Gloves company still make good profits and supporting the Government and people. Stock price is nothing if you really understand how stock market works. We ought to know that many have threw in everything because they think they are smart but the big fellas are out there to nab you first. Go in only when it starts recovering at least 2-3 days.
Below is my argument which I posted on 10 Sep, that US is poised to reimpose the medical product tariff on China glovemakers again, of up to 25%, to be decided and announced before 30 Sep dateline. If US decides to reimpose the tariff, I believe this will have huge negative repercussion on China glovemakers, esp Intco, and will hugely benefit Msia glovemakers and should also help to stabilize the ASP going forward.
The tariff exemptions on the medical goods and personal protective equipment used to fight Covid-19 are set to expire on September 30 The administration of US President Joe Biden will soon decide whether to extend tariff exemptions for Chinese-made masks, gloves and other goods needed to fight the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a notice set to be published on Friday by the US Trade Representative’s office. “In light of these changing circumstances, including the ability of the United States to obtain certain products domestically or from other sources, USTR is requesting public comments on whether to extend particular exclusions for COVID-19 products for up to six months,” it says. The announcement comes as Washington and Beijing continue to clash on a range of fronts, including trade policy. “USTR will evaluate each exclusion on a case-by-case basis,” the notice says.The notice says that the administration will not only look at whether the products from China are needed during the pandemic -- but also whether the tariff exclusions are helping the US achieve its broader goals related to China’s trade practices. Biden’s top trade adviser, US Trade Representative Katherine Tai, has been vocal about what she describes as China’s “coercive and unfair trade practices”. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
This tariff against China medical products is a very important issue . If US were to reimpose the tariff it will potentially clip the wings of the China glovemakers' ability to expand further and allow the ASP to stabilize at higher levels above USD 35. This would have quite a major positive longer term implication to our glovemakers. The question is what is the likely decision come 30 Sept dateline? Reading the above article, one will notice 3 key points: 1) the administration will not only look at whether the products from China are needed during the pandemic -- but also whether the tariff exclusions are helping the US achieve its broader goals related to China’s trade practices. 2) USTR is requesting public comments on whether to extend particular exclusions for COVID-19 products for up to six months 3) Biden’s top trade adviser, US Trade Representative Katherine Tai, has been vocal about what she describes as China’s “coercive and unfair trade practices”.
The above 3 key points seem to imply a negative outlook towards the extension of the tariff exemption: 1) China-US relationship is deteriorating further at a fast rate which will affect the trade decisions going forward. 2), the current public opinion on China is more negative than positive. 3) , Katherine Tai being Biden top trade advisor is rather negative about China. Its understandable as her parents are Taiwanese. [Tai was born in Connecticut and grew up in Washington, D.C., where she attended Sidwell Friends School.[5] Her parents, who were both born in mainland China,[6] grew up in Taiwan and later immigrated to the United States]
Another sign is that US has just lifted the ban on TG to allow more non-China gloves to enter US, perhaps in preparation to reduce the China gloves imports.
I believe all the points above may lead to the re-imposition of the tariff.
(the above is just an opinion and not a buy/sell call)
after achieving daily cases 15 - 17 cases per day in march with 85% vaccination rate, israel opened up & loosened up completely, then what happened to them?
Tonyfa. U have the points but u only interpret them positively. How about the negative aspect? USA first baned TG and importef China glove. Now the lifted ban on TG and impose tariffs on China glove. USA can do that back and forth. The outcome is glove asp is squeezed lower and lower. The summary is no pricing power. No business moat. USA put a hook at glove producers' noses.
Waiting for MOF's rescue to ban RSS? Shorting gang desperate? I can see that u are much more desperate. U will die many times before shorting gang die one time. Pls wake up, dude.
