This morning, big4 got attacked by operators and shorties again. They are good at exploiting on the weak market sentiments to whack down prices.

Got to see whether Rubberex's SBB forces will shift their buyback prices..

SBB was triggered yesterday when Rubberex's share price hit 58 sen yesterday.

Now, I am watching interestingly how the Hartalega operator is making shorties buy back their shorts higher. Lol.

Will rising fuel costs creep into local electricity tariffs?
https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/will-rising-fuel-costs-creep-local-electricity-tariffs

After the Covid-19 slump in economic activities, now the bigger market risk is the higher energy cost, which the recovering world economy is expected to embrace it.
Higher energy cost, plus supply chain shortages, would inevitably cause all production costs(including raw material costs) to go up.

In this sense, we can hardly expect glove prices to fall back to pre-Covid level.

IMF warns on inflation, says the Fed and others should be prepared to tighten policy. Fed officials have stated that the primary weapon to fight inflation is hiking interest rates.

When interest rates go up, bank counters will benefit the most. That is why bank counters are always regarded as a longer-term hold, not only for their good dividend payments, but also for potential capital gains.

Companies that are highly geared will be the hardest hit in a rising interest environment.

This morning, we saw a big selldown for Opcom. The operator decided to push the price down after selling out a big chunk of it at a good price.

I do not think Eddie was behind the "goreng". But Opcom operator just rode on Eddie's stake buy to goreng up the counter. Nevertheless, greedy punters got caught by this sudden move down.

Market would be keenly waiting for a clearer cue from the release of Kossan and Hartalega results in end Oct/early Nov.

Strangely enough, these are the 2 counters that had enjoyed more play by the operators in the last few days. Funny right - why only played up more of these 2 counters, out of the big4?
=======================================================================
Rubberex's share price would be range-bound for the moment, until a new catalyst(either positive or negative) emerges.

I can see that the Rubberex operator is really in a fix, churning only a traded vol of 272,200 shares as at end of morning session today, the lowest in years.

To push up, no obvious reason, but to push down, could trigger SBB? A real headache for the operator!

Promising outlook for luxury retail prompts Luxasia expansion in Malaysia.

Singapore-based Luxasia will open an Escentials store in Suria KLCC, Kuala Lumpur, next month to take advantage of lower rents at prime locations.

Luxasia, the leading omnichannel distributor and retailer of luxury beauty in Asia-Pacific, plans to commence operations at a time when the economy is picking up and retail is on an upward trend, after months of movement restrictions, owing to the Covid-19 pandemic.

More luxury and international brands are likely to follow suit in the months ahead to grab a small piece of the large reopening trades pie at various prime locations in Malaysia.
