Market turbulence
Markets look set to remain turbulent in the coming week with investors focused on the Fed and earnings.

In a continuation of the tech selloff that has pushed the Nasdaq into correction territory, Wall Street’s main indexes closed sharply lower on Friday. The S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq posted their largest weekly percentage declines since the start of the pandemic in March 2020.

Tech companies largely benefitted during the pandemic and saw their shares soar over the last two years.

But tech and growth stocks have been hard hit since the start of 2022 by a rapid rise in Treasury yields on the back of expectations that the Fed will hike interest rates aggressively to combat high inflation.

Higher rates can hurt tech companies with high valuations based on the prospect of future profits.

Pfizer Inc chief executive Albert Bourla said on Saturday that an annual Covid-19 vaccine would be preferable to more frequent booster shots in fighting the coronavirus pandemic.

Pfizer-BioNtech’s Covid-19 vaccine has shown to be effective against severe disease and death caused by the heavily-mutated Omicron variant but less effective in preventing transmission.

With cases soaring, some countries have expanded Covid-19 vaccine booster programmes or shortened the gap between shots as governments scramble to shore up protection.

In an interview with Israel’s N12 News, Bourla was asked whether he sees booster shots being administered every four to five months on a regular basis.

“This will not be a good scenario. What I’m hoping (is) that we will have a vaccine that you will have to do once a year,” Bourla said.

“Once a year – it is easier to convince people to do it. It is easier for people to remember.

“So from a public health perspective, it is an ideal situation. We are looking to see if we can create a vaccine that covers Omicron and doesn’t forget the other variants and that could be a solution,” Bourla said.

Bourla has said Pfizer could be ready to file for approval for a redesigned vaccine to fight Omicron, and mass produce it, as soon as March.

Citing three studies, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday that a third dose of an mRNA vaccine is key to fighting Omicron, providing 90% protection against hospitalisation.

A preliminary study published by Israel’s Sheba Medical Center on Monday found that a fourth shot increases antibodies to even higher levels than the third but was likely not enough to fend off Omicron. Nonetheless, a second booster was still advised for risk groups, Sheba said.

KUALA LUMPUR: SMTrack Bhd is leading a consortium of six listed firms to invest in a 5G venture via 5G Infratech Solutions Sdn Bhd.

It is learnt that the consortium will provide funding for the planned capital-intensive 5G venture.

Besides SMTrack, other consortium parrtners are Country Heights Holdings Bhd, Jiankun International Bhd, Sersol Bhd, Techna-X Bhd and MQ Technology Bhd.

The companies are scheduled to sign a heads of agreement on the venture later this morning.

Through the government plan on the national 5G rollout, the consortium - via 5G Infratech - was looking at a joint venture with a strategic target company in the telecommunications sector, sources said.

The target company, which is mainly involved in the construction and engineering of telecommunication infrastructure including 5G rollout, is expected to formalise the paperwork with the consortium at about 10.30am today.

They will jointly collaborate and fulfill the government's aspiration to drive the development and roll out of 5G infrastructure network.

"The consortium will be either holding a substantial stake in the target company or provide initial and subsequent funding in rolling out of 5G network," a source said.

Meanwhile, last Thursday, Datuk Seri Tan Choon Hwa bought an extra five million shares in SMTrack from an open market, reaffirming him as as substantial shareholder of the company with 35.5 million shares or 5.5 per cent of its issued shares.

Another director, Datuk Wira Justin Lim Hwa Tat, was expected to follow suit early next week according to a person close to the deal.

The buying is necessary to regain control over voting rights after their shareholdings were diluted to below five per cent pursuant to an enlargement of SMTrack's share capital arising from the conversion of redeemable convertible notes.

On Jan 6, Tan surfaced as the radio frequency identification solutions company's new substantial shareholder, after raising his stake to 5.4 per cent from 3.16 per cent previously.

The next day, Lim - who is managing director of Sersol - emerged as a new substantial shareholder after acquiring 29 million shares or 5.14 per cent stake via an open market.

On the same day, Tan and Lim were appointed as directors of SMTrack.

SMTrack, which was the second most actively traded stock on Friday, saw 169.2 million shares traded.

It closed unchanged at 29 sen after staging a sharp rebound towards the closing.

SMTrack has risen from 16 sen when Tan Sri Lee Kim Yew, who is the founder and executive chairman of Country Heights group, emerged as a substantial shareholder on Dec 29 2021, after acquiring 28.5 million shares or a 5.05 per cent stake on the open market.
