NEW YORK (Reuters) - Oil prices rose more than 2% on Thursday, turning positive as OPEC and its allies said the producer group would crack down on countries that failed to comply with output cuts and planned to hold an extraordinary meeting in October if oil markets weaken further.
After falling early in the session amid bearish jobs numbers and a ramp up in Gulf of Mexico oil output following Hurricane Sally, crude benchmarks reversed course to gain on the day, bolstered by comments from OPEC.
"Although no amendments to the current supply-cut deal have been proposed by OPEC+ today, the producers group gave the impression that it does not sweep troubles under the carpet," said Rystad Energy's Head of Oil Markets, Bjornar Tonhaugen.
Brent oil futures extended gains to settle up $1.08 or 2.56% at $43.30 a barrel. U.S. crude futures settled higher by 81 cents, or 2.02% at $40.97 a barrel. Both contracts rose more than 4% on Wednesday.
The panel of major producers, including Saudi Arabia and Russia, did not recommend any changes to their current output reduction target of 7.7 million barrels per day (bpd), or around 8% of global demand, according to a draft press release and an internal report.
The panel pressed laggards such as Iraq, Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates to cut more barrels to compensate for overproduction in May-July, while extending the compensation period from September to the end of December, according to three OPEC+ sources.
"They were coming down hard on the UAE," said Phil Flynn, senior analyst at Price Futures Group in New York. The expectation that output could fall as the UAE and others trim production bolstered prices, he said.
The OPEC news overshadowed the restart of U.S. offshore production after Hurricane Sally passed through the Gulf of Mexico and bearish U.S. economic news.
U.S. energy companies were starting to return crews to offshore oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico after Sally halted operations for five days, shutting down nearly 500,000 bpd of output.
Prices were also under pressure from the slow economic recovery from the pandemic.
Global coronavirus cases are expected to pass 30 million on Thursday, according to a Reuters tally.
The U.S. Labor Department's report showed the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits fell last week, but remained at extremely high levels as the labor market recovery shifts into low gear and consumer spending cools.
Even OPEC+ cautioned that the pandemic could continue to curb demand. An OPEC+ technical panel warned that a rise in coronavirus cases in some countries may curb oil demand despite signs of economic recovery and initial indications of a decline in oil stocks, according to an internal document seen by Reuters.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Oil prices rose more than 2% on Thursday, turning positive as OPEC and its allies said the producer group would crack down on countries that failed to comply with output cuts and planned to hold an extraordinary meeting in October if oil markets weaken further.
After falling early in the session amid bearish jobs numbers and a ramp up in Gulf of Mexico oil output following Hurricane Sally, crude benchmarks reversed course to gain on the day, bolstered by comments from OPEC.
"Although no amendments to the current supply-cut deal have been proposed by OPEC+ today, the producers group gave the impression that it does not sweep troubles under the carpet," said Rystad Energy's Head of Oil Markets, Bjornar Tonhaugen.
Brent oil futures extended gains to settle up $1.08 or 2.56% at $43.30 a barrel. U.S. crude futures settled higher by 81 cents, or 2.02% at $40.97 a barrel. Both contracts rose more than 4% on Wednesday.
The panel of major producers, including Saudi Arabia and Russia, did not recommend any changes to their current output reduction target of 7.7 million barrels per day (bpd), or around 8% of global demand, according to a draft press release and an internal report.
The panel pressed laggards such as Iraq, Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates to cut more barrels to compensate for overproduction in May-July, while extending the compensation period from September to the end of December, according to three OPEC+ sources.
"They were coming down hard on the UAE," said Phil Flynn, senior analyst at Price Futures Group in New York. The expectation that output could fall as the UAE and others trim production bolstered prices, he said.
The OPEC news overshadowed the restart of U.S. offshore production after Hurricane Sally passed through the Gulf of Mexico and bearish U.S. economic news.
U.S. energy companies were starting to return crews to offshore oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico after Sally halted operations for five days, shutting down nearly 500,000 bpd of output.
Prices were also under pressure from the slow economic recovery from the pandemic.
Global coronavirus cases are expected to pass 30 million on Thursday, according to a Reuters tally.
The U.S. Labor Department's report showed the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits fell last week, but remained at extremely high levels as the labor market recovery shifts into low gear and consumer spending cools.
Even OPEC+ cautioned that the pandemic could continue to curb demand. An OPEC+ technical panel warned that a rise in coronavirus cases in some countries may curb oil demand despite signs of economic recovery and initial indications of a decline in oil stocks, according to an internal document seen by Reuters.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Oil prices rose more than 2% on Thursday, turning positive as OPEC and its allies said the producer group would crack down on countries that failed to comply with output cuts and planned to hold an extraordinary meeting in October if oil markets weaken further.
After falling early in the session amid bearish jobs numbers and a ramp up in Gulf of Mexico oil output following Hurricane Sally, crude benchmarks reversed course to gain on the day, bolstered by comments from OPEC.
"Although no amendments to the current supply-cut deal have been proposed by OPEC+ today, the producers group gave the impression that it does not sweep troubles under the carpet," said Rystad Energy's Head of Oil Markets, Bjornar Tonhaugen.
Brent oil futures extended gains to settle up $1.08 or 2.56% at $43.30 a barrel. U.S. crude futures settled higher by 81 cents, or 2.02% at $40.97 a barrel. Both contracts rose more than 4% on Wednesday.
The panel of major producers, including Saudi Arabia and Russia, did not recommend any changes to their current output reduction target of 7.7 million barrels per day (bpd), or around 8% of global demand, according to a draft press release and an internal report.
The panel pressed laggards such as Iraq, Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates to cut more barrels to compensate for overproduction in May-July, while extending the compensation period from September to the end of December, according to three OPEC+ sources.
"They were coming down hard on the UAE," said Phil Flynn, senior analyst at Price Futures Group in New York. The expectation that output could fall as the UAE and others trim production bolstered prices, he said.
The OPEC news overshadowed the restart of U.S. offshore production after Hurricane Sally passed through the Gulf of Mexico and bearish U.S. economic news.
U.S. energy companies were starting to return crews to offshore oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico after Sally halted operations for five days, shutting down nearly 500,000 bpd of output.
Prices were also under pressure from the slow economic recovery from the pandemic.
Global coronavirus cases are expected to pass 30 million on Thursday, according to a Reuters tally.
The U.S. Labor Department's report showed the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits fell last week, but remained at extremely high levels as the labor market recovery shifts into low gear and consumer spending cools.

