AGL faces the perfect storm
Andreas Lundberg
August 17, 2020
In what’s been a terrible year for the energy sector, AGL is the latest company to disappoint. Its full-year results included a steep drop in profits and signalled that there’s worse to come next year. While AGL intends to maintain its attractive flow of dividends, I’m not convinced this will be enough to tempt many investors given the negative outlook. continue…

How to profit from a rebound in oil prices
Roger Montgomery
May 13, 2020
After 30 years of investing, I’ve learned that three or four times each decade a market reaches a historic level, either high or low, that investors shouldn’t ignore. Right now, the most obvious opportunity is the historically low oil price. Investors seeking to profit from an oil price recovery have several avenues to consider. continue…

Recent reports suggest that Centre Alliance has convinced the Federal government to introduce measures to cut gas prices on the east coast. Given the importance of gas prices to the east coast economy, this is a really important step. The question is: how successful will it be? continue…

Domestic vs. international gas prices
Andreas Lundberg
April 12, 2019
I have previously shared my view on Australia’s high energy prices and why investing in new coal producing power is a bad idea. Today, I would like to revisit what has happened in international liquefied natural gas (LNG) markets and compare it to what is happening to domestic gas prices. continue…

Who’s worried about oil prices?
Lachlan Mackay
December 4, 2018
The price of oil has slipped to a 2018 low of under $60 per barrel, but what does this really mean for us? As usual, it appears difficult to predict ongoing impacts in the economy, even for the experts. In the US, NPR reported Oil Prices Hit a New Low. Here’s Why That Might Be a Bad Thing, suggesting that a rapid drop in oil prices may be normal, but when combined with the recent stock market decline and trade tensions indicates that the global economy is softening. continue…

Oil Creeping Back Up
George Hadjia
October 8, 2018
Oil prices, after falling from the highs of over $100 per barrel in 2014, had previously struggled to push above $60 per barrel. That has now changed. With Brent crude at north of $80 per barrel, it is now almost double the price it traded at during mid-2017. This has implications not just for oil producers, but for virtually every company reliant on consuming oil-based products. continue…

Will new LNG import terminals cut the price of gas?
Andreas Lundberg
June 27, 2018
Australia has more than 257 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of gas resources and 885 TCF in prospective resources.* And we’ll soon be the largest gas exporter in the world. But, somewhat shockingly, new gas import terminals are about to be built on our east coast to cut the price of gas. I hate to be a doomsayer, but I don’t think this is going to work. continue…
