GMG up on reports about its Ivory Coast ops

Shares of GMG Global (GMGG.SI), a Singapore rubber producer, rose as much as 6.8% on news reports that it had resumed shipments of rubber from its facilities in the Ivory Coast.

At 9:40 a.m., GMG Global shares were up 5.1% at $0.31 on a volume of 31.2 million shares.  

The firm did not immediately comment when asked about the reports.

GMG Global resumes Ivory Coast rubber shipments: Update 1

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.

U.S.: Ivory Coast president stole elections

The U.S. is renewing its call for Ivory Coast President Laurent Gbagbo to yield power to the internationally recognized winner of the November election.

Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Johnnie Carson says Gbagbo’s continued hold on power amounts to election theft.

GMG Global down on Ivory Coast jitters

Shares of rubber producer GMG Global <GMGG.SI> fell as much as 8.3% on Wednesday as investors were nervous about the political unrest in Ivory Coast, where the firm has processing operations.

At 2:41 p.m., GMG Global shares were down 6.7% at $0.28, the lowest in more than two months, on a volume of 102.3 million shares.

Ivory Coast situation neutral for Olam: Daiwa

Daiwa keeps Olam International (O32.SG) at Buy with a $3.52 target price. Expects the situation in Ivory Coast — where there is civil unrest after a disputed election — will have a neutral impact on Olam.

“We expect Olam to generate more cocoa volume sales, but a thinner unit contribution” in 2Q-3Q FY11. Says Olam would theoretically face a price risk from the change in cocoa prices from the time of the cocoa harvest (typically October-December in Ivory Coast) and the time it can reset its hedge via deliverable futures.
