Hi MaxWealth88
ReplyDeleteI am not sure how the auto supply disruption in Japan would affect similar companies in Malaysia. My guess is that if you sell to the replacement market, the impact is either negligible or positive. On the other hand, if you sell more to the OEM market, the customers (or OEM clients) may encounter production disruption & as such the demand for your products may reduce.
Hi Wedding Gifts,
ReplyDeleteAt the time of your posting this comment, Eksons looked positive. At the time of my posting this comment, it has turned negative. It may have broken below the uptrend line support at RM1.40-1.42 on April 15. An attempt to climb back above the uptrend line failed on April 18 when the share price hit the support-turned-resistance of the uptrend line at RM1.43 & faltered.
FYI the prices of lumber [as traded on CME] has dropped sharply since early April. Go here . While this lumber may not be the same as tropical hardwood, I believe that the substitution effect may kick in and pull down the price of tropical hardwood products.
