American pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly earlier this month said that it was pausing enrolment of its antibody treatment. Separately, Johnson & Johnson (J&J) said it was halting all trials of its experimental Covid-19 vaccine after one participant developed an adverse reaction.
In September, AstraZeneca, which works with the University of Oxford, stalled its vaccine trials but has since resumed the trials again.
China, meanwhile, was reported to have pledged that Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and Laos will be among the “priority” recipients of Chinese vaccines.

MIDF Research analyst Ng Bei Shan also said in a note today that it is still too early to conclude that the discovery of a vaccine could negatively impact average selling prices (ASPs) of gloves.
Recall that the news flow of vaccine development had dampened the performance of glove stocks. We opine that demand for gloves should remain high due to the mass administration of the vaccination required.

Phillip Capital Management Sdn Bhd chief investment officer Ang Kok Heng, meanwhile, that the profit taking was not surprising as the glove stocks had done very well recently.However, as global new Covid-19 cases remained high and demand for gloves remained strong, he was still positive on the glove sector’s medium-term outlook.

Investors are taking profit on the vaccine news. But this is a short-term movement,” Areca Capital Sdn Bhd chief executive officer (CEO) Danny Wong Teck Meng said .

Hartalega Holdings Bhd, Supermax Corp Bhd, Top Glove Corp Bhd, Kossan Rubber Industries Bhd and Comfort Gloves Bhd were among the top 10 losers today

Glove stocks dominated the list of top losers today as investors took profit following the recent rally and fresh progress in the development of a vaccine for Covid-19.

FGV operates its bulking and storage business through its subsidiary FJB, which handles 25% of Malaysia’s total palm oil exports and provides tank space solutions for international vegetable oil traders to conduct business worldwide.

FGV Johor Bulkers Sdn Bhd (FJB) is one of the most well-equipped terminals to handle all types of storage and cargo movement needs. Moving forward, FGV plans to expand its bulking business overseas and we are exploring the best options available.

FGV group chief executive officer Datuk Haris Fadzilah Hassan said the additional tanks attested to the team’s expertise in handling edible and non-edible vegetable oil products.It complements a fully computerised system, stringent quantity and quality controls, strict security and safety measures, as well as comprehensive receipt-storage-dispatch facilities.

The group said four of the tanks located in Pasir Gudang, Johor with 10,400 tonnes capacity completed in August 2020, and two tanks with 5,200 tonnes capacity in Port Klang, Selangor completed in February 2020, are ready for use.

FGV Holdings Bhd has expanded its bulking facility by adding six new vegetable oil storage tanks to cater for increasing market demand and to fulfil the government's B20 biodiesel mandate for the transport sector.

Azaddin Ngah, CEO of Agensi Kaunseling & Pengurusan Kredit, gave assurance that those applying for repayment flexibility will not be negatively tagged in their CCRIS (Credit Central Reference Information System) reports.

Bank Rakyat CEO Datuk Rosman Mohamed reminded that "the blanket auto moratorium will stop come Sept 30" and people need to be aware that disposable income will be less from October onwards so they will need to approach the banks for targeted assistance.

Bank Islam CEO Mohd Muazzam Mohamed believes it is timely for borrowers to revisit their finance.Expenditure patterns could have changed for some people. This is the time for them to revisit in terms of financial planning when their repayment resumes [in October]. We will continue to support them if they need help," he added.Bank Islam's Mohd Muazzam pointed out that there are various channels that banks have made available to help borrowers seek assistance, citing online platforms as an example as well as extended operating hours of banks including opening on weekends.

CIMB's Rahman said the application process is expected to take between one and five days whereas for SMEs it is expected to take three days to two weeks after the completed applications are received by the banks.All the banks are committed to helping borrowers pre- and post-auto moratorium. We urge borrowers who need help to come forward and reach out to your bank for assistance," he said.It's important to get the data of those who can pay and cannot pay. Those who cannot pay, the banks will certainly help them. It's important for us to transition out of auto moratorium to a targeted moratorium so those who need help will get it and provide us comfort to refocus our intention to lend into the economy to make sure that the economy recovers from the pandemic," he added.
From October onwards, the banking industry will be providing a targeted moratorium extension.
Borrowers who can take the targeted moratorium extension are those that have lost their jobs this year and have yet to find a job, who will be offered an extension of the loan moratorium for a further three months, as well as borrowers that are still in employment but have had their salaries affected due to Covid-19, who will be offered a reduction in loan instalments in proportion to their salary reduction depending on the type of financing.

Rakesh Kaul, RHB Bank Bhd head of group head retail banking and asset management, concurred that businesses are picking up.He observed the trend that SMEs are seeking assistance beyond financing and these include digitisation efforts and building their ecosystems to improve their businesses.Commenting on asset quality post-moratorium, Rakesh said the banking industry is anticipating some stress post-loan moratorium and banks have taken prudent measures with regard to this.There will be some asset quality deterioration. We think it will normalise and in the next three to six months it will go back to pre-Covid-level numbers," he added.On borrowers coming forward for further financial assistance, Fuda shared that industry data show 99% of SMEs and 98% of retail customers have been approved.The rejection rate is extremely low. We are not making the process difficult," he noted.

With the blanket automatic loan moratorium coming to an end next week, banks have contacted more than two million borrowers to offer loan repayment assistance after Sept 30, according to CIMB Group Holdings Bhd's group chief executive officer (CEO) Datuk Abdul Rahman Ahmad.
Speaking at a media briefing, Rahman said the banks have managed to speak to 1.4 million borrowers of the over two million contacted. Currently, more than 380,000 contacted customers have confirmed that they require loan repayment assistance.

Among the 380,000 seeking help, 26,000 of them are small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with the remaining bulk being retail borrowers, said Domenic Fuda, Hong Leong Bank Bhd's CEO

Datuk Hamirullah Boorhan, Malayan Banking Bhd's head of community financial services Malaysia, believes it is positive that a majority of retail customers and SMEs do not need any assistance on loan repayment post-moratorium.This reflects the strength of the economy and reflects the confidence of the borrowers, SMEs and individuals, that they can cope," said Hamirullah, noting that the economy is picking up as data show the demand of new car sales has been strong and credit card spending has picked up.
