SINGAPORE (BLOOMBERG) - As if the pandemic wasn't warping global markets enough, China's regulatory crackdown is suddenly adding new unpredictability. So how best to invest in these strange times? Bloomberg News spoke with institutional investors with US$3 trillion in combined assets under management to ask how they're navigating economic turmoil caused by unpredictable recoveries and China's shifting rules, which have frozen US listings and almost erased the online education sector. Some are ramping up allocations to hedge funds - reversing a years-long retreat - hoping that active management can plot a path through a landscape of Covid-19 lockdowns and rebounds. Others are switching to undervalued stocks in Europe and India, avoiding the U.S.-China regulatory fracas. All recommended heightened caution and warned of a difficult recovery ahead. What follows is a look at their strategies. - Temasek Holdings: AUM of S$381 billion Over the next 12 months, Singapore's massive state-owned investor will look to companies that focus on digitization, e-commerce, cyber-security providers and increased sustainability, according to Nagi Hamiyeh, joint head of its investment group.

Zoom’s tepid growth forecast takes shine off billion-dollar quarter

BENGALURU (REUTERS) - Zoom Video Communications Inc posted its first billion-dollar revenue quarter but signaled a faster-than-expected easing in demand for its video-conferencing service after a pandemic-driven boom, sending its shares tumbling 11 per cent. The company on Monday forecast third-quarter revenue between US$1.015 billion and US$1.020 billion, compared with the analysts' average estimate of US$1.013 billion, according to Refinitiv data. That indicates a rise of just about 31.2 per cent from a year earlier, compared with multiple-fold growth rates in 2020 when the Covid-19 crisis had turned Zoom into a household name due to the rise of remote working and schooling. "We had expected that (the slowdown) towards the end of the year, but it's just happened a little bit more quickly than we expected," chief financial officer Kelly Steckelberg said on an earnings call. Zoom has faced pressure this year as vaccinations encourage schools to reopen and more companies to bring employees back to offices. Competition from legacy platforms such as Cisco's Webex and Microsoft Teams has also dented its efforts to win bigger contracts from businesses. Zoom said it expects a decline in ...

Oil settles up as US producers, refiners assess storm damage

NEW YORK (REUTERS) - Oil rose on Monday, lifted as US Gulf Coast platforms, refineries and pipelines grappled with uncertainty on restart timelines after Hurricane Ida wreaked havoc on the region. Gains were capped as OPEC+ looked set to go ahead with a planned oil output increase. Global benchmark Brent settled at US$73.41 a barrel, up 71 US cents or 0.98 per cent. Brent touched a session high of US$73.69, the highest since Aug 2. US crude futures rose 47 US cents, or 0.68 per cent to US$69.21 a barrel. Within 12 hours of coming ashore, Ida had weakened into a Category 1 hurricane, and has since dropped to tropical storm status. Hundreds of oil production platforms were evacuated ahead of the storm and nearly all offshore Gulf oil production, or 1.74 million barrels per day, was suspended. After heavy winds and rains, nearly 1.2 million homes and businesses in Louisiana and Mississippi were without power on Monday and the storm's move inland shifted the oil market's focus to when refiners can restart. Oil and gas pipeline operators checked for damage. Power utilities warned that customers in the hardest-hit areas could face extended outages. Exxon Mobil Corp said it was shutting t...

TOKYO, Aug 30, 2021 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Hitachi Astemo Co., Ltd. today announced that its damping force adjustment absorber co-developed with Aisin Corporation was adopted by Toyota Motor Corporation for the new Land Cruiser launched in June.Co-developed with Aisin Corporation, the damping force adjustment absorber improves control for Toyota's new Land Cruiser. While shock absorbers typically have a single mechanism to adjust damping force during extension and compression, our jointly developed suspension is able to adjust the damping force using separate mechanisms enabling more precise control of the damping forces resulting in a higher level of maneuverability and a more comfortable driving experience.Furthermore, by incorporating the damping force control valve in the shock absorber, instead of on the outside where it is conventionally installed, the structure can be simplified. As a result, and compared to our conventional products, volume has been reduced by about 20% making it much easier to mount on the vehicle, and the weight has been reduced by about 30%.Hitachi Astemo is committed to creating social, environmental, and economic value by providing advanc...

HONG KONG, Aug 30, 2021 - (亚太商讯 via SEAPRWire.com) - 日清食品有限公司（「公司」或「日清食品」，连同其附属公司统称「集团」；股份代号: 1475）今天公布截至2021年6月30日止六个月（「报告期」）之中期业绩。 于报告期内，中国业务继续表现良好，而香港业务则从去年受惠于「宅经济」的高基数回落。集团录得收入1,853.8百万港元，较去年同期增长6.8%（2020年：1,735.4百万港元），主要归因于中国业务收入持续上升，然而有关升幅受香港业务消费减少而有所抵销。毛利为592.3百万港元（2020年：588.0百万港元），毛利率为31.9%（2020年：33.9%）。毛利率下降主要归因于原材料价格按年上涨、来自香港业务的收入减少，以及上海的合营分销业务于营运首年的贡献较低所致。集团的EBITDA为281.3百万港元（2020年：310.7百万港元），EBITDA利润率为15.2%（2020年：17.9%）。本公司拥有人应占溢利为170.9百万港元（2020年：178.4百万港元），纯利率为9.2%（2020年：10.3%）。期内盈利能力受到削弱，乃由于原材料价格上涨及因集团继续投资于品牌导致经营及非经营开支增加，然而被公司期内适用税率较低所扺销。每股基本盈利为15.94港仙（2020年：16.61港仙）。香港业务香港业务的收入为682.2百万港元（2020年：708.6百万港元），主要由于集团产品的需求没有像去年那样突然激增，尤其是对袋装方便面及冷冻食品的需求。分部业绩为52.6百万港元（2020年：97.9百万港元），主要由于收入减少，以及自去年下半年以来原材料价格上升，以及与品牌投资有关的开支增加所致。集团继续致力为消费者提供正宗及原味的日本美食，并于期内推出广受欢迎的九州岛大分风味特产－全新柚子胡椒猪骨汤味的「出前一丁」及「出前一丁棒丁面」。今年为庆祝「合味道」品牌创立50周年，集团对品牌全线16款味道进行大胆革新，并彻底提升面条的面质。此外，为进一步丰富方便面的组合，集团已推出「拉王」及「福」品牌的新产品，以及各式各样的「公仔」品牌方便面及冷冻食品。非面类业务方面，集团持续扩大香港的产品组合。分销业务随着人们恢复正常活动而录得稳健增长，而由集团自家生产的谷物麦片继续成为消费者最喜爱的选择之一。另外，集团亦于报告期内积极推广「KAGOME」产品。蔬菜业务的产品已在超市上架，集团预计长远而言，该业务将继续辅助其业务发展。为促进日清食品的长期发展，集团于2021年4月14日以现金代价48.9百万港元收购明丰包装化工有限公司（「明丰」）的100%权益。明丰持有一系列厂房及机器，以及土地使用权及租赁物业。中国业务中国业务收入增加14.1%（按当地汇率：4.8%）至1,171.6百万港元（2020年：1,026...
