20.01.2022 Oil prices mixed as coronavirus spike casts shadow over U.S. demand Reuters | 6 July 2020 1:15pm AEST | By Florence Tan SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Oil prices offered up a mixed market snapshot on Monday, with Brent crude edging higher, supported by tighter supplies, while U.S. benchmark WTI futures dropped on concern that a spike in coronavirus cases could curb oil demand in the United States. Brent crude rose 18 cents, or 0.4%, to $42.98 a barrel by 0252 GMT after a 4.3% gain l...ast week, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $40.42, down 23 cents, or 0.6%, from its previous settlement on Thursday. U.S. markets were closed on Friday to mark July 4 holiday celebrations. Amid rising numbers of coronavirus cases in 39 U.S. states, a Reuters tally showed that in the first four days of July alone, 15 states reported record increases in new COVID-19 infections with parties over the holiday weekend possibly leading to another spike. "There will be some kind of decline in demand if cases were to increase as people will stay at home," said Howie Lee, an economist at Singapore's OCBC bank. "The pace of U.S. demand recovery will not be as steep as expected." For now, analysts at ING bank said data for several cities in affected states show no significant reduction in road traffic week-on-week. "We will get a better idea of what impact tighter restrictions in several states have had on gasoline demand with the EIA (Energy Information Administration) report this week," ING said in a note. The implied volatility for Brent crude has dropped to the lowest since prices started collapsing in March as some in the market remain focused on tightening supplies as production by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) fell to its lowest in decades with Russian output dropped to near targeted cuts. OPEC and allies including Russia, collectively known as OPEC+, have pledged to slash production by a record 9.7 million barrels per day (bpd) for a third month in July. After July, the cuts are due to taper to 7.7 million bpd until December. U.S. production, the world's largest, is also falling. The number of operating U.S. oil and natural gas rigs fell to an all-time low for a ninth week, although the reductions have slowed as higher oil prices prompt some producers to start drilling again.

20.01.2022 Meet the ‘turnaround expert’: he’s here to help your business

20.01.2022 Afternoon Everyone, Just a quick round up on this weeks events. I hope you are all well and avoiding an overwhelming sense of claustrophobia.... Australian shares edged lower on Friday as escalating U.S.-China tensions outweighed hopes of a speedy recovery for the domestic economy from coronavirus-led lockdowns, although the benchmark was on track to post a fourth straight weekly gain. The S&P/ASX 200 index fell 0.3% to 5,532.1 by 0206 GMT, but the benchmark is set to record gains of over 2% for the week. U.S. President Donald Trump warned that Washington would react "very strongly" if Beijing imposed national security laws on Hong Kong. Back home, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said he wants most social distancing curbs to be removed by July under a three-step plan, raising hopes for a faster economic recovery. "We have had a good week on markets and need to rest," said Henry Jennings, senior analyst at Marcustoday, adding that worries about U.S.-China relations are "weighing a little." Among sectors, the healthcare sub-index dropped 1.5% to lead declines on the benchmark, with industry giant CSL accounting for the bulk of the losses. Heavyweight financials sub-index rose as much as 0.9%, with top lender Commonwealth Bank of Australia and National Australia Bank being the biggest gainers. Retail conglomerate Wesfarmers recouped some losses following a 1.4% drop after flagging a substantial non-cash impairment charge in its low-priced retail chain, Kmart Group. Top miners BHP Group and Rio Tinto led gains on the mining sub-index as iron ore prices rallied on concerns over tightening supplies from virus-hit Brazil. However, coal miners Whitehaven Coal and Yancoal Australia extended losses on news that biggest coal importer China may tighten coal import rules in the second half of 2020. New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index fell 0.4% to 10,693.39, with Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corp easing 1.4%. Ok, so those are the facts. My biggest concern after talking to senior analysts at DNR and Implemented Portfolios is the ‘China Crisis’. If you remember, China and the USA were on the verge of a full trade war a little time ago. The fact that Western economies, health systems and most of all, human beings have been impacted means we are seeing a major escalation of tension in relationships with the West and China. This, in my view poses the biggest threat to economic stability. Once again, I warn against over optimism about the recent small recovery in the market as I believe volatility will continue for some time to come. As I said in my communication last week, there is light at the end of the tunnel, but how long is the tunnel? Have a great weekend everyone and please feel free to ring if you need to chat. Stay safe.
