Analytical program "However - Context"

We need to prepare for the worst scenario, it will be nice to make a mistake "- this is the leitmotif of almost all big newsmakers. But it’s obvious that the OPEC cartel created to protect oil producers was in an extremely difficult situation.

Whether the cartel members realized that keeping high oil prices meant helping competitors with shale oil, or they decided that it was better to mine at a low price than not to mine at all. Mikhail Leontyev watched the market panic and drew attention to the fact that the most pessimistic forecasts are given by his most active players.

Oil prices uncontrollably tend to zero on expectations of a slowdown in China, a flood of Iranian oil, and generally a wild increase in demand over supply, as we are trying to convince. Brent oil fell below 30 dollars per barrel and continues to fall. At the same time, the cost of OPEC oil basket - 25 dollars per barrel, Mexican Pemex sells oil at a loss, losing a dollar on each barrel, Canadian oil dropped to 15 dollars. “Our business is dying in the bud,” the Wall Street Journal quotes the owner of an oil company in Illinois. The newspaper refers to analysts at Barclays, who are expecting to cut spending on the industry by 20% this year after they have already dropped by a quarter last year.

The graph of falling oil prices, smoothed over current fluctuations, is essentially a straight line since last September, when prices fell from 50 dollars per barrel to current 29 dollars. What did the fateful thing happen in the world market in September? In September, Goldman Sachs lowered expectations for the average price of oil by 2016 a year, suggesting that it would fall to 20 dollars per barrel. "Expectations", "Goldman Sachs" supported "Meriel Lynch", "Bank of America" ​​and others.

So, Goldman Sachs 20 dollars is not a prediction. This is a target landmark. This is our Ministry of Economics is engaged in forecasts, and "Goldman Sachs" makes the market. The oil market is not a market for raw materials. Supply contracts with live oil are 2% per cent of the market, the rest are speculative papers, futures and other derivatives. Futures prices are not determined by the supply-demand ratio, but by “expectations”. The futures market is fully controlled by the largest US banks. This is the market of expectations, for which a real “Industry of expectations” has been created, formed by the notorious rating agencies, “independent” experts and the media.

As the hero of the film “Air seller” said, “I’m sure that I’m not going to make a merchant. But I can say that soon the funeral wreaths will be the most popular goods. The air is about to knock out gold. Air will become the most popular currency in stories. Now you understand where our honorable chef bends? Morgan, Rockefeller and all the other Fords combined. "

This wonderful mechanism for managing expectations and allows you to feed the market over and over again with the same rotten mantras. Here, we recall that the shale revolution in the United States, which allowed America to double production, became the base cause of the fall in oil prices.

The number of working rigs in the United States is steadily declining, amounting to date 2 / 3 from the peak value of 2014 year. At the same time, until recently, it was possible to keep production at a stable level - in the 9,2 area of ​​millions of barrels per day.

The phenomenon of American slate, which is worth nothing at all, even when it is not necessary to drill. As our classic Saltykov-Shchedrin used to say: "And so, rascal, give birth, they cried in a child of pride." In fact, the credit game of banks, allowing shale companies to keep afloat to the last, supports American mining. Because the drop in production in the United States can break the entire game. However, no such games were possible without a genie.

From the very beginning of the fall in prices, Saudi Arabia announced that it would not cut production, which completely paralyzed the traditional OPEC market control activities. From this point on, every statement by representatives of the monarchy pushed prices down. At the same time, Saudi Arabia itself ended the year with a budget deficit of 100 billion dollars, and the real production over the past six months has decreased by 400 thousand barrels per day. This is about 4% Saudi mining. "We will meet the demand from consumers, we will no longer limit production," said the Minister of Oil of Saudi Arabia in early January. To conjure a "genie", of course, can, that's just not necessary to exaggerate the sovereignty of Hottabych. Because on every Hottabych there is a Volka.

"The price of oil will stabilize by the end of the year and reach 50 dollars per barrel," the director of the Goldman Sachs Frankfurt branch said on Thursday. At the same time, it has traditionally associated the fall in prices with a slowdown in growth in China and a decrease in demand.

In the end, it is - samononos. If the "trick" in slowing down China, then from what oak does it suddenly start growing by the end of the year ?! And any speculative game can be successful if you stop in time. Looks like it's time.

