ARE THERE OPPORTUNITIES IN battered oil and gas stocks? In the wake of the recent general election, which saw a massive change in the political landscape, the local equity market was sold down heavily, with sectors such as property, construction and infrastructure bearing the major brunt. Other sectors such as gaming, brewery and even the high-flying oil and gas (O&G) sector were not spared. Is this a case of irrational panic selling, especially when a sector such as O&G is seeing crude oil prices touching record highs of around US$ 110 per barrel recently (see price chart). With investors scrambling to find out values in stocks that have been bashed down indiscriminately, some analysts are sticking to their view that sectors such as O&G may stand out as survivors, given their still sol...

Can crude palm oil prices hold? SINCE early February 2011, crude palm oil (CPO) prices have been declining fast from their peak of approximately RM3,950/tonne to approximately RM3,000/tonne currently (see price chart), sending some concerns down the industry. In tandem with that, the year-to- date (YTD) performance of most of the plantation stocks have also under-performed the benchmark index of FBMKLCI by a considerable margin (see table). Given the weaker prices, it probably is not surprising that plantation stocks have not been in favour recently, says local research house Kenanga Research.

Activity in the world economy remains solid. Over the past year, global growth has been the strongest recorded for several decades. High private consumption in the US and strong investment growth in China have been the main driving forces, but the recovery has broadened to many countries. However, the growth peak appears to have been passed, and there are prospects that global growth will slow. Inflation has slowed again after accelerating in the US, the euro area and the UK in the second quarter. High oil prices have still not translated into higher inflation, and underlying inflationary pressures remain moderate. On the other hand, high commodity prices have increased the uncertainty surrounding inflation in the period ahead. Expectations of an interest rate increase in the US and the...

IS IT TIME TO POP THE champagne for airline stocks? Share prices of airline companies had been sold down heavily since last year as crude oil prices soared to a record high of US$ 148/barrel, lifting aviation jet fuel prices in the process to its similar high. However, the commodity's price has since fallen substantially and fell to as low as around the US$ 90/barrel level recently before settling at around US$ 104 at the time of writing. Given that the rise in crude oil prices was the dominant reason for the sell-down of airline stocks then, with its current decline, should investors buy back airline stocks as a counter-play to the falling crude oil prices? If so, then Malaysian Airline System Bhd (MAS), as the listed national carrier, can certainly be a stock to watch in the next few ...

Inflation has been slightly higher than projected. Measured by the consumer price index (CPI), inflation is now higher than 3%. A strong rise in prices for electricity and petrol has pushed up CPI inflation since autumn 2007. Inflation has increased in many countries. Oil and gas prices have risen further through spring. Capacity utilization in Norway is high. An ample supply of labor, strong productivity growth and considerable terms of trade gains through several years have boosted the growth potential of the Norwegian economy. Growth in the Norwegian economy seems to have slowed as expected in 2008 Q1. Enterprises in Norges Bank's regional network report high capacity utilization but moderating growth in most of the industries. Monetary policy in Norway is oriented towards annual con...

Money market rate premiums have been high and volatile. The difference between money market rates and central bank key rates has been the widest since the international financial turbulence started in August last year. Norwegian money market rates increased sharply after international risk premiums spilled over into the Norwegian market. Foreign exchange markets have also been volatile. Investors have shown interest in the large and most liquid currencies. Growth is also slowing in the Norwegian economy. Household consumption has stagnated and house prices are falling. Monetary policy in Norway is oriented towards annual consumer price inflation of close to 2.5% over time. In recent years, inflation has on average been somewhat lower, but fairly close to 2.5%. A deep and protracted glob...
