GMG Global resumes Ivory Coast rubber shipments: Update 1
January 6th, 2011 |
No Comments
GMG Global said shipments from its rubber plantation and processing plant in Ivory Coast have resumed after delays last month caused by the West African nation’s political crisis.
The “shipment schedule for GMG is back on track and there are no further delays,” said Candy Fanya Chang, a spokeswoman for the Singapore-based company, in an e-mailed response to questions today.
GMG owns a majority stake in Tropical Rubber Cote d’Ivoire, a company that runs a 1,560-hectare (3,850-acre) plantation and a processing plant capable of producing 36,000 tonnes a year.
At least 173 people have died in unrest in Ivory Coast since the country’s Nov 28 presidential run-off election left both candidates claiming victory. Ivory Coast is Africa’s largest producer of rubber. The country’s exports increased 37% to 12,433 tonnes in November, the port of Abidjan said in a Dec. 28 statement.
June-delivery rubber extended its rally to a record 440.8 yen ($6.86) per kilogram in after-hours trading on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange after data showed improvement in the US economy, boosting expectations demand will expand for the commodity used in tires.

STI +1%; optimism abounds in first session of 2011

STI +1.0% at 3222.93 after gapping up at the open to regain the 3200 level, which analysts say is key to determine the market’s direction.
With few external drivers after Wall Street’s mixed close, today’s gains likely reflect continued optimism over the strong fundamentals of Singapore’s blue chips (27 STI components are higher and three flat) on the first trading day of 2011, and will confirm the view that Friday’s rapid sell-off was down to last minute profit-taking.
