COMPANY REPORTS Malaysia Daybreak | June 2, 2021 Global Economic News Eurozone manufacturing activity expanded at a record pace in May, according to a survey on Tuesday which suggested growth would have been even faster without supply bottlenecks that have led to an unprecedented rise in input costs. The bloc's economy has been ravaged by the coronavirus pandemic over the past year, with governments forcing much of the region's dominant service industry to close. But factories largely remained open, and restrictions in various countries have gradually been eased. IHS Markit's final Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose to 63.1 in May from Apr's 62.9, above an initial 62.8 "flash" estimate and the highest reading since the survey began in Jun 1997. (Reuters) OPEC+ is likely to stick to the existing pace of gradually easing oil supply curbs at a meeting on Tuesday, three OPEC sources said, as producers balance expectations of a recovery in demand against a possible increase in Iranian supply. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies — known as OPEC+ — decided in Apr to return 2.1m barrels per day (bpd) of supply to the market from May to Jul, as it anticipated global demand would rise despite high numbers of coronavirus cases in India. Since that decision, oil has extended its rally and gained more than 30% so far this year, although the prospect of increased output from Iran, as talks on reviving its nuclear deal make progress, has limited the upside. (Reuters) The push by some US employers to get people back into offices is clashing with workers who’ve embraced remote work as the new normal. A May survey of 1,000 US adults showed that 39% would consider quitting, if their employers weren’t flexible about remote work. The generational difference is clear: Among millennials and Gen Z, that figure was 49%. (Bloomberg) Asia’s factory activity continued to expand in May thanks to an ongoing recovery in global demand, surveys showed on Tuesday, though rising raw material costs and supply chain constraints clouded the outlook. A spike in Covid-19 infections in some countries could disrupt supply chains, posing a headache for manufacturers and weighing on Asia's export-driven recovery, analysts say. Japan and South Korea saw expansions in factory activity moderate in May, purchasing managers' indexes (PMI) showed on Tuesday, underscoring the fragile nature of their recoveries. (Reuters) China's factory activity expanded at the fastest pace this year in May as domestic and export demand picked up, though sharp rises in raw material prices and strains in supply chains crimped some companies' production, a business survey showed on Tuesday. The Caixin/Markit Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose to 52.0 last month, the highest level since Dec and inching up from Apr’s 51.9. Analysts polled by Reuters had expected the index to remain at 51.9. The 50-mark separates growth from contraction on a monthly basis. New orders rose at the strongest pace so far this year and a gauge for export orders was the highest since Nov, but the output reading, while still solid, was slightly lower than the previous month. (Reuters) China’s Sinovac Biotech Ltd. received long-awaited WHO authorization of its Covid-19 vaccine, paving the way for a wider rollout of the controversial shot in countries scrambling for a supply of immunizations. The WHO recommended its use for people aged 18 and older in a two-dose schedule with a spacing of two to four weeks between shots. (Bloomberg) Delivery to the Philippines of the first batches of a promised 17m doses of AstraZeneca's coronavirus vaccine made in Thailand has been delayed by several weeks, a Philippine presidential adviser said. The delay raises questions about AstraZeneca's vaccine distribution plan in Southeast Asia, which depends 2 Malaysia Daybreak | June 2, 2021 on 200m doses made by Siam Bioscience, a company owned by Thailand's king that is making vaccines for the first time. (Reuters) Malaysia Economic News The Social Security Organisation (Socso) has announced the extension of the application deadline for the Wage Subsidy Programme (PSU) from 30 Jun to 31 Jul. Its Chief Executive Datuk Seri Dr Mohammed Azman Aziz Mohammed said the extension was in line with the government's decision to extend the PSU assistance to all economic sectors affected by the implementation of the total lockdown, for another month. He said the subsidy would be channeled automatically to employers who have applied under PSU 3.0 and they only needed to update the list of employees before the 15th of the month.
