The oil markets
Oil prices fell in July, both the U.S. crude
benchmark WTI (-6.8%, closing at $98.2/
barrel) and Brent (-7.3%, at $103.9/barrel),
due to weak demand in the US and to the
situation of adequate supply of the markets.

The financial markets
The stock markets all registered declines in
July, with a fall of 1.5% on the US S&P500
index, 1.2% on the European DJ Stoxx50
and the Stoxx Europe Utilities sector index,
and 3.3% on the Italian FTSE MIB.
Stock markets were negativly impacted by
the intensifying crisis in Ukraine and the
Middle East; the European markets were
also hit by concerns about financial difficul-
ties experienced by the main Portuguese
bank (Banco Espirito Santo) and by worse
than exepcted macroeconomic data.
From a macroeconomic perspective, in the
United States (with reference to the month of
June, on a monthly basis), durable goods
orders were up (+0.7%), as were industrial
production and retail sales (both +0.2%).
The labour market also showed positive
signs, as unemployment benefits are at their
lowest level since 2006. The preliminary
GDP data registered a significant increase,
at +4% (QoQ annualised), from -2.1% the
previous quarter.
In the Eurozone, industrial production regi-
stered a decline at an aggregate level (-1.1%
in May, compared to the previous month), as
did all the principal countries, Germany (-
1.8%), France (-1.7%) and Italy (-1.2%). The
Zew index related to expectations for econo-
mic trends also fell (at 27.1 points in July,
from 29.8 in June). The ECB confirmed the
official reference rate at its current level
(0.15%).

The Snam stock roseThe stock markets registered
negative trends, impacted by
geopolitical tensions
Crude oil prices registered a
weak performance
Like the equity markets, the individual sec-
tors also registered a negative performance.
In particular, the automobile sector, which
was hit by lower than expected results from
several companies (Fiat), and the Oil & Gas
sector, which was dragged down by a fall in
oil prices caused by an oversupply that can-
celled out the impact from geopolitical ten-
sions. The raw materials sector bucked this
negative trend, boosted by better than ex-
pected data regarding the Chinese GDP
(+7.5% in Q2).
The utility sector registered a decline, negati-
vely hit by the prospect of EU sanctions
against Russia for the situation in Ukraine,
which impacted several integrated operators.
In July, the utility sector registered a decline
of 1.2% compared to the previous month.
The positive effects from the growth of regu-
lated companies, boosted by reform of the
Spanish energy system at the start of July
(Enagas +6%), were cancelled out by the
decline of integrated companies, which were
hit by the performance of several operators
penalised by high exposure to Russia (E.on -
6.3%) and by the payment of the 2013 final
dividend (SSE -7%).

The Snam shares and its peers
in the Stock Markets
The Snam stock closed July with an increa-
se of 0.2% (at €4.41 per share), outperfor-
ming both the Utility sector and the Italian
market.
The share, which in the first half of the
month was negatively impacted by the juridi-
cal administration of Italgas ratified by the
Court of Palermo, outperformed the Italian
market in the latter half of July due to impro-
ved expectations for the H1 2014 results.
The stock’s average daily trading volume in
July totaled 8.7 million units, down from 9
million in June.

On 29th July the Snam Board of Directors, at
meeting chaired by Lorenzo Bini Smaghi,
approved the consolidated half-year report to
30 June 2014 (subjected to a limited audit)
and examined the consolidated results for the
second quarter of 2014 (unaudited).
Carlo Malacarne, Snam CEO, made the follo-
wing comments on the results:
“In the first half of 2014 the EBIT growth of
2.4%, as well as the remarkable increase in
net income of more than 21%, is the result of
our continued focus on operating efficiency
as well as the increasing contribution of asso-
ciates and the on-going optimization measu-
res in the cost of debt.
We remain committed to investing for profita-
ble growth and value creation for our share-
holders, confirming our selective capex plan”.
On 11th July the Court of Palermo has noti-
fied Italgas with the preventive measure of
judicial administration, pursuant to art. 34,
paragraph 2, d. lgs. 159/2011 (Code of anti-
Mafia laws and preventive measures, as well
as new rules on anti-mafia documentation,
under Articles 1 and 2 of Law n 136 of Au-
gust 13, 2010), concerning contractual rela-
tionships with certain suppliers.
The measure provides for Italgas' assets
administration is conferred to a collegial
management body appointed by the Court,
which has been given full powers to carry
out all the economic and entrepreneurial
activities for a period of six months, in order
to carry out the assessments assigned.
