(Bloomberg) -- China Evergrande Group shares have had their best start to a year since 2012 after the developer said it plans to redeem a $2 billion convertible bond early, passing a liquidity test as it looks to substantially cut debt.The residential builder said it will redeem the remaining principal of HK$16.1 billion ($2.1 billion) in advance on Feb. 10, according to a filing Monday. The company will tap internal funds of HK$16.5 billion to pay the principal and interest, and the bond will be canceled.Evergrande closed 16% higher in Hong Kong to HK$17.26 Tuesday, the biggest gain since Sept. 30. The stock is also up 16% on the year, the best start in nine years, according to Bloomberg data. Rival developers including Sunac China Holdings Ltd. also surged in Hong Kong after data on Monday showed the nation’s residential sales reached a record last year.The company’s 8.75% dollar bond due 2025 rose 0.8 cent on the dollar to 81.61 cents in Hong Kong, according to prices compiled by Bloomberg.“For bond investors, it would be another milestone on debt reduction on top of recent efforts,” said Daniel Fan, a credit analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence. “It’s a show of strength especially when investors were still concerned about default risk three months ago.”Read more: Evergrande Will Find Out How Good Its Friends Are: Shuli RenThe developer, saddled with a debt pile of almost $120 billion last year, said the early repayment shows its cash strength, and reiterated its pledge to cut debt by 150 billion yuan ($23 billion) this year. China developers are under increased pressure to lower debt under new requirements imposed by China’s regulator known as the “three red lines.” Evergrande’s latest financial figures suggest it breached all three debt metrics under the new rules.Evergrande sold the five-year HK$18 billion convertible bond in 2018, allowing holders to convert their notes to equity by Feb. 14 at HK$33.24 apiece. The share price had been trading at less than half that recently before the redemption plan.

India is considering revising its foreign investment rules for e-commerce, three sources and a government spokesman told Reuters, a move that could compel players, including Amazon.com Inc, to restructure their ties with some major sellers. The government discussions coincide with a growing number of complaints from India's brick-and-mortar retailers, which have for years accused Amazon and Walmart Inc-controlled Flipkart of creating complex structures to bypass federal rules, allegations the U.S. companies deny. India only allows foreign e-commerce players to operate as a marketplace to connect buyers and sellers.

Dublin, Jan. 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Propylene Oxide Market Outlook 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The global propylene oxide market is anticipated to achieve a CAGR of 4% during the forecast period, i.e. 2021-2025. On account of the growing number of applications in a wide variety of end-use industries such as food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and others, the production of propylene glycol has seen a substantial rise in recent years. Propylene glycol is used as a chemical feedstock in the manufacturing of unsaturated polyester resins, medication vaporizers, hand sanitizers, airplane de-icing oils, and solvents for several compounds. The rising number of applications of propylene glycol derived from propylene oxide is another main factor responsible for the growth of propylene oxide market.The global propylene oxide market consists of various segments that are segmented by production process, end user and by region. Production process is further segmented by chlorohydrin process, styrene monomer process, hydrogen peroxide process, TBA co-product process, and cumene-based process. It is projected that the chlorohydrin process (CPHO) will account for a business value of around USD 4800 million by 2020. CHPO is the oldest process used in propylene oxide processing and held the highest market share in 2019.Based on end user, the global propylene oxide market is segmented into automotive, building & construction, textile & furnishing, chemical & petrochemical, packaging, electronics, and others, out of which, building & construction is the largest end user segment. Propylene oxide is used in the construction industry as a structural solvent for use in paints, adhesives, grout, coatings and waterproofing materials. In addition, the second-largest consumer of propylene oxide, an unsaturated polyester resin derived from propylene glycol, is used for reinforcing fiberglass to form fiber-reinforced plastics.Based on region, the global propylene oxide market is segmented into five major regions including North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa. The market in Asia-Pacific held the highest share in 2019 and is estimated to hold this position throughout the forecast period. China, India, Japan, Australia, and Southeast Asian nations are some of the main contributing nations. Growing application of propylene oxide in end-use industries, such as automotive, manufacturing, food & beverage, and others is anticipated to drive the demand for propylene oxide in this region. Furthermore, an increase in the demand for propylene oxide in countries such as China, India, Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia owing to growth in commercial construction is projected to trigger the demand for propylene oxide in the region.Some of the affluent industry leaders in the propylene oxide market are Dow, Balchem Inc, BASF SE, Ashland; Alfa Aesar, Thermo Fisher Scientific.; Sumitomo Chemical Co, Ltd., Huntsman International LLC, Lyondellbasell Industries Holdings B.V., Eastman Chemical Company and others.

Donald Trump has ordered U.S. agencies to assess the risks posed by Chinese-made drones in government fleets. The executive order requires the bodies to outline steps to mitigate any risks, including the removal of drones from federal service. Last month the Commerce Department added China's SZ DJI Technology to the U.S. government's economic blacklist. The world's largest maker of drones had no immediate comment on the new executive order. In January last year the U.S. Interior Department grounded its fleet of about 800 Chinese-made drones. Later in the year it ordered a halt to any further purchases of such devices. The Department of Homeland Security has also warned U.S. companies on risks from Chinese drones. It says officials have 'strong concerns' that foreign intelligence agencies could be given unfettered access to data from drones.
