- First Resources Ltd (FR SP) and Golden Agri-Resources Ltd (GGR SP) shares fell 4.0% and 1.9% respectively yesterday. Malaysian palm oil futures tumbled below the MYR 4,000-per-tonne mark, closing in on its lowest level since June 2021, amid rising inventories, weak export demand from Malaysia, and increasing production from top producer Indonesia. On top of that, Malaysia’s palm oil stocks in end-June rose to their highest in seven months while production climbed 5.8% to 1.55 million tonnes, also at a seven-month high. Rising output from Indonesia is also adding to the bearish outlook.
- Rex International Holding Ltd (REXI SP) shares fell 6.1% yesterday. Oil edged up on Wednesday, a day after settling below $100 a barrel for the first time since April, and gains were limited by a U.S. supply report showing rising inventories and caution ahead of U.S. inflation data. Despite a tight physical oil market, investors have sold oil futures on worries that aggressive rate hikes to stem inflation will slow economic growth and hit oil demand. Renewed COVID-19 curbs in China have weighed on the market this week.
- Golden Energy & Resources Ltd (GER SP) and Geo Energy Resources Ltd (GERL SP) shares fell 6.5% and 4.1% respectively yesterday. China’s coal imports fell 33% in June from a year ago, with traders turning down expensive overseas cargoes in favour of domestic ones with capped prices as COVID-19 restrictions and higher renewables output dented demand for coal-fired power. China imported 18.98 million tonnes of coal last month, compared to 28.93 million tonnes in June 2021, data from the General Administration of Customs showed on Wednesday. The decline in coal imports came after Beijing’s rigorous regulation of domestic coal prices. It capped thermal coal with a heating value of 5,500 kilocalories at northern Chinese ports at 770 yuan ($114.60) a tonne under long-term contracts and at around 1,200 yuan for spot shipments.
