Oschadbank energy

July 2nd, 2009

Government proposed thermal power utilities regular repayment scheme for natural gas consumed in the past heating season. To do this, Cabinet is ready to issue teplokommunenergo gosgarantii to attract loans Oschadbank to 3.8 billion UAH. This mechanism would exacerbate problems of the industry, fearful kommunalschiki.

Yesterday, the Cabinet issued a decree number 644 of 22 June, which approved the granting of state guarantees utility thermal power (CTV) to attract Oschadbank credit in the amount of UAH 3.8 billion to settle debts for consumed in 2008-2009, the natural gas.

The ECB will keep rates unchanged, will have to consider other measures

July 2nd, 2009

European Central Bank (ECB) for the meeting on Thursday will keep the base interest rate unchanged at a record low - 1% per year, analysts predict, interviewed agency Bloomberg.

The fact that in June in the euro zone was recorded decline in consumer prices year on year, underlines the challenge faced by European regulators, trying to balance the need to curb deflation and its unwillingness to take additional measures to stimulate the economy out of recession, writes The Wall Street Journal.

According to preliminary data, the Statistical Office of the EU, consumer prices in the region declined in June at 0.1% compared to the same month of 2008. The annual deflation in the region recorded the first time since the beginning of tracking such data in 1996.

The June decline in prices was largely due to falling energy costs compared to the same month the previous year, but the continued weakness of the economy also played a role.

ECB seeks to keep inflation at a level slightly less than 2%. Management previously warned that reducing the cost of oil could lead to the fall in consumer prices. Currently, the bank continues to believe that deflation, which includes long-term decline in prices and wages is unlikely. Nevertheless, some analysts said that the risk of deflation increases.

Statdannye on the European economy is still talking about her weak condition, despite some positive signs. Unemployment in Germany rose in June to 8.3% from 8.2% in May. Government subsidies for employees of German companies have helped to curb the rise in unemployment, but economists warn that the decline in global demand will provoke massive lay-offs, which will lead to an increase in unemployment above 10% by mid-2010.

In Spain, house prices fell in the first quarter of this year at 7.6% year on year, a record decline since 1995. In Ireland, which is also struggling with a crisis in housing has been a decline in GDP in the first quarter to 8.5%. Read the rest of this entry »

The energy sector over the past two weeks strongly prosel, there is a question of technical correction after the fall of

July 2nd, 2009

On Wednesday, Russia presented a pleasant surprise, which it seems to expect only a few. Although the morning the mood of Russian investors remained positive due to a positive closure on Wall Street (all day SP and Dow-Jones traded to the uncertain trend, but by the evening of indices markedly grown up), but the agony of suspense will not happened - in the morning speculators have made a couple of fairly aggressive attempts force in the market down. But the market has shown an enviable resilience and growth of the leaders went out shares of Gazprom, Novatek and NorNikelya. By the end of the day from the mini-rally is not left behind even the bank shares, which last week had not used a particular demand. Among other things, on the MICEX stock much RusGidro who flew at 14.2% on a huge amount of $ 60mln (6 th place on the turnover on the stock exchange!) On the news about the imminent launch of the ADR I-level in the United States.

While we are not leaving the impression that the mini-rally environment is not justified by fundamental factors, we still can not admit that the rise yesterday was a very high quality - the volume of trades on the MICEX distributed throughout the blue chips, in the proportion who say the seriousness of purchases. Perhaps the market come major institutional investors, and on Tuesday and Wednesday it was buying from them.

The opening of the Russian market on Thursday can be a little lower due to the fact that the American indexes have not been able to maintain a high positive attitude until the end of trading session (losing almost 1% of the maximum of the day). In addition, should not go unnoticed and fairly sharp decline in oil prices due to growth stocks - Brent from $ 72 to $ 68/brr. However, we do not rule out that the quality buying to resume during the day, if the market does not receive new negative news.

We believe that the bulls again will buy shares of oil and steel companies. Moreover, it is not excluded interest in the energy sector companies on the background of the demand for RusGidro. In addition, the energy sector over the past two weeks strongly prosel, and the question of technical correction after the fall of the already overdue.
