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. This is bad news for overseas consumers of our LNG exports and domestic consumers of gas, but could be positive for our gas producers and the Federal Budget, due to higher tax collections. The question is, how long will this run last? continue…

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…

Which direction next for east coast gas prices?
Andreas Lundberg
July 8, 2019
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…

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…

Have we reached peak stupid on electricity?
Andreas Lundberg
April 10, 2018
Sometimes you have to ask yourself this question when you read ideas put forward by politicians. Take the recent proposal from a group calling themselves the Monash Forum. They want the government to fund, build and operate a new coal fired power station to address rising power prices and the outages that east coast Australia experienced in the summer of 2016/17. There are many reasons why I think this is a BAD idea. continue…
