Asia-Pacific Agrochemical Issuers Have Buffers for Middle East War Risks, Fitch Says

Asia-Pacific agrochemical issuers are capable of cushioning against increased freight, fuel, and input costs due to the Middle East conflict, preventing near-term rating pressure, Fitch Ratings said in a recent release.Nufarm (ASX:NUF), UPL (NSE:UPL, BOM:512070), and Syngenta Group have narrow direct vulnerabilities from the region, differentiated sourcing, and ample inventory serving as buffers for the first-round impact on earnings, Fitch said.Fitch expects supply chain disruption to not be impactful enough on the issuers' credit profiles in the near term, especially with operating flexibility and geographic diversification.Issuers' credit strength will also gain support from their business mix, although this would be uneven across products, with seeds the most staunch due to their key role in crop planning and fertilizers being more exposed amid a growing share of farmers' costs.The impact of crop protection lies between the other two products since its demand is less inelastic than food demand, Fitch said.The rating agency still sees dampened near-term profitability due to a gradual and initially incomplete cost pass-through.

China Keeps Key Lending Rates Steady in April

China kept its benchmark lending rates --- loan prime rate or LPR --- unchanged in April after posting a better-than-expected economy during the first quarter despite the ongoing Middle East conflict.The People's Bank of China held the one-year LPR at 3% and the LPR of five years or more at 3.5% for the 11th consecutive month, according to a Monday press release from the central bank.Analysts from ING expected no changes to the LPR, following the country's first-quarter economy, which remained within the year's target range of 4.5% and 5%.Official gross domestic product grew 5% during the period, according to last week's data from the National Bureau of Statistics. It came after inflationary growth in March slightly eased 1% from the 1.3% hike in February.Yu Song, UBS Securities' China economist, said the government might be taking a "wait-and-see" approach as it takes time to evaluate the impact of the conflict between the U.S. and Iran, according to a Sunday report from CNBC.In an April 16 note, ING's chief economist for greater China, Lynn Song, said China would likely need to introduce more financial stimulus if external demand starts to weaken.Official data from the NBS showed that exports in March rose 2.5% but have been a drag compared to the 21.8% surge in the period between January and February.Still, China outperformed its international counterparts amid the oil price shock brought by the Iran war, ING's Song said."This came despite widening U.S.-China yield spreads. The main factor in the near term is likely the People's Bank of China signaling tolerance for further appreciation after briefly pushing back on it before the Iran war," Song said. "Sentiment may also have been buoyed by renewed talk of a potential 'petroyuan' emergence after reports that Iran wished to collect tolls on passage through the Strait of Hormuz in CNY (renminbi)."
