华夏CCP是两个极端的杂种血龙,“嘴是尧舜,心行夏桀”反人类反禽兽。禽兽的行为是没自我意识的本能。而人类有了自我意识,就通过对上帝的信仰发展出对本能中原罪的压制。而华夏不信上帝不但不压制原罪,反利用自我意识把原罪发挥到登峰造极无以复加的邪恶境地,更包装成“仁义道德”“天理良知”“恻隐之心”

Trade Tensions
Growing tension between the U.S and China may frustrate bulls in the second half, as it could weigh on equities, futures and commodities, including palm. But friction could threaten the phase one trade deal and hurt China’s buying of U.S. soybeans, opening an opportunity for palm, according to Varqa.

What to Watch in Commodities: Winners and Losers in Second Half

Relations between Malaysia and India also need to be watched. India has ramped up purchases of Malaysian palm oil, thanks to export duty exemptions and warmer diplomatic ties following a politically-linked trade row last year.

New Infections, La Nina
The deadliest pandemic of the modern era is stronger than ever, with the coronavirus case count surging past 10 million. Even as investors brace for post-pandemic economic recession, fears of a new wave of infections remain.

Weather-related risks also lurk on the horizon. Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology last week raised its ENSO Outlook to ‘La Nina Watch’, with the chance of a La Nina forming during the southern hemisphere spring increasing to around 50%, twice the normal likelihood.

La Nina, a cooling of the tropical Pacific, can bring wetter-than-normal weather to Malaysia and Indonesia, where most of the world’s palm is grown.

Biodiesel Willpower
Biodiesel demand may still suffer as people continue to avoid traveling around the world, according to Howie Lee, an economist at Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. in Singapore. Indonesia’s political will to maintain its B30 biofuel mandate is also at stake, he said.

Indonesia’s trade ministry now expects biofuel consumption at close to 8 million kiloliters this year, down from a target of 9.6 million kiloliters at the start of the year. Malaysia has postponed its B20 mandate, or 20% blending with diesel, in parts of the country as the pandemic delays the infrastructure push needed for higher biofuel use.

Petroleum prices will be crucial for palm in the coming months and investors will keep an eye on any move of the OPEC+ alliance to restrict production. Higher gasoil prices will help reduce the discount to palm oil and may revive blending of palm-biodiesel.

“Going into the new normal era, we must evolve into more efficient operations as this is a labor-intensive industry,” said Joko Supriyono, chairman of the Indonesian Palm Oil Association. “The pandemic is a trigger for the industry to change -- we can no longer enjoy good margins, and to exist in any market we must became more cost-efficient.”

Demand Hopes
The appetite for palm oil may recover in the coming months as lockdowns are relaxed across the world, especially in India and China. However, it’s still uncertain whether consumption can fully recover.


Malaysia is poised to benefit as India and China open up, prices are relatively lower than Indonesian rates and trade ties between Malaysia and India are warming, said Sathia Varqa, owner of Palm Oil Analytics in Singapore. Edible oil consumption will return, while oleochemicals demand will surge due to its use in personal hygiene products such as soaps and hand sanitizers, as well as personal protective gear.

However, palm is still facing a supply glut, which may climb to a peak that’s “well above” 3 million tons by the year-end, James Fry, chairman of LMC International, said at an online seminar last week.

Indonesia’s crude palm oil production may be 1 million to 2 million tons lower than last year’s 44 million tons due to dry weather and less fertilizer usage, according to Fadhil Hasan, director at PT Asian Agri, one of the largest growers. Output in Malaysia may drop 4.3% to 19 million tons due to biological stress on trees and limited labor supply, according to the Malaysian Palm Oil Board.

Poor Production
The impact of dry weather and reduced fertilizer application by farmers last year have spilled into 2020, hurting production of palm fruit. While output in Indonesia and Malaysia probably gained in the January-June period, yields in the second half, which accounts for about 60% of annual production, may wane.

Facing unprecedented headwinds, prices started tumbling in January and slumped to a 10-month low of 1,946 ringgit a ton on May 6, as fruit yields picked up pace, stockpiles ballooned and biodiesel programs in top growers Indonesia and Malaysia came under heavy scrutiny. Veteran analyst Dorab Mistry called it a “cruel season” for palm oil. Prices have dropped 23% so far this year, compared with an 18% decline in rival soybean oil.

Concerns about a new wave of virus infections, extended lockdowns in some countries and re-emerging trade friction between the U.S. and China may cloud palm’s outlook. Here’s what industry participants are watching:

The Malaysian Palm Oil Council predicts prices will hit a peak of 2,594 ringgit ($605) per ton in the second half, and average at 2,337 ringgit this year, if Indonesia and Malaysia proceed with their biodiesel blending mandates as planned, and Europe’s oilseed production eases, paving way for buyers to switch to palm.

