The Oil and the Glory: The Weekly Wrap -- Dec. 3, 2011

23.05.12

A track risk called Iran: Back in September, New York oil analyst Edward Morse wrote a periodical called "Tail Risks and the Oil Market: Expecting the Unexpected." The weekly (if anyone finds an open-sourced on-line link for all to avail, please let me know) describes the outsized consequences of big surprises on oil prices -- "hurricanes, floods, refinery fires, tanker spills, accidents, terrorism, unpredictable geopolitical disagreement within OPEC," Morse writes, could drive oil prices through the roof, or by the skin of one's teeth as easily cause them to collapse. That quality, he suggests, makes oil a great investment channel -- for those prepared to accept the risks, of course. I write about the role of croup risks this month in Alberta Oil magazine. Others have noted this general law of physics -- Nassim Taleb named it the " sulky swan " affect; coming from another angle, Stephen Greenblatt calls it " the turn aside ." For the rest of us, there is a focus on the pure impact on our lives, which at the moment includes what will chance with Iran. Will it develop nuclear weapons? If stymied by sanctions, imposed this week by the U.S. and Europe, will it send Hezbullah against Israel? Will it blot out the Strait of Hormuz?  Will it elect to withdraw its 2.2 million barrels a day of oil exports off the bazaar, as the Financial Times' Javier Blas asks? The FT published a column by two British writers who advance that we might be "sleepwalking into a war with Iran."

The Obama administration is attempting to traverse the shoals by shaking the stick of death-strike sanctions, but not actually majestic them. As this blog has suggested, tough sanctions can bite, but companies and countries in the final analysis figure out how to bypass them through the good offices of smugglers and assorted other wily middlemen. Yet the backside risks remain. This is especially so with a nation like Iran, whose essence of power lies in its minacious hint of roguish mischief.

In Russia, Putin always wins: If you credence in the polls, Russians are going to convey unambiguous dissatisfaction with their rulers in tomorrow's elections. Take from $110-a-barrel oil is pouring in to Russian coffers, yet many of the country's citizens over that is not enough, these polls say. The pro-Vladimir Putin United Russia party can no longer rely even on the in of ultra-right groups, reports Reuters' Thomas Grove. One can of worms with these analyses is the suggestion that Putin stands to be the big loser. The bigger victim by far would be President Dmitry Medvedev, who in a gentleman's deal with Putin is stepping down to run for prime minister; should the election result in the foreseen Laodicean support for United Russia, it is Medvedev who might be sidelined from political power. As for Putin, he will go on to strive with another day in March presidential elections.

Regardless of the election outcome, another fatality of the crusade is the warm-and-fuzzy aspect of the U.S.-Russia "reset" of relations. In Putin's conclude, it does not seem possible that scrutiny of his political plans can be home-grown; it as a substitute for is a western-funded conspiracy .  As part of the new brinksmanship, Washington and Moscow have unveiled dueling ballistic missile-defense plans . In Moscow, Medvedev says the U.S. proposal is a threat to Russia's atomic strategy. In the U.S., a senator accuses the Obama Administration of falling for a Russian tidings trap , and is blocking confirmation of Obama's nominee for ambassador to Russia -- Michael McFaul, the coiner of the incumbency reset -- until he has written assurance that no classified missile defense materials will go to Moscow. What is going unstated in the back-and-forth is that there is no proven U.S. anti-missile technology a place-century after then-President Ronald Reagan set the country on a course of creating a brickbat shield.

U.S. energy liberty, bananas and hucksterism: The world appreciates enthusiasm, which has been in short supply the last three or so years, and so it is not surprising that purveyors of the latest fervor -- an apparition of force independence in the world's most gluttonous oil-consuming nation -- are getting intrinsic mileage. Is the U.S. truly on the brink of accounting for its entire energy requirements, as experts keep too revealing reporters? A month ago, this blog attempted to drown this infatuation in cold invalid -- no, the U.S. is nowhere close to meeting its own oil demand -- but to no avail; it reappeared this week on folio one of Wall Street Journal . The newspaper reports that, for the first time since 1949, the U.S. is exporting more diesel, gasoline and other fuels than it imports. That is a put in order conflation of definitions -- when most people think fuel , they think oil . So if you say exports are hastily exceeding imports, you can turn a lot of heads; people might start running down the avenue shouting hallelujah and other exhortations (this in fact happened in terms of matching stories by Reuters , Bloomberg and the Fiscal Times ).

But should we be excited? Imagine the humble banana. Suppose that the United States imports 9 million of this elongated fruit a day, and consumes 7 million of them. What would you say if hard-working Americans turned around and exported 2 million banana splits? Would you say that Americans are on the point of banana independence? Of course not. As the WSJ writes further down in the piece, the development reflects a timorous U.S. economy as compared with Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Singapore, which are the paramount booming economies snapping up the oil products turned out by U.S. refineries.

Renewable go to the trouble in China: Is China inexorably swallowing up the nascent global renewable liveliness industry? In a long take , the Financial Times' Leslie Hook and Ed Crooks sift why Chinas's solar and wind industries are looking decidedly mortal of tardily. Starting with the decade-long history, Chinese Communist Party leaders noticed and tenacious to respond to their colliding calculus -- booming energy demand and catastrophic staining. The answer was a colossal bet on renewable energy technologies -- $54.4 billion in business and private spending last year alone, plus $47 billion in credit lines from shape-controlled banks.  As a result, two Chinese companies -- Sinovel and Xinjiang Goldwind -- are in the magic's top three wind-turbine makers, and "seven of the world's 10 top manufacturers [of solar voltaic panels] are Chinese." Yet these makers are buffeted by the same pressures fa all: The world's biggest solar and wind markets -- Spain, Italy, Germany and the U.K. -- are scaling back. In China, too, a rooms of standing wind turbines are idle. It does not help that these industries have been built not on pure and simple state ambition to dominate, but on political connections. The two wind-makers cited above -- Sinovel and Goldwind -- are recipients of in the main investments by a fund co-founded by Wen Yunsong , the only son of Premier Wen Jiabao. One suggestion is that such investments are not automatically in quality companies. Another is that these companies may be less formidable than they might seem.
