Ancom Nylex FY2025 Net Profit Declines to RM63.49 Million

Ancom Nylex Bhd reported a decline in net profit for the financial year ended 31 May 2025 (FY2025), registering RM63.49 million compared to RM81.47 million in the previous year. Revenue also eased to RM1.87 billion from RM1.99 billion in FY2024, the group disclosed in a filing with Bursa Malaysia today. The company attributed the lower revenue to softer contributions from its industrial chemicals segment, which faced reduced selling prices and volumes. The drop in net profit was primarily due to elevated freight costs and unfavourable foreign exchange fluctuations. Managing Director and Group Chief Executive Officer Datuk Lee Cheun Wei described FY2025 as a challenging year marked by geopolitical tensions that pushed up freight costs and created volatility in currency markets, weighing on overall performance. “Escalating tariffs and volatile trade conditions could further impact both global and domestic economic projections, making it increasingly difficult to anticipate trends in raw material costs and market prices,” he noted. Nevertheless, Lee expressed optimism that Malaysia’s economic growth is expected to remain positive over the next 12 months, with scope for further improvement if global conditions stabilise. For the fourth quarter ended 31 May 2025 (4Q2025), Ancom Nylex recorded a lower net profit of RM17.07 million compared to RM18.44 million a year earlier, while revenue slipped to RM459.4 million from RM487.2 million. During FY2025, the group declared a first interim dividend through the distribution of treasury shares on the basis of four shares for every 100 shares held. A second interim dividend was also distributed at one treasury share for every 100 shares. -Bernama

Avoiding obvious mistakes: Octa broker breaks down security tools in trading

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 July 2025 – There are multiple risk factors in trading, and navigating them requires patience and experience. To alleviate that pressure, modern trading platforms offer some highly practical tools that help to manage risks and avoid losses. Unfortunately, many traders are either unaware of these tools or have got used to trading without them. In this article, the experts at Octa, a globally regulated and trusted broker since 2011, break down some noteworthy features that seasoned traders use to mitigate the risks and improve their outcomes. Common challenges Trading can be a very intense experience. Each trade puts knowledge and skills to the test, creating a decisive stress factor. It’s like taking an exam with a limited time over and over, but the test questions and conditions are different each time. Octa leverages its extensive market experience to offer transparent trading conditions and fast, reliable withdrawals. The broker’s trustworthiness and transparency reduce the cognitive load involved in trading and allow traders to fully concentrate on their performance. The tools at hand Any trader strives to get additional income with each session, and the high significance of financial outcomes can get on their nerves. Luckily, modern trading platforms have a few simple yet efficient tools that help to automate the routine and improve outcomes. To simplify the trading process, Octa broker creates a reliable, secure trading environment and introduces accessible and efficient features to its platform. Below are some of the tools any trader should consider to achieve more consistent results. Stop loss and take profit Stop-loss and take-profit orders are by far the most popular and accessible risk management tools in trading. These tools automatically close a position once it hits a predefined mark, either cutting losses or locking in gains—just as their names suggest. Most trading tutorials emphasise the importance of regularly using these orders as part of the risk management routine. However, Octa broker’s survey showed that between 29% and 35% of traders apply risk management tools only when attempting a hazardous trade. In most cases, they trust their trading intuition to exit the trade on time. Unfortunately, this approach is risky and can cause significant losses. Remember, risk management tools are there to be used. Trailing stop and break even These tools allow traders to set up dynamic, market-sensitive exit points to secure the gains already made in a trade. While a standard stop-loss order is static and usually applied at the initial stage of a trade, trailing stop automatically adjusts the exit level as the market price moves in the trader’s favour, protecting profits while giving the trade room to run. Similarly, a break-even order moves the stop-loss level to the trade’s entry price (or slightly above or below to cover commissions or fees) once the price has moved a predetermined amount in the trader’s favour, thereby eliminating the risk of financial loss on that particular trade. These tools automatically close the position at a certain price level to protect profits, allowing traders to set up a dynamic, market-sensitive stop-loss order. While a standard stop-loss order is static, both trailing stop and break-even orders follow the price as long as it moves in favour of the open position. Octa broker highly recommends these intuitive and flexible tools available on the broker’s proprietary platform. They offer greater control over open positions, reduce stress, and enhance resilience in unpredictable market conditions. Notifications and calculators However basic, math in trading is always present as a hidden but instrumental mechanism, and a solid understanding of it remains crucial. Modern trading platforms offer dedicated features to automate calculations and reduce cognitive load. For example, position sizing algorithms and automated margin calculators help traders maintain the needed level of exposure. They take into account the user’s current equity amount and desired risk tolerance. An automated tool can calculate how many lots to trade within a specific currency pair so that no more than 1% of the account balance is at risk on any single trade. Maintaining this disciplined and detail-focused approach manually would be very cumbersome, but luckily, the appropriate tools can streamline the process. On the other hand, automated alert systems provide a psychological safety net for emotional traders who are prone to anxiety. These systems monitor charts around the clock and notify traders when specific setups or market conditions emerge. Instead of staring at screens for hours, traders who use such tools can focus on strategy refinement or other analyses, knowing they won’t miss critical entry or exit opportunities. Modern risk-management tools allow for easier and less nerve-wracking sessions while improving overall outcomes. Brokers that wield technology and offer their clients the most accessible, up-to-date solutions create a link of trust and understanding that helps both brokers and traders reach their respective goals. With this in mind, Octa broker recommends choosing a trusted and proven broker, rather than one that simply makes the most promises. ___ Disclaimer: This press release does not contain or constitute investment advice or recommendations and does not consider your investment objectives, financial situation, or needs.

