Strong Petrochemical Holdings Limited provided group earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The board of directors of the company based on the information currently available from the Group's management accounts, it is expected that the Group's unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2018 may record a significant loss as compared to the profit recorded for the same period last year, which is primarily attributable to the loss incurred in the trading of crude oil and oil product related derivative financial instruments for hedging and proprietary purposes as a result of the fluctuation in oil prices in the first half of 2018.
