Meanwhile, JP Morgan Asia Pacific Equity Research said as the world draws closer to Covid-19 vaccine availability, it expects glove prices to weaken in 2H21. “Near-term concerns on rising costs, plus long-term overcapacity risk, spell downside risks. “We initiate coverage of Top Glove (RM3.50), Hartalega (PT RM8.50) and Kossan Rubber (PT RM3.80) with underweight ratings, ” it said. As for Top Glove, the world’s largest rubber glove manufacturer, JP Morgan said aggressive Covid-19 testing in developed nations has accelerated demand for gloves, causing supply tightness.
