Stocks Close at Record Highs as Spread of Coronavirus Seen Slowing

https://www.google.com.my/amp/s/www.thestreet.com/.amp/markets/dow-sets-record-stocks-rise-as-coronavirus-spread-slowing

BY JOSEPH WOELFEL , UPDATED: FEB 12, 2020 1:30 PM EST | ORIGINAL: FEB 12, 2020

The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq close at all-time highs as the number of new coronavirus infections slows.
1.
2. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed at all-time highs after China said the number of new coronavirus infections slowed to the lowest rate in nearly two weeks.
3. Coronavirus update: 1,118 deaths, 45,206 infected.
4. BP is Real Money's Stock of the Day. The European oil giant has set a "net zero" target for emissions by 2050.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed at all-time highs Wednesday after China said the number of new coronavirus infections slowed to the lowest rate in nearly two weeks.
The Dow finished up 275.08 points, or 0.94%, to 29,551.42, the S&P 500 rose 0.65% to 3,379.45, and the Nasdaq closed up 0.90% to 9,725.96.
The three exchanges all set intraday highs as well.

The coronavirus outbreak -- the World Health Organization said the official name for the disease caused by the new coronavirus is Covid-19 -- has killed 1,118 people and infected more than 45,200.
But the rate of infections is slowing according to China's National Health Commission, which was hopeful that the spread of the virus around China, the world's second-largest economy, has peaked.
The broader impact of the virus on China's growth, as well as its influence on economies around the world, has yet to be quantified, however.

"We are closely monitoring the emergence of the coronavirus, which could lead to disruptions in China that spill over to the rest of the global economy," Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell told the House Financial Services Committee on Tuesday, adding that there will "very likely be some effects on the United States." He told the Senate Banking Committee on Wednesday that the Fed should have an idea how much the outbreak has impacted the U.S. economy “fairly soon.”
Sen. Bernie Sanders was declared the winner and Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Ind., came in a very close second in a tight race for the Democratic presidential nomination in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday.
Wall Street's reaction to the Sanders win was muted as many investors don't think the senator can win the presidency or believe that if he wins his socialist beliefs and anti-establishment proposals won't pass muster with Congress.
Health care stocks such as UnitedHealth (UNH) - Get Report, which was leading the Dow, rose since Sanders isn't predicted to defeat Donald Trump and therefore his Medicare for All proposal won't get off the ground.
CVS Health (CVS) - Get Report posted stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings but forecast fiscal-year profit that was modestly shy of Wall Street forecasts.

The Malaysian economy was badly hit in the fourth quarter of 2019 (4Q19) as it grew by 3.6%, the lowest level since the third quarter of 2009..... Badly hit yet governor smile so sweet as in the photo. Obviously some may not be affected despite economy is bad or a weaker ringgit.

As long as it is not negative. M'sia 's debt shot up to near limits after Jibby splashed stimulus in the wake of 2009 GFC. Was this oversized big splash, which we could hardly afford, really necessary then ?

Now, we have even less room to manoeuvre due to debt ceiling. The saving grace is the national debt is mostly denominated in MYR.

The US stockmarts went up due to mostly share buybacks by the companies themselves instead of investing in R & D.

Glad to see non stop greedy politicians fighting for power and $ which ended up market top among Asian countries from the bottom.
With reserves of only USD 109 billion, no significant improvement in many aspects except corruption in a better position but have yet to see any big sharks go into jail etc, future remains dim. It will be even worst if US crash and virus takes an unexpected longer time to recover.

If EPF can give 5% dividends annually on average, it will take about 14 years + for 100% return, a 6% dividend will shorter it to 12 years. How long it will take for MBB price to double to $16?