To which Stalin remarked: but you did not try to give a forecast on the contrary - after all, the percentage will be more ... bully
              But seriously, at the beginning of 2014 there were a lot of specialists who claimed that by the end of the year oil would cost about $ 200. Now, apparently, they also say something like that, and they get money for their forecasts. fellow

            I did not watch the transmission. I read the text at work, judging by your comment, they did not read the text very carefully, in his review Leontyev points to those people who make the price of oil (futures) and the price of 50 bucks was not he said, but an employee of the German branch of Goldman Sachs

          What does Medvedev have to do with it, even considering that he is weak. Do you suppose the thought that his departure will change the situation. Attack, first of all, Russia. Along the way, China and this with its huge gold reserves. It seems that this is no accident. The goal is to prevent China from really helping Russia. To do this, he must be forced to spend reserves, create tension in the economy and turn his attention to internal problems. Judge for yourself how good American analysts are, who have managed to calculate Iran’s interest in acquiring our weapons and who have extended the sanctions on their accounts, where the billions that could be used for this purpose are frozen. It is not for nothing that the Americans spent so many years creating the world wide web to manage the global economy, in the center of which they are beloved as a poisonous spider. Russia needs utmost caution and accuracy in its actions, the smartest strategy for years to come, which allows working ahead of the Anglo-Saxons, special care in choosing partners (I am silent about the allies because in reality they are not). And, of course, we need a powerful economy and the Army. Otherwise they will crush.

          Dear non-lifting loans! Here is the cornerstone. It was specially laid in the Russian economy back in the 90s. Hence our problems with the production of everything.
          This virus (with the inability to obtain affordable credit, destroys our country) Starting from a mortgage and ending with production.
          Can you imagine what would happen to Russia for 25 years if we had a credit policy like in France, for example, or in the same states?
          Examples. Yes, complete. From scratch, a cousin of bureaucrats (the governor, minister) rushes to the bank and takes out loans on the most favorable terms. And wow, he is a successful businessman. Then the energy prices in the country! This is what you need to be ...... m! What would you do in your own country!? Fu, I don’t even want to print further.

        It seems that the United States has decided to play all-in, putting the entire world community on the line. They bluff endlessly and without edge. But there are fewer and fewer trump cards on hand. In addition, new players sit at the table and the chances of the United States to win its last game in a game called "world dictatorship" tend to fall.

        I agree !!! Only OUR government does not allow to develop. The price of oil 100 bucks-gasoline (95) 28 rubles. -It should cost the price of Europe (we were told) -the price of oil 30 bucks-gasoline (95) 33 rubles. (VAT). oil has fallen and according to all the "laws of the market" gasoline in our producing and processing country, the price of gasoline should fall. And the prices of food and other essential goods, including (depends on the supply in the first place). But last year, Mr. Leontiev expressed a "good" idea: T.k. oil prices are falling, then citizens must compensate for the loss, i.e. an increase in the price of gasoline is normal (I exaggerate, but the message was like that) .Conclusion - do not care about the market economy in the prices of oil, gas and fuel !!! will establish the STATE, something in the economy will move for the better. It is not for nothing that Gazprom was banned from advertising about the national treasure.

                  In general, the debit-credit looks normal, but it seems only at the expense of the population, that is, the people, otherwise you will have to curtail many programs, including the defense industry complex, which is very undesirable, in my opinion it is better to tolerate, this is where the game is built who will fall out of the circle.

                little bit feel most production workers try to avoid paying all taxes, otherwise you will go broke, for each employee you need to pay up to 80% of his salary to different funds! Well, why "glow" ?? if we are talking about small business - accounting is like a big one! It would seem - hang up the tax on the employee: let him pay to the pension, to the tax office to the health insurance fund! What is the point, then, to evade taxes and pay in an envelope? Let the employer only transfer information to the tax office - how much he paid and that's it! If the employee's salary is high, reward the employer with a reduction factor for the payment of income tax. Brains need to be turned on by the government to stimulate production!
                another option for loans - give a loan for new equipment, premises or materials at the same interest rates as now given by banks. After the Nth time - let's say a year or two, depending on the contract with the entrepreneur, when he plans to make a profit, compensate the interest rate up to zero if he brings a lot of money to the treasury! What is not an incentive ?? and how it will be possible to steal this money, if you are not given a penny in cash, but directly to the equipment manufacturer - ideally to OUR manufacturers! Plus, every year you report that you have given work to others, who also have to pay tax on salaries, which are "white"! So our state will strangle itself, what will it do! today he would rip off everyone and everything through fines for any reason, taxes, tariffs ... hi

      One of the reasons forcing Russia to create its own oil brand is an attempt to get rid of the speculative games of Western (mostly American) banks. After all, the price of oil is speculation, and whose rules, he wins.

