Why the global LNG price is heading north
Andreas Lundberg
January 15, 2021
Over the last couple of months, international LNG prices have been rocketing up.

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…

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…

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.

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…
