Malaysia's Felda Global Ventures posts 35% rise in profit

Felda Global Ventures, the world's third-largest palm plantation operator, reported a 35 per cent rise in second-quarter earnings, supported by stronger crude palm oil production following moves to boost fruit yields.

The Malaysian firm's net profit rose to RM62.2 million (S$21 million) in the quarter ended June from RM46.1 million in the same period last year.

Revenue eased slightly to RM4.14 billion from RM4.19 billion the previous year.

"Rising commodity prices have provided optimism to the plantation's earnings outlook and we are in a good position to take advantage of the general tightness in supply," Felda Global chief executive Zakaria Arshad said in a statement.

Palm oil output is facing a production squeeze this year due to the ongoing effects of a crop damaging El Nino weather event, which brings hot, dry weather to Southeast Asia and lowers fruit yields.

Australia: Shares edge up amid mixed earnings, Fed uncertainty

Australian shares edged higher on Monday as investors digested a mixed bag of earnings results and the possibility of a United States rate hike before long, while New Zealand stocks continued their ascent to record highs.

Companies in Australia were showing they could cope with a mining downturn. But recent comments from Federal Reserve policymakers indicating a rate hike could come at a September policy meeting kept investors cautious.

After see-sawing between positive and negative territory, the S&P/ASX 200 index was up 5.817 points, or 0.11 per cent, at 0234 GMT.

The benchmark was 0.1 per cent lower last week, the first with annual earnings results.Click Here To Register For Free Trial Services OR Give A Missed Call : +6531581402 Follow Us On Twitter : www.twitter.com/epicresearchsg Like Us On Facebook : www.facebook.com/EpicResearchSingapore Need Any Assistance Feel Free To Mail Us at : info@epicresearch.sg

Europe: Stocks climb at open

European stock markets rose at the start of trading on Thursday, with London's benchmark FTSE 100 index rising 0.2 per cent to 6,873.24 points.

In the eurozone, Frankfurt's DAX 30 won 0.7 per cent to 10,613.08 points and the CAC 40 in Paris gained 0.5 per cent to open at 4,441.20 compared with the close on Wednesday.

The start was in contrast to Tokyo, whose main index slumped Thursday as fading expectations of an imminent Federal Reserve rate hike sparked a rally in the yen against the dollar, hitting exporters including Toyota and Nissan.Click Here To Register For Free Trial Services OR Give A Missed Call : +6531581402 Follow Us On Twitter : www.twitter.com/epicresearchsg Like Us On Facebook : www.facebook.com/EpicResearchSingapore Need Any Assistance Feel Free To Mail Us at : info@epicresearch.sg

Gold Update of 10th aug'2016 BY EPIC RESEARCH

Gold prices closed up modestly on Tuesday as weakness in the U.S. dollar delivered a boost to the yellow metal. 

December gold rose $5.40, or 0.4%, to settle at $1,346.70 an ounce, ending two consecutive sessions of losses for gold.

Technical traders said some short-covering, or buying back borrowed securities to close an open short position, emerged in the futures market to account for some of Tuesday’s rebound.

Gold prices have been subdued since last week’s stronger-than-expected July jobs report pushed down precious metals prices as expectations for a U.S. interest-rate hike in 2016 increased. So far this month, gold futures are off about 0.8%, but year to date are up 27%, underpinned by global economic uncertainty and bets that the rates will stay lower for longer.

The CME Group’s Fed Watch tool, which tracks pricing in short-term interest-rate futures, puts the chance of a rate increase by year-end at about a coin toss. That is up from a 30% chance for such a scenario priced in before last week’s stronger-than-expected July jobs report. Tuesday’s relatively thin economic calendar could extend the wait for fresh, market-moving data.

Meanwhile, new buyers for precious metals have emerged since Friday’s data-induced volatility, analysts said.

“There has been record buying of gold ETFs since Friday and this is sign of a healthy market,” said Maxwell Gold, director of investment strategy for ETF Securities. Some investors see the pullback in prices as a good buying opportunity. According to Gold, new players, such as private wealth managers, are beginning to enter the market, and there is potential for more demand from this group.

The exchange-traded fund SPDR Gold Trust ended 0.4% higher Tuesday, while the silver ETF iShares Silver Trust gained 0.7%.

Stocks to watch: Ezra, Swiber, OUE, CapitaLand, Mapletree Commercial Trust, Frasers Commercial Trust

THE overnight rally on Wall Street may fuel trading activities here on Thursday trading, with trading cues coming from companies releasing their quarterly earnings results and some capital-raising updates.

But it remains to be seen if sentiment hanging over the oil and gas sector will continue to rear its ugly head.

In response to articles saying that Ezra Holdings was looking for fresh capital, the offshore marine company clarified on Wednesday night that it reviews options to preserve value for both the company and its shareholders an ongoing basis and to strengthen its financial position. In relation to this, it holds discussions with parties regarding possible transactions, which may include potential fund raising via new loans, issue of new securities, sale of non-core assets, or refinancing of existing loans.

But no definitive agreements in relation to any transactions have been entered into by the company or its subsidiaries, and there can be no assurance or reasonable certainty that any discussions or prospects will be successfully concluded, Ezra said.
