US Crude Oil Situation as of June 2016Bruce LaCour
This document analyzes the United States crude oil, gasoline, and diesel situation as of June 2016 based on data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. It notes that U.S. crude oil production has increased since 2008 due to tight oil production but has recently begun a steep decline similar to shale gas. It also states that crude oil production will continue to decrease as low-cost conventional production declines and is only replaced by more expensive tight oil and heavy oil. Higher oil prices will result and further damage the already declining U.S. economy.
The Federal Reserve should be cautious on interest rate increases due to lingering risks to the U.S. economy, one of its most influential policymakers said on Monday, appearing to signal the chance of a hike by the end of the year was fading.
An oil well operated by BP has been leaking millions of gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico since 2010, posing risks to wildlife and four American states. In response, the heads of BP and the US and UK governments are working to stop the leak and mitigate environmental and economic damages to the Gulf Coast region. BP has agreed to pay $20 million in compensation for damages caused by the spill.
The document discusses topics related to oil politics, including:
1) OPEC was formed in 1960 by major oil exporting countries to fix prices and limit competition against private oil companies.
2) Saudi Arabia plays a key role in OPEC as the largest oil supplier and can influence prices by varying its oil production levels.
3) Dependence on oil imports from the Middle East puts the United States in a difficult position geopolitically.

1. The document discusses light tight oil and unconventional gas, noting that global gas resources represent over 250 years of current production levels thanks to unconventional gas spreading resources more evenly between regions.
2. It notes that companies employing horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have targeted liquids-rich shales in the US, with light tight oil expected to grow production by 1.1 mb/d by 2016, cutting US imports.
3. Rolling back shale gas production would lead to a less secure and less sustainable energy system, with more trade dependence on conventional gas exporters and higher gas prices. Hydraulic fracturing can be done safely but requires following "golden rules" to maintain social acceptance.
- In January 2016, the Bord Gáis Energy Index fell 7% as wholesale prices declined for Brent crude oil (-7%), UK gas (-9%), European coal (-3%), and Irish electricity (-8%).
- Brent oil prices hit 12-year lows of $27.88/barrel in January due to oversupply and the lifting of Iranian sanctions.
- UK natural gas prices averaged 32.02 pence/therm in January, down from 34.16 pence/therm in December, as mild weather and ample supplies weighed on prices.
- Most energy commodity prices recorded losses in January as supply remained high and demand was weak.
Gold prices dipped in Asia on Friday as mixed data from Japan signalled continued easy monetary policies.
In Japan on Friday, the country reported that February national core CPI (excluding perishables but including energy) rose 2.0%, less than the 2.1% year-on-year gain expected, a 21st year-on-year rise but the smallest gain since 1.3% in March 2014.
The unemployment rate came in at 3.5% as expected, down from 3.6% in January, while the job offers to seekers index met its 1.15 expectation (115 job offers for every 100 people looking for work), up from 1.14 in January and posting the highest reading since 1.19 in March 1992.
This document provides a weekly report on commodity markets covering gold, silver, base metals, energy, and agricultural commodities. It includes analysis of price movements and factors influencing prices for various commodities over the past week. It also provides outlooks, technical analysis, and trading strategies for different commodities in the coming periods. Pivot tables with support and resistance levels are also included.
This document discusses the concept of "peak oil" which refers to the point at which global oil production reaches its maximum level and then begins a sustained decline. It notes that most oil producing countries have already passed their peak of production. When worldwide production peaks, it will cause spikes in energy prices and potentially devastating economic and social impacts. Alternatives can help but unless lifestyles change, new technologies will not be able to replace dwindling oil supplies. The lagging capacity of the oil industry to address depletion also poses challenges.
The document discusses the geopolitics of oil and its role in events related to September 11th. It summarizes that Afghanistan's value comes from being a potential route for oil pipelines from the Caspian Sea. It describes two major pipeline projects and participants. It also discusses Saudi Arabia's dominant role in OPEC and how they have influenced oil prices. Finally, it suggests Saudi donors supported extremist groups in Afghanistan, linking oil politics to September 11th events.
Gold prices fell due to positive equities markets and mild corrections in crude oil, while investors awaited developments in Greece's debt negotiations. China's natural gas pipeline imports from Turkmenistan and Myanmar increased substantially in March compared to the previous year. Copper prices rose sharply due to bottom fishing and a weaker US dollar, testing highs and lows during the session.
The document discusses Emirates airline and its president Tim Clark raising issues around fuel costs and seeking subsidies. It notes that fuel accounts for 35-40% of operating costs and that Emirates aircraft have an average age of 6-7 years, making them more fuel efficient. Emirates is asking the UAE government for subsidized oil and wants the UAE to hold discussions with the UK and Russian governments to help lower oil prices from suppliers like BP, Shell, and Russian companies. Emirates is also in discussions with Chevron to provide fuel at reduced rates.
1) The document discusses how news and market sentiment can influence asset prices in contradictory ways. Positive news about an asset class may cause its price to fall as increased confidence does not necessarily mean better accuracy.
2) It provides several examples from 2008-2015 of how news articles reporting on Federal Reserve decisions, oil prices, gold prices, and the stock performance of companies like Wockhardt and Suzlon impacted the prices of related assets like stocks and commodities in both positive and negative ways.
3) The conclusion is that asset prices often move inversely to very positive or negative news coverage, as people and decision-makers tend to act more based on surrounding views and opinions than underlying fundamentals.
Gold futures edged down on positive global economic data and concerns over continued US monetary stimulus. MCX gold futures fell 3% on a stronger rupee and positive UK housing data pressured base metals on LME. US natural gas futures rose for a fifth day on forecasts of above-normal temperatures boosting demand.
The document provides a global economic forecast for 2011. It notes that GDP growth softened in Q1 due to higher gas prices negatively impacting consumer spending and confidence. While job growth was strong in the first two months of the year, it weakened in May, raising doubts about further hiring. The forecast assumes current economic weakness is a temporary issue and growth will pick up in the second half of the year. Fiscal tightening and household deleveraging will limit medium-term growth.
The sustainability of trading profits has always been questioned. Volatility has returned to pre-crisis levels and, absent more disruption, the size of the opportunity will shrink.