      The author correctly noted that real oil contracts make up 2% of the mass of securities traded on the market. And they connect huge masses of printed evergreen candy wrappers. And when prices for these pieces of paper fall, this mass is released and begins to "rush" in search of where to invest ... The economy of mattress "did not want to grow", its stock indexes have been falling since the New Year regularly, and rather quickly. I like China in this regard. Tough guys. There, as in the mattress, there are a lot of small players, literally under a hundred million. The stock market "swelled" like a boa constrictor - a pure pyramid. Then it collapsed with a monstrous speed - well, said most of the minority shareholders, it was not lucky ...

      Someone in the 90s, foaming at the mouth, argued that the market would regulate everything itself, incl. and in an oil field. As you can see, it is not the market that regulates, but the policies of individual countries in a strong connection with speculators. Long live the "fairest" social system in the world - capitalism.

        Well, that was always the case with everyone, and I’m almost sure that it will be ..
        Any state wants to be strong and independent. But so that the neighbors are weak and dependent, and preferably dependent on you. That's from this simple conclusion that all politics is built. The rest is superficial verbiage.
        It’s possible to talk about the reasons for what’s happening, with a certain degree of awareness ... but to make a forecast, with the highest percentage of probability ... this is a lottery. Yes, tomorrow it can generally jam meteorite anywhere and all the calculations down the drain ...
        Life is beautiful because our plans are adjusted by external factors.
        But this, of course, does not mean that you have to give up and do nothing ... I’m generally very surprised why these dirty Saudis have no man-made disasters in the oil and gas industry ... Why are they doing so much shit so freely?

      (The graph of the fall in oil prices, smoothed in relation to the current fluctuations, is, in fact, a straight line from September last year, when prices fell from $ 50 per barrel to the current $ 29. What happened so fateful on the world market in September ? In September, Goldman Sachs lowered its expectations for the average oil price for 2016, suggesting that it will fall to $ 20 per barrel. Goldman Sachs' expectations were supported by Meriel Lynch, Bank of America and others.)

      An overview of the oil market, taken out of context, does not provide an objective picture of the macroeconomic situation, both within the country, and global options and trends. It seems that some experts, while juggling data, take away from understanding the overall picture. In short, there is little data for high-quality forecasts , Particularly worried about the lack of information about the proposed steps in the banking sector, because financial investments are the blood of the economy. hi .

      The beginning of the year was unsuccessful not only for the stock and foreign exchange markets, US treasury bonds are also not in demand by central banks around the world. According to the latest Fed data, after central banks sold US government bonds for $ 12 billion in the first week of the year, in the week ending January 13, they got rid of another $ 34,5 billion in securities.
      As they say, not everything is so clear however.

        You need to look not at the miserable pennies (Think that these miserable billions mean compared to 18900 billion debt) bought and sold. You need to look at what percentage they are implemented.

        The yield on five-year securities is only 1.456%; Only 1.456% of the loan rate is with the US government. Yes, all the enterprises of our country would have strangled themselves at such a rate on loans.

      I am inclined to the opinion of Leontiev, the modern financial and economic market is a pyramid, the Fed's printing press that works for wear and tear, a direct confirmation of this. The dollar, purely at the psychological level, is losing confidence in the world. By speculating and creating instability in world finances, the United States is trying to maintain the dollar’s ​​position despite the current situation. And so that the fragments of the pyramid would not bury the creators lay out, now, the burden on the whole world. And yet - to consider who where what a huge amount of dough cut down smacks of an ordinary toad.

      And it’s possible in more detail! Over the past 7 years, Russia has increased oil production by 40 million tons (from 494 to 534 million tons). Daily production in Russia has reached 10,8 million barrels! So in the total world overproduction (1,5 million .barr. \ day) -Russia’s share is substantial. And this is in case of falling prices. And it’s not going to cut it (plans for 2016 are 533-534 million tons). Let OPEC cut it, but we don’t!
