Singapore
- Kim Heng Ltd (KHOM SP) shares rose 14.4% yesterday. The Board of Directors announced on 31 May after trading hours that Credence Capital Fund II (Cayman) Limited is currently evaluating divestment options in relation to its shareholding in the Company. The evaluation and all and any discussions are still preliminary and there is no definitive transaction in relation to Credence’s shareholding in the Company.
- COSCO Shipping International Singapore Co Ltd (COS SP) and Marco Polo Marine Ltd (MPM SP) shares rose 3.0% and 3.4% respectively yesterday. There was no company-specific news, however the gain was likely due to the reopening news of Shanghai and Beijing. Major Chinese cities Beijing and Shanghai began to relax Covid controls over the weekend as the local case count dropped. In Beijing, major shopping centres, including a luxury mall that temporarily closed a month ago due to Covid, announced they would reopen as of Sunday. Ride-hailing and most public transport resumed in the main business area, while more people were allowed to return to work. Some libraries, museums and gyms could reopen at half their capacity, if no Covid cases were found in the past seven days at a community level.
- Rex International Holding Ltd (REXI SP) and RH Petrogas Ltd (RHP SP) shares lost 3.0% and 5.3% respectively yesterday. Crude oil futures were higher in mid-morning Asian trade on June 1 as investors looked past recent bearish reports of Russia being excluded from an OPEC+ production deal to refocus back on an oil market that remained severely undersupplied. The contract later gave up all its gains to end the day lower on media reports citing OPEC delegates stating Russia may be exempted from production targets under the so-called OPEC+ group, paving the way for other members to potentially raise output. The group is slated to meet on June 2 to discuss its July production targets, and most market watchers had expected it to maintain its path of gradually winding down its output cuts in 432,000 b/d monthly increments.
