Malaysian palm oil price to 26-week high

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian palm oil futures reversed early losses on Thursday, rising more than 1 percent on expectations of positive news from the the European Union's (EU) decision on biodiesel anti-dumping duties.
The benchmark palm oil contract for November delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange rose 1.4 percent to 2,782 ringgit ($661.12).
Traded volumes stood at 57,957 lots of 25 tonnes each at noon.
Palm rose by up to 2,796 ringgit a tonne during intra-day trade, the highest price in six-and-a-half months.
"It is possible the market is bullish about the EU's upcoming decision, expecting a cancellation or deferment of the anti-dumping duties, which would be good for biodiesel exports from Malaysia," a Kuala Lumpur futures trader said.
Palm slid in earlier trade as the market reacted to a strengthening ringgit . The currency has firmed over the past three days, rising 0.68 percent on Thursday and returning to its November levels.
A more expensive ringgit makes palm oil less attractive to foreign buyers of the tropical oil.
Soyoil's steady performance, meanwhile, is expected to suport palm prices.
Palm oil prices are affected by movements in other edible oils that compete for a share in the global vegetable oils market.
MIDF Research said in a report on Thursday strong soybean oil prices should limit the downside for palm oil despite high palm oil inventories.
"Ongoing concern on soybean production has kept the soybean oil price strong at above 35 cents per pound in the CBOT market and this is supportive to palm oil," the report said.
A Reuters poll among planters, analysts and traders showed that Malaysian palm oil August stocks are expected to rise towards the 2 million tonne mark, with output still close to its strongest in two years.
The Malaysian Palm Oil Board is due to release production and export data on Sept. 11.
The soybean oil contract on the Chicago Board of Trade was up 0.9 percent.
The January soybean oil contract on the Dalian Commodity Exchange was down 0.3 percent, while January palm olein fell 0.5 percent. - Reuters

Tropicana shines with 8 wins

By SHAREN KAUR - August 31, 2017 @ 10:18am
THE unique DNA that sets Tropicana Corp Bhd apart from other developers has led to the firm scooping eight awards at the recent PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Malaysia) 2017.

The DNA focuses on accessibility, connectivity, innovative concepts and designs, generous open spaces, amenities, facilities, multi-tiered security and quality.

Tropicana has been innovating and redefining the art of living through the creation of integrated developments by incorporating residential and commercial components to build thriving townships that are well-connected and easily accessible.

Tropicana, which is best known for its Tropicana Golf and Country Resort development in Petaling Jaya, won the Best Developer (Malaysia) award.

PropertyGuru Malaysia chairman Tunku Ali Redhauddin Muhriz presented the award to Tropicana marketing and sales executive director Ung Lay Ting.

Tropicana Residences won two awards for Best Condo Development (Malaysia) and Best Luxury Condo Development (Kuala Lumpur), while Best Green Development was picked by Tropicana Gardens.

Tropicana Aman won Best Housing Development (Kuala Lumpur) and the award for Best Mixed Use Development was won by the Tropicana Metropark integrated community project in Subang.

The developer was also given two special recognitions for corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainable development.

The 35.4ha Tropicana Metropark development, which sits on prime freehold land in the Subang Hi-Tech Industrial Park, offers varied components comprising serviced residences, retail units, business suites, SOHOs (single office home offices), office towers and a mall.

It will have, among others, a 3.7ha central park and a new flyover linking it directly to the Federal Highway.

The design concept for Tropicana Metropark was inspired by the world’s most livable city, Melbourne, and its Yarra River with the holistic influences.

The PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards recognised the year’s most outstanding developments in the residential, commercial and design sectors in Kuala Lumpur, Iskandar and Penang.

A total of 21 awards and special recognitions were presented to 17 shortlisted developers.

In Iskandar Malaysia, Johor, UMLand’s Seri Austin township picked up two awards for Aster 2 — double-storey semi-detached house and the coveted Best Housing Development (Malaysia) title.

The developer also took home an award for Best Condo Development (Iskandar), and was given special recognitions in CSR and sustainable development.

Two separate awards were also presented for Best Mass Market Developments - condo and landed — both of which went to LBS Bina Group Bhd.

Some people here say I repeat. Yes, I do.
What else good or new to say about this company?
PP, also we don't know what's the modus operandi of the company-Buyers behind it!
How to support? How can blindly ask people to buy more?

60 years Merdeka coming Xinghe must up up up.

10-12 sen Hubline Sarawak forever BN.

Hua Ann 10 sen. If Xinghe same I vote BN.

UMW-OG, Dayang even bigger loss. Petronas not giving many O&G contracts under Wan Zulkiflee as CEO. Better give govn RM 3 billion funds to fry stocks instead?

Which stocks to buy for Budget 2017-18 RM 3 billion funds?
1) Stocks near 52 week low(or 20-30% from that level) not bought by any GLICs(EPF, KWAP, PNB, TH, LTAT).
2) If IPO stocks drop over 70% like O&G counters or FGV can govn prop up stocks to abt 50% IPO price?

So MCA votes no hope for BN? What Chinese want to vote again like in 90's? Fry their stocks up like when Dr M was PM. RM 3 billion Petronas dividend money enough? If not enough RM 5-10 billion?

Likening the national football team's win over Myanmar to political cooperation, Najib said it was akin to MIC scoring goals from passes made by Umno.

KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 23): UEM Sunrise Bhd's net profit for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017 increased 73% to RM94.55 million from RM54.66 million a year earlier on the back of a jump in its revenue.
Revenue rose 67% to RM897.8 million from RM537.81 million in the previous corresponding period, thanks to increased property development revenue from the progress made by the group's Residensi 22 project in Mont'Kiara, Teega in Puteri Harbour and Aurora Melbourne Central in Australia.
The group also attributed its improved revenue to the sale of Alderbridge lands in Richmond, Canada, amounting to C$113 million (RM371 million), which was disposed of to South Street Development Group.
The sale, the group said, was in line with its decision not to pursue the development of the Richmond lands, and consolidate efforts and focus on developments in Malaysia and Australia, UEM Sunrise said in a statement today.
Cumulative net profit for the first six months of the year climbed 170% to RM155.82 million, from RM57.68 million in the first half of the previous year. The group attributed this to higher revenue and gains from completed projects' revised cost estimates recognised in the immediate preceding quarter and share of lower profit from joint ventures and associates.
Half-year revenue stood at RM1.44 billion, 81% higher than the RM795.56 million reported previously.
UEM Sunrise managing director and chief executive officer Anwar Syahrin Abdul Ajib said the first-half revenue was the group's best since its listing in 2008.
"Notwithstanding the disposal of our Alderbridge lands in Richmond, Canada, contribution from property development revenue has also improved in view of strong construction progress achieved during the period. We are extremely pleased with these results," he said in a statement.
Property development activities contributed 67% of total revenue during the period, the group said.
Property development sales for the period was RM391.7 million, 46% of which was contributed by the southern region of peninsular Malaysia followed by 32% from the central region, while the remaining 22% was from international projects.
"Sales from projects in the southern region continue to contribute positively, continuing the trend that started in the fourth quarter of 2016. With the right location and product mix, we believe that the market is more receptive on landed mid-market residences," said Anwar Syahrin.
UEM Sunrise expects to continue the positive momentum for the rest of the 2017 with the expected completion of several land sale transactions in the remaining months.
UEM Sunrise share rose eight sen or 7.14% to RM1.20 as at 3.47pm, for a market capitalisation of RM5.22 billion.
