                               Inflation to Crowd Out Reform?
S&P 2012 GDP ESTIMATES:                 China CPI picking up . China’s March CPI was 3.6% higher YoY, above
                                                              up.
China: 7.7%-8.2%                        market expectations of 3.3%. On a MoM basis, the CPI was up 0.2%, while
Hong Kong: 2.5%-3.0%                    the producer price index also increased by 0.3% MoM. While on the surface
India: 6.8%-7.3%                        this may indicate rising price pressure - which would be negative for
Indonesia: 6.0%-6.5%                    prospects of further pricing reform in China’s refined oil product sector - we
Japan: 1.5%-2.0%                        note that February price levels may be distorted by the post-lunar new year
Korea: 2.8%-3.3%                        softness. Hence, we continue to believe the Chinese government will stick to
Malaysia: 4.4%-4.9%                     its program for further price reform this year, although we would watch for
Singapore: 2.0%-2.5%                    an aggressive uptick in inflation, which may scupper such plans, and may
Taiwan: 2.3%-2.8%                       even result in delays in price adjustments, as was the case in 2011. As it is,
Thailand: 3.5%-4.0%                     the 3.6% remains below the government’s 2012 inflation target of 4.0% and
U.S.: 2.1%                              this denotes that the government is reasonably aware of pricing risks.
Eurozone: 0.0%
                                        Price adjustments are sensitive to inflationary outlook Despite being
2012 INDEX TARGETS:                     based theoretically on a formula linked to a basket of crude prices, the NDRC
S&P 500: 1,450                          has shown significant reluctance to meddle with product prices when
S&P Euro 350: 1,170                     inflationary pressures are picking up. In 2009, when the economy was flirting
S&P Asia 50: 3,500                      with deflation, eight price adjustments were made, with diesel and gasoline
                                        prices ending the year some 18%-19% higher. By contrast, in 2011 when CPI
                                        inflation peaked at 6.5% in July, only three adjustments were made; diesel
                                        and gasoline prices were up by 6%-7% by year-end.


                                        EIA statistics due tomorrow The EIA will be releasing its monthly Short-
                                                             tomorrow.
                                        Term Energy Outlook report tomorrow. In line with the trend over the last six
                                        months, we expect a further downward revision in world crude oil and
Energy                                  liquids demand for 2012, although we think it unlikely the EIA will cut
                                        demand forecasts by another 290 kbpd as it did in March 2012. On the supply
Oil & Gas                               side, we will also look at the production recovery in Libya, which has so far
                                        picked up to 1.15 mbpd as of March 2012, from zero in August 2011. A pick-
Overweight                              up in Libyan supply should help offset falling Iranian production. We believe
                                        current price levels are acceptable for OPEC, given that the Saudis (principal
                                        holders of OPEC spare capacity) have been scaling back production by 200
                                        kbpd each in January and February 2012, from its peak of 10 mbpd.


                                        Iran signa ling a compromise; short-term crude price s may be capped
                                                                           short -                         capped.
Ahmad Halim, CFA
Equity Analyst                          Based on media reports, Iranian officials on Monday hinted that Iran may
                                        limit its stockpile of enriched uranium, ahead of a planned resumption of
                                        nuclear talks with the five permanent members of the UN Security Council.
                                        We believe the short-term crude oil price outlook may be capped by Iran’s
                                        show of compromise, but longer-term geopolitical risk remains; especially if
                                        Israel, so far accepting President Obama’s personal pledge of a nuclear-free
                                        Iran, decides to take matters in its own hands; in which case we expect a
                                        substantial, if temporary, spike in crude prices.

  • 1. Global Strategy Equity Research China Oil & Gas Sector Strategy April 10, 2012 Inflation to Crowd Out Reform? S&P 2012 GDP ESTIMATES: China CPI picking up . China’s March CPI was 3.6% higher YoY, above up. China: 7.7%-8.2% market expectations of 3.3%. On a MoM basis, the CPI was up 0.2%, while Hong Kong: 2.5%-3.0% the producer price index also increased by 0.3% MoM. While on the surface India: 6.8%-7.3% this may indicate rising price pressure - which would be negative for Indonesia: 6.0%-6.5% prospects of further pricing reform in China’s refined oil product sector - we Japan: 1.5%-2.0% note that February price levels may be distorted by the post-lunar new year Korea: 2.8%-3.3% softness. Hence, we continue to believe the Chinese government will stick to Malaysia: 4.4%-4.9% its program for further price reform this year, although we would watch for Singapore: 2.0%-2.5% an aggressive uptick in inflation, which may scupper such plans, and may Taiwan: 2.3%-2.8% even result in delays in price adjustments, as was the case in 2011. As it is, Thailand: 3.5%-4.0% the 3.6% remains below the government’s 2012 inflation target of 4.0% and U.S.: 2.1% this denotes that the government is reasonably aware of pricing risks. Eurozone: 0.0% Price adjustments are sensitive to inflationary outlook Despite being 2012 INDEX TARGETS: based theoretically on a formula linked to a basket of crude prices, the NDRC S&P 500: 1,450 has shown significant reluctance to meddle with product prices when S&P Euro 350: 1,170 inflationary pressures are picking up. In 2009, when the economy was flirting S&P Asia 50: 3,500 with deflation, eight price adjustments were made, with diesel and gasoline prices ending the year some 18%-19% higher. By contrast, in 2011 when CPI inflation peaked at 6.5% in July, only three adjustments were made; diesel and gasoline prices were up by 6%-7% by year-end. EIA statistics due tomorrow The EIA will be releasing its monthly Short- tomorrow. Term Energy Outlook report tomorrow. In line with the trend over the last six months, we expect a further downward revision in world crude oil and Energy liquids demand for 2012, although we think it unlikely the EIA will cut demand forecasts by another 290 kbpd as it did in March 2012. On the supply Oil & Gas side, we will also look at the production recovery in Libya, which has so far picked up to 1.15 mbpd as of March 2012, from zero in August 2011. A pick- Overweight up in Libyan supply should help offset falling Iranian production. We believe current price levels are acceptable for OPEC, given that the Saudis (principal holders of OPEC spare capacity) have been scaling back production by 200 kbpd each in January and February 2012, from its peak of 10 mbpd. Iran signa ling a compromise; short-term crude price s may be capped short - capped. Ahmad Halim, CFA Equity Analyst Based on media reports, Iranian officials on Monday hinted that Iran may limit its stockpile of enriched uranium, ahead of a planned resumption of nuclear talks with the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. We believe the short-term crude oil price outlook may be capped by Iran’s show of compromise, but longer-term geopolitical risk remains; especially if Israel, so far accepting President Obama’s personal pledge of a nuclear-free Iran, decides to take matters in its own hands; in which case we expect a substantial, if temporary, spike in crude prices.
