Junwei Electronics: The company has not yet supplied products to New Kailai Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd., and the companys products have not yet been used in lithography machines.According to news on April 2, in March, Chery Group sold 214,800 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 18.3%. Among them, Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. sold 197,600 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 10.9%; the group sold 62,200 new energy vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 125.4%; and exported 86,400 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 2.7%.On April 2, DBS published a research report indicating that the recent share price of GCL Technology (03800.HK) is expected to largely follow the cyclical changes in polysilicon prices. In addition, the government may introduce policies to control production or even eliminate backward production capacity, which will become a catalyst for the share price. It is currently expected that GCL Technologys production will drop by 30% this year, and the average selling price of products is expected to increase by more than 10%, offsetting the impact of the decline in production. DBS maintains a buy rating on GCL Technology. Considering that the profit recovery is slower than expected, it lowered its profit forecast for this year from RMB 1 billion to RMB 61 million. It believes that the average selling price will rise and costs will fall, and the profit will rebound to RMB 1.7 billion next year. The target price is lowered from HK$1.35 to HK$1.3.On April 2, market research firm Omdia reported that the annual revenue of the semiconductor market surged by about 25% to $683 billion in 2024. This sharp growth was attributed to strong demand for AI-related chips, especially high-bandwidth memory (HBM) used in AI GPUs, which led to an annual growth rate of 74% in the memory field. After a challenging 2023, the rebound in memory helped boost the overall market. However, this record year masked an uneven performance across the industry. The data processing sector grew strongly, while other key sectors such as automotive, consumer and industrial semiconductors saw revenue declines in 2024. These struggles highlight the weak links in the originally booming market.On April 2, DBS published a research report indicating that the restructuring of Agile (03383.HK) is ongoing, and as a valuable overseas asset in which it holds 45% of the shares, A-Life (03319.HK) may be included in the overseas restructuring plan, and part of the outstanding overseas debts may be offset through credit enhancement or debt-to-equity swaps. Therefore, the restructuring of Agile will put pressure on the share price of A-Life in the near future. In addition, there is still uncertainty as to whether the uncollected receivables from third parties and related parties can be recovered. Considering the limited profit prospects, based on the downward revision of revenue and profit margin forecasts, DBS further lowered the profit forecast of A-Life for this year and next year by 21% to 25%, maintaining the hold rating, and the target price was raised from HK$2.6 to HK$3.

Euro Region PMI Slows

In Euro Zone economic news, manufacturing growth in the area slowed last month as manufacturers faced supply shortages, high pricing, and a decline in demand, according to a study indicating that consumers shifted spending to tourism and recreation. In May, Euro Zone inflation reached an all-time high of 8.1%, according to a survey released earlier this week.

 

Chris Williamson, chief business economist at S&P Global, stated, "Euro area manufacturers continue to struggle against the headwinds of supply shortages, increasing inflationary pressures, and decreasing demand amid rising economic uncertainty."

Economic Weakness and Rising Inflation Pose a Major Problem for the ECB

The price movement implies that investors are concerned about inflation and slowing GDP, which might provide challenges for the European Central Bank (ECB) and its intentions to begin raising interest rates in July.

 

The ECB must boost interest rates in order to curb inflation. In addition, the measure might hinder the already declining economic expansion. If the ECB exerts excessive pressure, the Euro Zone economy might collapse excessively and too quickly, leading to a recession. This would make the Euro weaker.
