Why weakness in Chinese property doesn’t support increasing iron ore prices
Andreas Lundberg
March 10, 2022
In May 2021, the iron ore price peaked at USD$238/tonne before plunging to USD$80 last November. Since then, the price has rebounded around 75 per cent. But is this rebound warranted? I don’t think so – if you consider the slowdown in Chinese property construction, which accounts for about 42 per cent of Chinese steel demand, and high iron ore inventories at Chinese ports. If fundamentals mean anything, the iron ore price is about to fall again. Continue…

Where to find growth in 2022
Andreas Lundberg
February 10, 2022
With the first reporting season for the year now upon us, investors should have a good idea of what to expect in 2022. With the worst of the pandemic (hopefully) behind us, the end of lockdowns and border closures, one thing we are likely to see this year is a changing of the guard on the ASX. That’s certainly reflected in the estimated earnings per share growth for each sector, released by JP Morgan. Continue…

What is the LNG industry really worth to the WA economy?
Andreas Lundberg
January 21, 2022
If you think the giant Liquefied Natural Gas industry is a tax and jobs creating engine for the West Australian economy, you might be surprised by some recent research by The Australia Institute. They have found that, in 2020/21, tax collected was around half the money generated from motor vehicle registrations. And LNG jobs represented less than 1 per cent of total jobs. Continue…

M&A activity explodes in 2021!
Andreas Lundberg
December 15, 2021
A couple of years ago, I wrote an article highlighting the steep uptick in M&A activity in 2018 involving companies in Australia with 109 announced transactions with a total transaction value of $92 billion when applying a cut-off of $100 million in transaction value. As our financially aware readers are probably aware, there has been significant M&A activity in the Australian market over the last year and as we approach the end of the year, I thought it would be interesting to see how 2021 compares to previous years. Continue…

Andreas Lundberg
December 9, 2021
If Bitcoin mining were a country, it would rank as the world’s 55th largest electricity consuming nation, just ahead of New Zealand. And that’s the best-case scenario. In reality it could rank even higher. Continue…

Unemployment figures surprise negatively
Andreas Lundberg
November 15, 2021
On Thursday 11 of November, the monthly unemployment numbers from ABS were released and disappointed the market by increasing by 0.6 percentage points from 4.6 per cent in October to 5.2 per cent. The consensus amongst forecasters was a slight increase to 4.8 per cent so we can understand that the market took this negatively as it is quite a large variation and also a sharp reversal of the trend of falling unemployment that we have seen since the peak at the initial phase of the pandemic.