The two elements are complementary.

The Government will fully leverage Hong Kong’s edges as an international data hub, encouraging the industry to pursue innovation and breakthroughs in AI.

Cushman & Wakefield: China Leads REIT Market Expansion in Asia while India’s REIT Market Demonstrates Robust Growth

Chinese mainland REIT market joined the top three largest REIT markets in Asia for the first time with an 85% increase in market value in 2024 India’s office REIT market attracted considerable leasing demand from global capability centres Data centre and hospitality REITs gained strong investor interest in Japan and Singapore HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 July 2025 – China and India’s Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) markets showed robust growth in 2024 and are expected to continue to attract strong investor interest this year, according to Cushman & Wakefield’s Asia REIT Market Insight 2024-2025. The annual report revealed that the Chinese mainland REIT (C-REIT) market achieved a remarkable 85% increase in market value at the end of 2024, surpassing Hong Kong and becoming one of the region’s top three REIT markets. In the same period, India’s REIT market demonstrated robust growth in the office sector, driven by strong leasing demand for institutional-grade office space. Meanwhile, mature markets such as Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong moved toward stabilization, underlining their long-term resilience. Catherine Chen, Director, Investor Client Intelligence & Insights, Asia Pacific at Cushman & Wakefield said, “The unprecedented growth in the C-REIT market highlights its role as a critical driver of regional expansion, while India’s performance emphasizes the growing strength of the country’s institutional-grade real estate. These markets continue to create new and exciting opportunities for investors targeting Asia.” Cushman & Wakefield’s data showed a total of 263 active REIT products in the Asia market as of December 31, 2024, with a combined market value of US$235.8 billion, reflecting a year-on-year decline of 6.5%. The contraction was primarily driven by declines in the U.S. dollar values of the Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong markets due to the widespread softening in REIT stock prices and unfavorable exchange rate movements. Amid these declines, the Chinese mainland REIT market emerged as a bright spot, posting an impressive 85% year-on-year rise in market value, attributable to new REIT product issuances and strong investor demand for infrastructure-backed assets. In the mature markets, Japanese REITs experienced significant gains in dividend yield, led by stock price moderation and asset performance improvements, particularly among hotel REITs, which benefited from inbound tourism. In Singapore, positive total returns were observed across multiple property types in 2024, including data centres at 9.7%, and healthcare at 6.9%. Elsewhere in Asia, Thailand demonstrated robust performance with a 41% increase in market value, marking it as the second-highest growth market in the region. The Philippines, Malaysia and India reported increases of 37%, 21% and 13% respectively, supported by their favorable economic fundamentals and attractive real estate sectors. Total Market Value of Active REITs on Major Asia Exchanges (December 2024) Market Number of REITs Market Value (USD billion) Market Share (%) Japan 57 90.8 38.5 Singapore 39 67.4 28.6 Chinese Mainland 58 21.4 9.1 Hong Kong, China 11 16.1 6.8 India 4 11.0 4.6 Thailand 38 8.3 3.5 Malaysia 18 7.7 3.2 The Philippines 8 5.8 2.5 South Korea 24 5.3 2.3 Taiwan, China 6 21.0 0.9 Total 263 235.8 100 Source: Bloomberg database, compiled by Cushman & Wakefield Valuation & Advisory Services Expansion of C-REIT market The year 2024 saw a breakthrough in C-REIT issuance with 29 new REIT products, including 19 real estate-backed REITs. This represented the highest annual issuance recorded to date. Among product categories, consumer infrastructure REITs led the issuance count with seven new listings, followed by industrial park REITs with six launches. Heading into 2025, the market has maintained its robust trajectory with six REITs launched in Q1, including five real estate-backed products. As of March 31, 