Ekovest - Bandar Malaysia boost market value by RM4.5 billion or RM1.70/share

https://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/alpha_return_hedge/2020-09-16-story-h1513524926-Ekovest_Bandar_Malaysia_boost_market_value_by_RM4_5_billion_or_RM1_70_s.jsp

According to Tan Sri Lim Kang Hoo, Ekovest is expected to pay RM1.5bn for the proposed 40% acquisition in IWH-CREC Sdn Bhd (IWH). Then with the appointment of CIMB and the international tranche to Chinese investors via ICBC, Bank of China and Citic, he plans to list IWH in the 1st half of 2021 to raise at least RM5bn (source: The Star).

Now the calculation. For IPO, usually 30% is raised from IPO proceeds (estimated at RM5bn) and this means IWH is worth RM15bn.

Hence, Ekovest's 40% stake in IWH will be valued at RM6bn (40% of RM15bn). That's why no problems for Ekovest to raise financing to buy initial 40% stake in IWH as Ekovest will secure the financing (back to back arrangement) from CIMB, ICBC, Bank of China and Citic.

The 40% stake of RM6bn - cost of purchase of RM1.5bn translates to an increase in Ekovest's market value to RM4.5bn or RM1.70 per share in Ekovest.

The bottom line is Ekovest is a screaming buy at current levels and don't let anyone tell you otherwise as the numbers don't lie.

For stocks less than RM1, a 30 sen limit up or down is allowed.
And for stocks which are valued at above RM1, they have a 30% limit up and limit down.

Who said tommorrow limit up is just RM0.88 nia and cannot break above RM1.00 ?
So, can morning sesssion hit limit up and closed at RM0.88 ,then afternoon session
spike up another 12 cents + another 30 cents (30% hit limit up) !
So, tommorow Ekovest can spike up RM0.88 + RM0.12 + RM0.30 = RM1.30 !
And Friday might have another round of limit up to break above RM2.00 !

Huat ah ! Heng ah Ong ah !

Walaoeh, like that Ekovest share price definitely will be same level with Topglove & Supermax already lah !
Break above RM28++ and the split it by give bonus issue of 1:3

Don't know how many time Topglove break above RM20++ and giving bonus issue already !
So, Ekovest is a blue chip stock, just keep forever & don't simply sell it off, if not you will regret !
Just keep it till your old age for retirement & when you old time, let say if you just bought only a 1,000 Ekovest share for RM580, in future your RM580 may laying golden eggs for you by giving bonus issues to you like Topglove did !
So, till your old time, your RM580 may return you with a RM5.8 million ringgit !

Huat ah ! Heng ah ! Ong ah !

Oh My goodness !
Such a beautiful day today and such a good news today evening !
Biggest IPO ever of 5 billion Ringgit Malaysia !
Can't wait to see Ekovest how many time limit up on Thursday already lah !

Huat ah ! Heng ah ! Ong ah !
