Egypt indexes slide a hair, but EFG-Hermes rises
Reuters: [2008-05-19 15:52:00]
CAIRO, May 19 (Reuters) - Egypt's two main stock indexes dipped on Monday as short-term investors took profit from Sunday's 4 percent surge, but EFG-Hermes <HRHO.CA><HRHOq.L> jumped after announcing first quarter results, traders said.
The benchmark Case 30 index <.CASE30> shed 0.5 percent to 10,506.69 points, while the Hermes index <.HRMS> lost 0.6 percent to 91,013.84. Both indexes had jumped nearly 4 percent on Sunday, ending an eight-session losing streak.
Egypt's broader CIBC index <.CIBC> gained 0.6 percent to 521.79 points.
"I don't see the panic. I see consolidation, with the market going sideways for a while," said Teymour el-Derini of Beltone Financial. "Tomorrow when the market opens, it will open up."
Government moves to eliminate tax exemptions in some free zones, raise energy prices and impose a tax on treasury bill interest earlier this month had sent stocks tumbling as foreign investors shed shares, traders said.
They said short-term investors were now taking profit from gains on Sunday, while medium-term investors including foreigners were buying by end-session. Foreign investors were net buyers by 9.7 million Egyptian pounds ($1.8 million), and accounted for 21.8 perent of the day's trade.
EFG-Hermes, Egypt's largest listed investment bank, climbed 3.3 percent to 51.50 pounds after reporting a 39 percent rise in first quarter net profit to 348.5 million pounds.
Traders said the results, which were in line with market expectations, had boosted the shares, which had hit a year low of 44 pounds on May 13, down from over 68 pounds in January.
But other market heavyweights dropped including Orascom Construction Industries <OCIC.CA><OCICq.L>, which fell 2 percent to 371.01 pounds. Commercial International Bank <COMI.CA><COMIq.L> lost 1.1 percent to 78.50 pounds.
Regional mobile operator Orascom Telecom <ORTE.CA><ORTEq.L> lost 1.4 percent to 76.30 pounds. The firm said on Monday it had successfully tested its North Korean mobile network and planned to launch services in the second half of the year.

DEALTALK-China buying into BHP? It's the thought that counts
Reuters: [2008-05-16 11:49:00]
(For more Reuters DEALTALKS, click on [DEALTALK/])
By Tom Miles
HONG KONG, May 16 (Reuters) - Since Chief Executive Marius Kloppers said last week he had no doubt Chinese money would one day show up on BHP Billiton's share register, investors have piled in, expecting Beijing's cash sooner rather than later.
There is, however, no firm evidence of Chinese buying and Chinese sources say top officials, who would need to approve such a move, are tied up with the emergency response to Monday's devastating earthquake in Sichuan province.
But traders have followed Kloppers' "when, not if" script and lapped up a rumour on Wednesday and a thinly-sourced media report on Friday, driving up shares in the world's top miner to a record. BHP stock has risen 49 percent in eight weeks.
Many analysts say they are surprised China has not bought into BHP <BHP.AX> <BLT.L> already, since it is a powerhouse producer of the commodities, such as iron ore, coal and oil, that are desperately needed for China's rapid economic evolution.
"By buying BHP and Rio shares or investing in joint ventures, particularly in iron ore, Chinese steel producers and the Chinese government could hedge against rising commodity prices," CLSA analyst Matthew Whittall said in a note to clients.
And since BHP is trying to take over its main rival, Rio Tinto <RIO.L><RIO.AX>, it is logical for China to target both companies to hedge against an eventual merger.
"If you wanted to be sure of a seat at the table in the global mining game, it would make sense to have 10 percent of the world's largest miner," said one senior investment banker involved in the sector, who declined to be named.
Chinese aluminium giant Chinalco already bought 9.3 percent of Rio earlier this year in collaboration with U.S. partner Alcoa Inc <AA.N>, a stunning move that appeared to throw a $14 billion banana skin in the path of BHP's takeover bid.
Chinalco was widely seen to be trying to stop two of the big three iron ore suppliers joining forces to pump up prices for China's steel sector, the world's biggest.
The threat to BHP's takeover plan was sharpened by Chinalco and Alcoa reserving the right to make a counterbid for Rio, but that threat has not materialised and the idea has lost traction.
Chinese investment in BHP would signal that Beijing is more at ease with the BHP-Rio deal going through, since it would put China on both sides of the equation and inflate BHP's share price, the currency of the all-stock takeover offer.
Since BHP's bid for Rio, both firms have taken out the megaphones to try to win over shareholders, most of whom hold stakes in both companies. Rio argues that BHP undervalues its growth, but even CEO Tom Albanese has conceded that the potential synergies are compelling, at the right price.
And he and Kloppers appeared this week at the same Florida conference, setting tongues wagging once again.
If China wanted to block the deal, it might be expected to quash all talk of Chinese investing in BHP, since that speculation is buoying BHP's stock, improving the bid terms.
AUSSIE LIMBO
Although the Chinese have the economic firepower to buy all of Rio, they are uncomfortable with owning non-Chinese assets and are far happier with partnerships and agreements, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters recently.
He said China's investment in Rio was motivated by a desire to get a seat at the table. China would be keen to buy certain iron ore assets that a combined BHP-Rio would have to dispose of and wanted to push for a 20-year deal on iron ore prices.
But if China does want to get into BHP, it might find it a much tougher task than the raid on Rio, since that purchase prompted both London and Sydney to tighten their foreign investment rules, putting a bureaucratic hurdle in the way of any Chinese investment in BHP shares.
Investment bankers say there is a logjam of more than a dozen potential Chinese M&A deals in Australian commodities, including the entry of Chinese coal giant Shenhua Group into Australia. But those deals are in limbo while the two governments thrash out an understanding about China buying up Australian assets.
Chinalco avoided regulatory entanglements in Australia by restricting its buying to Rio's London-listed shares. But BHP has a much smaller London float, forcing any major buyer towards the Sydney market.
And a Chinese buyer would also face the conundrum of buying shares without tipping off investors, who anticipate another Rio-style windfall if, or when, China snaps up BHP shares.
"I would buy on the market as much as possible," said the senior investment banker, on how he would advise China.
"Talk to hedge funds and large option holders. As soon as you do anything quick the market's going to jump."
