China Reserves Edge Below $3 Trillion as Yuan Pressure Increases
Note: The last time such a thing happened was last year when China sold their treasuries to buy gold/bullion. That pushes gold from US$1000 to US$1300 (also when I started prompting at CNMC-Gold Mining Company forum)
Could this be the same again?

Mr Pua Seck Guan, Chief Executive Officer of Perennial, said, “FY2016 has been an eventful year as we commenced strata sales of the office and medical suites at TripleOne Somerset and AXA Tower for trading profit, and recycled our capital to increase our investment in a higher yielding asset, Chinatown Point mall, in Singapore.
In China, the key focus was to manage the development of Perennial International Health and Medical Hub (“PIHMH”) and Chengdu East High Speed Railway (“HSR”) Integrated Development Plot D2 (“Chengdu Plot D2”) to create the signature showcase of our integrated real estate and healthcare strategy.
Much effort was also spent on building the platform of our healthcare business in China through partnerships and joint ventures with the best operators in the market.”
Mr Pua added, “This year, we remain focused on the core markets of Singapore and China with our efforts centred on accelerating the strata sales at TripleOne Somerset and AXA Tower, preparing PIHMH and Chengdu Xiehe International Eldercare and Retirement Home (“Chengdu Xiehe Home”) at Chengdu Plot D2 for the commencement of business, and strengthening the performance of our operating assets in Singapore and China, all of which will boost recurrent income streams.
With the commitment by the Beijing government to establish Beijing Tongzhou District as the new sub-centre of Beijing, Beijing Tongzhou Integrated Development is ideally positioned to benefit from the enhanced infrastructure and connectivity, and the escalating property value.”
FY16 results highlights
PREH posted FY16 net profit of S$35.1m, -39.6% yoy on a 6.4% dip in revenue to
S$110.2m. Although full-year revenue was slightly ahead of our estimate, net profit was below largely due to impairments and revaluation losses taken for the Shenyang Red Star Macalline Furniture Mall and Eden Residences in Singapore, partly offset by revaluation surplus from the Perennial International Health and Medical Hub. Stripping out exceptionals, core net profit would have been S$0.3m, 37% of our forecast.
Singapore impacted by impairments and lower rental income
Singapore made up 54% of FY16 revenue and 16% of EBIT. Revenue fell 4.4% yoy due to lower rental income from TripleOne Somerset on lower occupancy after commencement of AEI. EBIT was adversely impacted by impairment provisions for Eden Singapore and revaluation deficit from Capitol Singapore. PREH recently monetised part of its stake in TripleOne Somerset to Shun Tak and this could create some income vacuum from FY17 onwards.
China earnings growth likely to be 2H loaded
In China, committed occupancy at the Perennial International Health and Medical Hub has crept up to 60% and is scheduled to be operational from 3Q17. In addition, one tower at Chengdu Plot D is expected to be handed over to Chengdu Xiehe Eldercare Home and is expected to commence operations in 3Q17. P1 is expected to have a capacity of 960 beds and pre-marketing activities for these homes have started.
Maintain Add
We think FY17 earnings would likely be back-end loaded with new contributions from Chengdu expected to be felt from 3Q17. Hence, we cut our FY17-18F EPS to factor in the reduced stake in TripleOne Somerset and push out the pace of contributions from Chengdu and Beijing projects as well as delay the sale of the remaining Eden Singapore units.
Our RNAV falls to S$1.79, and our TP is cut to S$1.08 (a 40% discount to RNAV).
Key risk is slower-than-expected roll-out of its property and healthcare business.
Germany brings its gold stash home sooner than planned
Germany's central bank is bringing home gold reserves stored in places like New York and Paris faster than planned, it said on Thursday, as confidence in the euro ebbs even in the heart of the currency bloc after a decade of a sluggish economy.
Stashed away at the height of the Cold War in safe havens well out of Moscow's reach, the 3,378-tonne, 120 billion-euro gold stockpile has become a symbol of Germany's economic ascent and a guardian of its stability.
