- Coinbase Global Inc (COIN US) and Riot Blockchain Inc (RIOT US) shares fell 11.4% and 10.1% respectively. Shares of cryptocurrency-related companies sold off as the price of bitcoin and other digital tokens pulled back sharply.

- DocuSign Inc (DOCU US) shares fell again on Monday, shedding 10.3%.

- Dyna-Mac Holdings Ltd (DMHL SP) and RH Petrogas Ltd (RHP SP) shares fell 7.4% and 8.9% respectively yesterday. WTI crude futures fell nearly 2% toward $118 per barrel on Monday, sliding for the third straight session, as investors weighed the prospect of further US interest rate hikes to combat surging inflation and the potential for more Covid curbs in China. US inflation unexpectedly accelerated to a fresh 40-year high of 8.6% last month, raising the likelihood of more aggressive rate hikes from the Federal Reserve. US gasoline prices also averaged more than $5 a gallon for the first time on Saturday, extending a surge in fuel costs that is driving rising inflation. Goldman Sachs reiterated on Friday that energy prices need to rally further before achieving the demand destruction required for market rebalancing. Meanwhile, major Chinese cities are still battling against rising virus cases as the world’s biggest crude importer navigates a bumpy return from lockdowns.
- Top Glove Corp (TOPG SP) shares extended their losses and declined 8.3% yesterday. Top Glove, the world’s largest medical glove maker, posted a 98.6% drop in quarterly profit due to weaker demand for its products and higher production costs. The Malaysian firm, which saw profits and demand surge during the COVID-19 pandemic, has also deferred and reduced its capital expenditure for the near term due to moderating demand.
- Geo Energy Resources Ltd (GERL SP) and Golden Energy & Resources Ltd (GER SP) shares lost 4.9% and 8.3% respectively yesterday. Newcastle coal futures, the benchmark for top consuming region Asia, consolidated around the $400-per-tonne mark and just 35 dollars shy of its record peak, supported by continued robust demand against a tightening market backdrop. Along with increasing demand for power generation with a resumption in economic activity after the coronavirus-induced slump, soaring natural gas prices in Europe and Asia in late 2021 boosted coal consumption. On top of that, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the unprecedented economic sanctions, including the EU’s ban on oil and coal imports from Russia, have thrown the global energy market into chaos.
