yes. the commodity price is rising but it does not mean malaysian steel players will benefit from it. Same like oil and gas. Unless you are able to extract the thing yourself and become the upstream players.

The present high price of steel are due to China (world biggest producer} curtailment of export & production of steel & this is beside high iron ore prices and high standard of environment protection impose by china govt.

Consequently msia downstream producers sit on inventory gains plus ability to pass the cost increase to consumers due to less competition from china mah!

If you are in the downstream and your raw material price keep increasing do you think you can pass down the increase price to your customers?

KUALA LUMPUR (May 18): The steep climb in commodity prices to multi-year high levels, if not record high, is inflating companies' input costs at a time many businesses are struggling with low sales volumes brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Noting that a "margin squeeze is inevitable" for manufacturers, Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers president Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai said it is not that easy to pass on the cost increments to customers, citing scenarios in which companies could be bounded by contracts, renegotiations would be needed for price adjustments.

He commented that the rise in commodity prices is a global phenomenon and is likely to impact all businesses especially amongst competing suppliers. Any price hike will trigger a chain effect, he added.

"Given the current economic conditions, some manufacturers are content to keep their business alive and sustain jobs, and not concerned with optimising profit," said Soh.

However, he noted that even if the commodity prices have increased, it may not necessarily translate into higher costs immediately as businesses producing commodities-based products would have hedged by keeping some inventories.

The correct approach for business....is if u face lowering demand & increasing cost....They should increase price immediately, so that u can achieved higher margin & prepare to do lesser business loh!

U see...if u go for low price war...with low margin no use loh....bcos your margin will be much less & u cannot attract so much demand anyway, thus cannot cover your cost loh!

Of course this business association chairman, will say tough time with high input cost & cannot raise price, hoping that they can attract some Govt support loh!

In fact high input cost is the best time to raise price & margin loh!

this companies do not produce the own aluminium from raw, not like glove companies, Finished products will be more expensive due to higher price of raw aluminium . they need to buy at high cost of raw to make their finished products. if some of their contracts job were awarded before the price increase. can the companies make more profit.

Uncle missed his opportunity to sell Leon Fuat at the highest. Otherwise this article wont come out.

Anyway, China government has come out and instructed steelmakers not to participate in pricing manipulation. I think China government also caught out by the spike in demand after ordering factories to shut down to reduce pollution. Iron ore has dropped after that. I foresee pricing will go down slowly in the next 6months. It takes a couple of months to boost supply to meet demand.

The focus is on stocks so i am not sure if it is okay on something else. A small correction..china with a population of 1.4 billion is expected to have the biggest gdp soon. It is NOT the richest..it is, if i am not mistaken is 67 or so on the list. Bahrein is on the top with Singapore next. The USA and most of the European countries are among the top 20 richest countries..

The manufacturing segment registered a profit before tax in Q1 FY2021 of RM1.19 million versus
Q1 FY2020’s loss before tax of RM1.03 million. The higher shipment volume contributed to this
improved result albeit there were increases in freight costs, higher usage of external reroll coils to
supplement in-house production capacity and higher repairs and maintenance expenses. These
increases were partially offset with lower general provisions requirements for slow moving inventories
and customer complaints.
For the property development segment, its EmHub project saw substantial construction progress,
coupled with prudent cost controls and lower staff costs, net of higher marketing expenses. The higher
construction progress has led to more progress billings to customers and higher recognition of
progressive profits, translating into a profit before tax of RM8.74 million in Q1 FY2021 compared
with Q1 FY2020’s profit before tax of RM0.28 million.
