We need positive and forward looking investors to be in this forum, not those pessimistic, everyday thinking sky is going to fall. 19/01/2021 7:43 AM WaterBlower Bang. Is not about positive and negative. Some people just telling real current situation. Not always pump in positive input eventhough is a lie Should you tell a person who just recently lost their loved one that it is a good news where they deserves to die and you deserves better one? 19/01/2021 8:35 AM WaterBlower Crystalyc OPR is Overnight Policy Rate which is the bank interest rate set by Bank Negara OPR will directly affect the bank saving deposit rates and also the lending rates 19/01/2021 11:27 AM Gunplakk On the contrary we need to make the sky fall so that we can profit from it... If it does not fall, how can I make a good spread? So it's not about spreading fake news and pushing it down... It's telling the situation as it is and for me, I really hope it drops. So that I can capitalize on it. So I will focus on the negative news. And the fact is that in the near term the sentiment is bad. Npl, moritorium, opr cuts and CIMB will have a poor q4 results... All these will push the share price down... So 350 to 380 is not impossible... Those looking to buy.... Think twice... There is more down pressure for now... The vaccine is already priced in. No more vaccine rally. Window dressing over. So sideline and hope for prices to drop. Gibbab!!!!! 19/01/2021 11:36 AM JBond007 @Gunplakk....Skyfall? No lah, I think you watch too much of my James Bond 007 movie. 19/01/2021 12:55 PM stkoay @JBond007.....Gunplakk sold already...now hoping to get back cheap...haha. 19/01/2021 4:18 PM Gunplakk Yup I sold when it was 469 recently.... Been collecting since 415...but I want more at cheaper price!!! Only way we can make more is for it to drop. I hope opr don't get cut.. my FD all badly impacted.

Maybe will drop 19/01/2021 9:49 PM Riaz1954 There is no justification to drop OPR just yet given that CV rescue package has just been agreed. From pure economics point of OPR is not a precise tool, people impacted can be mor W targeted for help like moratorium on loans and direct help with salaries etc...OPR csn be used after the i pact of latest injection can be assessed. That’s my pennies worth.

It said in a statement for Malaysia, the resurgence in Covid-19 cases and the introduction of targeted containment measures had affected the recovery momentum in the fourth quarter of 2020. “As a result, growth for 2020 is expected to be near the lower end of the earlier forecasted range. “For 2021, while near-term growth will be affected by the re-introduction of stricter containment measures, the impact will be less severe than that experienced in 2020, ” it said. However, Bank Negara said the growth trajectory was projected to improve from the second quarter onwards. 20/01/2021 3:37 PM kevinobc https://www.thestar.com.my/business/business-news/2021/01/20/bank-negara-maintains-opr-at-175 20/01/2021 3:37 PM fisherman11 Last OPR cut on 7th July 2020, few days before that, the peak price was at 4.125. On 3rd Nov 2020, OPR continues maintain for 2nd time, the price climbed towards 4.75, also boosted because of vaccine news. So by right, today maintain, cimb should climb back to 4.7 in anticipation of vaccine and as well as this MCO being "effective". 20/01/2021 3:59 PM stkoay https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/maybank-kim-eng-positive-fundamentals-malaysian-equity-market “I think banks are safe,” said Pathmakanthan, noting that no worries are needed about the fundamentals of the banks. He said the banks have no balance sheet issue, as they have not only built up a “very strong” capital base, but they are also not short of liquidity. “So far the news for the banking sector has been still quite good,” he said. Citing the latest data from November, he noted that the gross impaired loans for the banking system is 1.5%, compared with the Bank Negara Malaysia’s (BNM) stress test, which was 3% by the end of 2020. Thus, this means that impaired loans are tracking well below BNM's expectations. 20/01/2021 5:06 PM Riaz54 Malaysian banks compared to their Western and developed markets are well capitalised and are generally more conservative in their investments. Western banks have rallied strongly even with rising bad debts. CIMB were unfortunate to have been hit by exposure to 2 large O&G companies in Singapore who defaulted. CIMB had significant exposure resulting in bad debt provision with little prospect for recovery. The worst is over in that respect and if anything the conservative provisioning of bad debt provision could see some reduction going forward. Time for share price to rally to 4.75-5.10 range and perhaps beyond once vaccine is distributed. 20/01/2021 9:58 PM RiverOfSilver According to Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association (MARGMA), global glove demand is about 330 billion pieces per year & estimated to grow at 10% annually 20/01/2021 10:33 PM RiverOfSilver For 2021 global glove demand is expected to grow to 396 billion pieces versus the total production capacity of Malaysian glove factories of 280 billion pieces 20/01/2021 10:34 PM RiverOfSilver While for 2022 global glove demand is expected to expand further to 475 billion pieces against the projected total production capacity of Malaysian glove factories of 363 billion pieces 20/01/2021 10:34 PM RiverOfSilver Today, the demand for rubber gloves is so overwhelming that major rubber glove manufacturers have an order waiting list of more than 12 months 20/01/2021 10:35 PM RiverOfSilver While also, a research analyst from a local IB has also written that covid-19 vaccine deployment could in fact add another further new demand source of 18 billion pieces per year, assuming that 60% of the world's 7.5 billion people gets their vaccine in two doses annually 20/01/2021 10:35 PM Gunplakk Good to see no opr cuts but the gain is only marginal at best.. so there is hope that by friday we can see another sell down. I hope we get a 10% correction before the recovery comes into effect... Same for SGx... I hope Dow will crash.... Then I can buy more sg banks as well. Aiyoh... Gibbabla gloves... It's dead.