The document provides information about Russia, including:
1. Russia has a land area 1.8 times the size of the US spanning 10 time zones, with a population of 143 million that is mostly Russian (80%) and also includes Tatars, Ukrainians, and others.
2. Russia has abundant natural resources like oil, natural gas, coal, and minerals, though most are located in remote areas. Today Russia's economy centers around oligarchs and the oil/gas industry.
3. Russia has large proved reserves of oil and natural gas, and is the world's largest exporter of natural gas and second largest exporter of oil. It uses its energy resources as a foreign policy tool.
Crude oil prices plunged in Asia on Monday with oversupply concerns gaining traction in the face of weak global demand.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, crude oil for delivery in February slumped 1.35% at $47.41 a barrel.
Last week, Brent oil fell to a five-and-a-half year low on Friday, as investors continued to focus on a glut in global supplies.
On the ICE Futures Exchange in London, Brent for February delivery hit a session low of $48.90 a barrel on Friday.
The 1973 oil crisis began when OAPEC proclaimed an oil embargo in response to the US support of Israel. This caused oil prices to rise dramatically from $3 to $12 per barrel. India was heavily impacted as it imports most of its oil and saw effects like deterioration of its balance of payments. Petroleum is used for much more than fuel, and is essential for many everyday products from plastics to solvents. If oil were to run out, daily life would change greatly with less reliance on vehicles, plastics, and global transport since alternate fuels have yet to be widely adopted.
The document summarizes a Vietnam Oil & Gas Report from BMI that forecasts Vietnam's share of oil demand and supply in Asia Pacific from 2010 to 2015. Specifically:
- Vietnam's share of regional oil demand is forecast to be 1.59% by 2015, while it will provide 4.11% of regional supply.
- Regional oil imports are growing rapidly due to demand outstripping supply expansion, and will reach 21.75 million barrels per day by 2015 with China, Japan, India and South Korea being the principal importers.
- For natural gas, Vietnam's share of regional consumption is forecast to be 2.85% by 2015, while its share of production is expected to be 4.01
Gas has become an important part of the American economy. When gas prices spiked in the early 2000s, the entire economy was impacted. Gas prices are dictated by crude oil prices, as gas is derived from petroleum. The largest crude oil producers are countries in OPEC, who can control prices by adjusting production levels. The most recent gas price increases were largely due to rising demand from developing countries like China and India, as well as OPEC restricting supply to increase prices. High gas prices negatively impact the broader economy by increasing costs of transportation and goods.
The document summarizes major events of the global financial crisis from September 2008 to mid-October 2008. It describes Lehman Brothers filing for bankruptcy, the US government bailouts of AIG and Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, bank mergers and acquisitions in the UK and US, the initial rejection and later passage of the $700 billion bailout bill in the US Congress, and massive government interventions to prop up banks in the US, UK, Europe, and Iceland. Stock markets saw historic volatility and declines over this period as the crisis deepened.

