YFO has played a relatively upfront game for Toyo Construction (1890 JP) - badly at first, then better. 
With Takashimaya (8233 JP) and H2O (8242 JP) now more secure and cross-shareholdings more problematic, they will sell off their equity in each other but continue to work on joint projects.

Skyworth Group Limited (751 HK)'s latest buyback offers a minimum proration of 7.8%, although applying the last buyback two years ago, it's likely to be 13%+.

Hong Kong CEO & Director Dealings - 25th August 2022

Equity Bottom-Up

<p>Replacing coal-generated electricity with renewable energy to meet future carbon emission targets looks good on paper. Except when consumption surges in tandem with flood-impacted coal mines being shut down. This has resulted in varying degrees of production restrictions amid power curtailment in coke production areas. </p>
<p>Yesterday coking coal’s most-active January contract on China’s Dalian Commodity Exchange increased by ~6.9% to a contract high of RMB3,428 (US$532.80) per tonne. That's up from ~RMB1,800/tonne in the middle of July.</p>
<p>Coke, the processed form of coking or metallurgical (met) coal, is the key reducing agent of iron ore, the primary steelmaking ingredient.</p>
<p>Dalian iron ore closed 6.5% higher yesterday at RMB797.50/tonne, just below a session-high RMB799.50, the highest level since1st September. </p>
<p>S&amp;P summarised the provincial warnings by the NDRC, as it relates to power curtailment, as follows:</p>

<p> ... where green represents "smooth progress", yellow is a "relatively tough situation" and red presents a "very tough situation."</p>
<p>The coal chemical industry is highly susceptible to upstream and downstream industries. And rising raw materials (coke prices) will likely push steel prices higher.</p>

LightStream Research

LightStream conducts quantitatively rigorous and data-driven analysis with a focus on Japan and Asia.

We consistently cover the Tech, Consumer and Industrial sectors, and provide ECM and Events coverage more broadly.

We supplement traditional qualitative insights from company relationships with a robust quantitative foundation that examines as much historical data as is available.
We further refine the accuracy of our insights and calls through the use of alternative data to flesh out current trends, and through a valuation framework that emphasises non-superficial peer group selection and a proper attempt to understand the metrics and changes that have driven security valuations in the past.

<p>China Risun and cheaper compatriot Henan Jinma have enjoyed strong performance in 2021 as supply issues and a recovering economy have driven met coke prices to record levels and bolstered gross profits. Now, however, coking coal prices have risen so far that spreads appear to be under threat.</p>
