trading lower on profit-taking and a stronger USD. While analysts maintain their medium-to-long-term bullish outlook on gold, some analysts say that over the next week or two, the metal could pullback towards $1,600/oz before starting to move towards $1,775/oz. However, the downside is likely to be limited as physical demand for gold continues to be strong, especially in Asia. A strong USD is another headwind as dollar-denominated commodities appear costlier to holders of other currencies when the USD strengthens. The EUR/USD is at 1.3567 vs 1.3584 late Tuesday in New York. Spot gold is at $1,640/oz, down $9.70, silver is at $31.63/oz, down 25 cents, platinum is at $1,548/oz, down $5 and palladium is at $642/oz, down $4 from its previous close.