The document provides a daily trader report summarizing movements in global stock markets, commodities, currencies and economic headlines from Europe, Asia, Canada and the US. Key news included plans in Europe to impose taxes on Cypriot bank savings sparking market declines, and weak US housing data despite gains in gold. The report reviews performance of industries and numbers for various markets alongside headlines on topics like the Cypriot bank levy and Asian corporate deals.
Gold rose today morning to test the resistance area at $1946, where it may retreat to test the lower boundary of the upward channel, near the support area of $1935.
This document summarizes the outlook for commodities, particularly oil, given current global economic conditions. It notes that growth is slowing in Europe, China, and other regions, reducing demand. At the same time, oil production is rising, including increased US shale output. This combination of falling demand and rising supply has led to a 57% decline in oil prices since 2014. The document outlines several potential scenarios for oil prices and their economic implications, ranging from a bounce back if OPEC cuts production, to an "ugly" perfect storm scenario where oil prices crash through financial crisis lows without a quick recovery.
The global financial system experienced a major shock due to the subprime mortgage crisis that spread worldwide. Central banks took unprecedented actions to provide liquidity and cut interest rates. Major financial institutions collapsed or were bailed out by governments. The crisis led to a steep recession and continued high unemployment. While government stimulus programs boosted many economies, the global recovery remains fragile with the potential for new shocks.
The document provides a chronological overview of major global events that have shaped global commodity markets since World War 2, including the Bretton Woods agreement, Nixon ending the gold standard, oil embargoes, economic recessions and recoveries, geopolitical conflicts, and the rise of emerging markets like China. It then notes that while commodity prices declined in real terms for many years after the 1970s, prices have risen since 2000 due to factors like rapid industrialization and income growth in China and other emerging markets outpacing supply growth, as well as a sustained decline in the US dollar value boosting commodity prices.
The Australian share market ended higher on Friday, led by gains in the financials and materials sectors. Coates Hire upgraded its guidance for FY08 operating earnings growth to 20%, while Babcock and Brown Infrastructure acquired interests in three overseas ports. US stocks ended little changed after mixed economic data, with jobs growth stronger than expected but consumer credit growth weaker. European stocks gained on hopes for US rate cuts, while commodities were mixed with copper hitting a one-week high.
The document summarizes several key causes of the Great Depression:
1) After WWI, European nations owed huge debts from the war to the US but lacked wealth to repay. The US encouraged credit expansion, making repayments reliant on the US economy.
2) In the 1920s, low interest rates and widespread availability of credit fueled overproduction, risky investments, and consumer debt.
3) The stock market crash of 1929 exposed the debt problems and wiped out many individuals' savings, severely reducing consumer spending and demand. The passage of restrictive tariffs in 1930 further damaged global trade and the economy.
The FOMC minutes revealed disagreement among members about whether to raise rates in September. This uncertainty is causing volatility in markets. While some signals point to a rate hike, others suggest the Fed may pause due to concerns over a slowing Chinese economy and its potential impact on the US. Commodities have continued declining, suggesting weakness in the global economy. The Fed faces challenges in responding to economic troubles abroad while the US risks being impacted as well.
US stocks ended modestly higher after volatile trading as investors weighed strong economic data against more financial sector losses. European stocks fell for a second day on ongoing subprime worries. Commodities like oil, gold and copper rose, with copper boosted by potential Peruvian strikes. The US dollar hit record lows against the euro.
The document summarizes the current global financial crisis. It discusses how housing and stock prices have declined significantly in recent years in both the US and UK. Several large banks have collapsed or been nationalized. Governments have proposed large rescue packages to stabilize their economies, but the crisis could still lead to recession and negatively impact taxpayers, savers, and even some wealthy individuals who have lost billions in declining stock markets.
The document summarizes the subprime mortgage crisis and its global impacts. It began with loose lending practices in the US that led to a housing bubble. When housing prices declined and borrowers defaulted, it sparked a financial crisis as risky loans were bundled into securities that spread the risks throughout the global financial system. Major banks and financial institutions collapsed. Credit tightened globally and stock markets plunged significantly. The crisis also impacted economies worldwide through tightening credit, falling markets, and reduced trade and business activity. While government interventions helped stabilize markets, full recovery will take time as the financial systems remain fragile.
The document summarizes commodity trading in bullions, crude oil, and base metals. In bullions, gold and silver prices rose due to expectations of further monetary stimulus from the US and Eurozone to address economic concerns. Crude oil prices fell from 26-month highs as traders took profits and on worries about further debt crisis issues in Europe. For base metals, copper prices reached a new six-day high and were near an all-time record, supported by inflation hedging and declining currencies against a weaker dollar.

lot less than the bankers had previously imagined.
Nobody knew how big the losses were or how great the exposure of individual banks
actually was, so trust evaporated overnight and banks stopped doing business with each
other.
It took a year for the financial crisis to come to a head but it did so on 15 September
2008 when the US government allowed the investment bank Lehman Brothers to go
bankrupt. Up to that point, it had been assumed that governments would always step in
to bail out any bank that got into serious trouble: the US had done so by finding a buyer
for Bear Stearns while the UK had nationalised Northern Rock.
When Lehman Brothers went down, the notion that all banks were "too big to fail" no
longer held true, with the result that every bank was deemed to be risky. Within a
month, the threat of a domino effect through the global financial system forced western
governments to inject vast sums of capital into their banks to prevent them collapsing.
The banks were rescued in the nick of time, but it was too late to prevent the global
economy from going into freefall. Credit flows to the private sector were choked off at
the same time as consumer and business confidence collapsed. All this came a.

Meanwhile, President Obama traveled to China, Myanmar, and Australia for international meetings, where he faced criticism for his policies on immigration and climate change.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