Benchmark futures in Malaysia, now trading at around 2,318 ringgit, started racing higher at the end of 2019, before the coronavirus pulled the plug on demand, first in China and then in other major consumers, as governments shut borders and businesses to stop the spread of the pandemic.

Palm Oil Set For Better Fortunes After Pandemic Wrecked Bull Run

Palm oil is heading for a recovery in the second half on improving global demand and dwindling output, months after the coronavirus shattered the tropical oil’s stunning bull run.

Demand for the world’s most-consumed cooking oil, used in everything from chocolate to ice-cream, lipstick and shampoo, is poised to recover as lockdowns across the globe begin to ease and major consumers, including China and India, are boosting purchases to replenish stockpiles.

If its Single stock warrants: for warrants over shares, the settlement price of a Macquarie warrant is calculated by using the average closing price of the shares for the five (5) Market Days prior to the expiry date.

Guys! Bursa is a small market. All it takes is a strong proprietary trader to force the market down. Even without short sellers, the market moves due to fund managers or large sharks buying and selling. Every quarter, we can see foreign fund take advantage of our small market and 'kill' the ikan bilis and some slow fund managers in the market. Presently, lots of liquidity in the market because many individuals are looking to the stock market to make money because unit trust returns are slow, and typically lose money / reducing capital when market drops if compare to EPF g'teed pincipal. Retail traders are not professional, they are the ones who suffer most with short sellers. Because retail traders suffer most, they will look for alternative avenues for investment like properties which have led to our overprices properties especially residential. Even the video pointed out the cons, short sellers can cause the market to crash and a new cycle of negativity in the economy can lead to recession.

Among the other accusations levelled by Bolton according to the Times:

Intelligence briefings with the president were a waste of time "since much of the time was spent listening to Trump, rather than Trump listening to the briefers," Bolton alleges.
Trump explicitly linked aid to Ukraine to investigations there involving his presumed rival in November, Democrat Joe Biden. Trump "said he wasn't in favour of sending them anything until all the Russia-investigation materials related to Clinton and Biden had been turned over," Bolton says.
During one meeting, Trump seemed surprised to learn that the United Kingdom was a nuclear power and asked whether Finland was part of Russia.
The Times describes the book overall as "a withering portrait of a president ignorant of even basic facts about the world, susceptible to transparent flattery by authoritarian leaders manipulating him and prone to false statements, foul-mouthed eruptions and snap decisions that aides try to manage or reverse."

Publisher Simon and Schuster said the lawsuit is an attempt by the Trump administration to stop "publication of a book it deems unflattering to the President". It said Bolton has fully cooperated with the National Security Council pre-publication review.

In the book, according to the Times, Bolton described several episodes when the president expressed willingness to halt criminal investigations "to, in effect, give personal favours to dictators he liked". The investigations in question are said to involve Turkey's Halkbank to curry favour with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey or China's ZTE to favour Xi.

"The pattern looked like obstruction of justice as a way of life," Bolton wrote.

Publication of the book "would cause irreparable harm, because the disclosure of instances of classified information in the manuscript reasonably could be expected to cause serious damage, or exceptionally grave damage, to the national security of the United States," according to the lawsuit.

Both the Times and the Washington Post obtained advance copies.

The Post said in the same meeting with Xi, the Chinese leader defended the building of camps holding up to a million Uighur Muslims. "According to our interpreter," Bolton wrote, "Trump said that Xi should go ahead with building the camps, which Trump thought was exactly the right thing to do," the Post reported.

Bolton resigned in September 2019 after roughly 17 months as national security adviser. Trump, however, claims he fired him after the two clashed over policy towards North Korea, Iran, Ukraine and the Taliban in Afghanistan.

"Trump then, stunningly, turned the conversation to the coming US presidential election, alluding to China's economic capability and pleading with Xi to ensure he'd win," Bolton wrote, According to the Times, which obtained an advance copy of the book.

"He stressed the importance of farmers and increased Chinese purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome," Bolton wrote.

The book, The Room Where it Happened: A White House Memoir, is due to be published on June 23, but the Trump administration has sued to block its distribution, claiming that it contains classified information and would compromise national security.

Bolton memoir: Trump sought Chinese help to win 2020 election
Bolton describes episodes where Trump expressed willingness to halt investigations to give 'favours' to dictators.

President Donald Trump's former National Security Adviser John Bolton writes in his upcoming memoir that Trump sought Chinese President Xi Jinping's help in winning re-election during a closed-door meeting in June 2019, according to a report in the New York Times on Wednesday.

Trump reportedly asked the Chinese leader during trade negotiations at a summit in Osaka, Japan to buy more agricultural products in order to help him win farm states in the November general election.