敦马：必遵守诺言·“APEC后辞首相职
https://www.sinchew.com.my/content/content_2217059.html?%E6%95%A6%E9%A9%AC%EF%BC%9A%E5%BF%85%E9%81%B5%E5%AE%88%E8%AF%BA%E8%A8%80%C2%B7%E2%80%9CAPEC%E5%90%8E%E8%BE%9E%E9%A6%96%E7%9B%B8%E8%81%8C%E2%80%9D

（浮罗交怡14日讯）首相敦马哈迪重申，他一定会兑现承诺，在11月举行2020年亚太经济合作论坛（APEC）峰会后，辞去首相职。

他也证实，他与公正党主席拿督斯里安华会面，安华所发表的文告内容都是正确的。

他强调，他不涉及任何其他的动作，且必定会遵守诺言。

马哈迪今日为一项度假村发展计划主持动土礼后，召开新闻发布会。

对于一直重提的辞职课题，马哈迪说，这是因为媒体喜欢一直炒作，他更调侃，对于媒体，若他与安华互相殴打，（因有新闻）会更开心。

好奇138签名人数传言

另外，针对传言指有138名国会议员签署法定声明（SD），支持他任满一届的事件，马哈迪也好奇为何有这样的支持人数。

他说 ，希盟拥有最多国会议员，如果有138名国会议员签署，等于有希盟的国会议员也支持（签署声明）。

他也说，他确实听到很多传言，也有人叫他再当20年的首相。

他自我调侃：“我已94岁，过不久将迈入95岁，不可能做那么久。”

安华昨午就伊党、巫统与公正党一小撮人正在争取签名，以支持马哈迪任相直到任期结束的最新演变，到布城与首相敦马会面，针对移交政权一事进行商讨。

他在会谈结束后发表声明透露，希盟主席理事会将在2月21日召开的会议上，针对首相权力转移一事进行讨论并拍板定案。

安华补充，自己倾向于马哈迪领导国家直到亚太经合论坛峰会结束。

财长：减轻疫情冲击．首相27日宣布振兴配套
2020-02-14 17:20:32
https://www.sinchew.com.my/content/content_2217173.html

（布城14日讯）财政部长林冠英披露，首相敦马哈迪将于2月27日（星期四）下午4时30分宣布振兴经济配套，以寻求减轻新冠肺炎疫情对马来西亚经济的影响，并保护国人应享有之福利。

挹注额外资源

他发表文告说，振兴经济配套既不是新的预算案，也不是2020年国家预算案的一部分。它将向受影响的领域挹注额外的资源，以使经济尽可能完善发展，并受益于疫情解除之后预期的经济反弹。

“当市场面临严峻挑战之际，我们不应绝望以对，反之，应坚持不懈地让我们的行业得以生存，一旦疫情威胁解除后，我国就可以从经济反弹中受益。现金流是主要问题，受影响的公司必须确保它们在经济反弹时保持生存能力、运营能力并能够从中获利。”

林冠英说，政府将采取措施协助相关公司，同时也会着重于探索其他收入，例如转向鼓励国内旅游和从其他市场采购货物。这还包括保持国内劳动力市场的弹性，同时在短期需求疲软的情况下，确保我们的软硬件基础设施保持不变。

政府各机构密切磋商

“财政部正联合经济事务部、交通部、旅游、艺术和文化部与各别机构制定振兴经济计划。政府已经接洽旅游、物流、及金融领域的主要参与者以进行磋商。政府部门也与中小型企业以及与政府关联的基金和企业举行了会议。”

他说，卫生部在遏止新冠肺炎疫情方面做出了杰出贡献，尽管假新闻呈猖狂繁衍之势，但并未引起公众恐慌。我国的专业卫生人员应获得他们所需的一切支持，以克服此次挑战。

“现在是每个马来西亚人抛开分歧，团结一致的时候。当政府帮助受影响的行业时，我们希望各行业的业内人士也发挥各自作用，协助其客户和供应商，以便所有人都可以应对此次挑战，并待疫情结束后受惠于市场的反弹。正如约翰肯尼迪（John F. Kennedy）所说：‘不要问国家能为你做什么，问你自己能为国家做什么'。”

HONG KONG: Hong Kong is facing "tsunami-like” shocks, and may incur a record budget deficit in the next fiscal year as the city counts the costs of the Covid-19 (coronavirus) outbreak after months of social unrest, Financial Secretary Paul Chan said on Sunday (Feb 16).

The impact of the epidemic on the Hong Kong economy is being felt beyond retail, food and beverage and tourism-related industries, Chan said in a blog post Sunday.

The short-term economic outlook is "cautious,” and shocks can cause the unemployment rate to "deteriorate rapidly,” Chan said.

Foreign investors will never trust Malaysian government.
They never keep promises and always look for scapegoats to enrich themselves.