2025, a total of 64 public infrastructure REITs were listed in the Chinese mainland, marking a significant period of growth in the market. Chris Yang, Senior Director, Head of REITs Practice Group, China, at Cushman & Wakefield said, “The C-REIT market has achieved a historic milestone in 2024, in both market value expansion and new product issuance. This surge reflects both greater investor confidence in infrastructure-backed REITs and the success of new issuances in retail and industrial REITs. Looking ahead, we anticipate further diversification and expansion as regulatory frameworks evolve to attract both domestic and international investors.” Global capability centres drive leasing demand for India office REITs India’s office asset REITs have attracted a considerable share of demand from global capability centres (GCCs), which is an important growth driver for India’s office markets. At a Pan-India level, GCCs have accounted for 28%–29% of gross leasing volume on average over the last four quarters up to Q1 2025. In contrast, REIT landlords were able to achieve a much higher share, at 40%–60% of total leasing demand from GCC firms, rendering institutionally owned assets the preferred choice for many multinational occupiers. Somy Thomas, Executive Managing Director, Valuations and Co- Head, Capital Markets, India at Cushman & Wakefield commented, “India’s REIT market continues to carve a strong trajectory, with exceptional growth seen across the office sector. Multinational companies, especially GCCs have driven record leasing activity, which now accounts for a significant share of the nation’s Grade A office stock. There has also been a growing preference among occupiers for premium grade assets, thereby significantly benefiting REITs. All three office REITs in India achieved occupancy rates close to 90% at the end of Q1 2025.” A fourth office REIT in India is expected to make its listing debut by the end of the calendar year 2025. With 48 million sq ft of Pan-India Grade A office space (37 million sq ft operational and 11 million sq ft under development), Knowledge Realty Trust, which is backed by Blackstone and Sattva Developers is expected to become one of the largest real estate investment trusts listed in India. Looking Ahead The Asia REIT market is poised for continued evolution as it navigates the dual forces of mature market stabilization and emerging market expansion. “We expect the mature markets of Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong to focus on enhancing operational efficiencies while grappling with the

Observed Surface Sample Grades up to 28,870ppm TREO and 23.2% TiO2 Belo Horizonte, Brazil – Newsfile Corp. – July 17, 2025 – Atlas Critical Minerals Corporation (OTCQB: JUPGF) (“Atlas Critical Minerals” or the “Company”) is pleased to report strong initial rare earth and titanium results from its Alto do Paranaíba Project (the “Project”), located in the western part of state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The project demonstrates significant potential for near-surface rare earth and titanium mineralization within the “Mata da Corda” Group geological sequence. SGS Canada,Inc. (“SGS”) was retained to prepare technical reports under U.S. Regulation S-K 1300. In particular, Marc-Antoine Laporte and Yann Camus from SGS are Qualified Persons for the Project. SGS is well-known as a global leader in testing, inspection and certification of mineral properties and projects. The Project comprises mineral rights totaling more than 25,000 hectares, strategically positioned within a major volcano-sedimentary geological sequence.

Notably, Block 3 showed high Nd+Pr averages up to 1,108ppm. Geological Setting and Mineralization Model The Project area benefits from intense laterization processes typical of Brazil’s tropical climate, which has led to enrichment of titanium and rare earth elements within the weathered profile. The mineralized sequence occurs within extensively oxidized zones of the Mata da Corda Group, with drilling reaching maximum depths of approximately 21 meters. The strong positive correlation between rare earth elements and titanium, combined with the sequence’s intense magnetism, makes the geological unit highly responsive to geophysical surveys, facilitating future exploration targeting.
