Singapore Hot Stocks-Straits Asia Resources up on broker upgrade
Mon Jul 7, 2008 3:30am EDT

SINGAPORE, July 7 (Reuters) - Straits Asia Resources (STRL.SI: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) rose as much as 3.9 percent after Goldman Sachs upgraded the stock to "buy" from "neutral" with a target price of S$4.70.

Straits Asia Resources climbed to a high of S$3.08 with almost 5 million shares changing hands.

Goldman Sachs analyst Yoke Fong Chee said the stock in a recent selloff has fallen to an attractive level and offers high earnings growth potential.

"Straits Asia Resources's high growth profile and inexpensive valuations also underpin our turn to a more bullish view on the stock," Yoke said in a research note.

Goldman Sachs expects the company to get higher coal prices for 2009, and resource upgrades at the Jembayan coal mines, to drive share price outperformance.

Australia's Newcastle Coal Price Climbs to Record (Update1)

By Jesse Riseborough

July 7 (Bloomberg) -- Thermal coal prices at Australia's Newcastle port, a benchmark for Asia, rose 13 percent to a record for a sixth week amid reduced supplies of the fuel.

The weekly index for power-station coal prices at the port in New South Wales state gained $22.69 to $194.79 a metric ton in the week ended July 4, according to the globalCOAL NEWC Index. The price has doubled since the start of the year.

Australian producers, the world's largest exporters of the fuel, are switching output to semi-soft coal from thermal coal to take advantage of higher prices, reducing supply of power station coal, Mark Pervan, a senior commodity strategist with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. in Melbourne, said today by phone.

``That is tightening the thermal coal market; you are basically taking thermal coal supplies out of the market,'' Pervan said. ``That is an additional squeeze on the market so it is no surprise we are seeing these higher prices.''

The weekly globalCOAL index is up 46 percent since the start of May. The monthly index gained 18 percent to $163.68 a ton in June, from $138.31 the previous month.

Australian coal price to stay strong despite pullback
Alex Wilson, Dow Jones Newswires | July 03, 2008

A SHARP pullback in benchmark Australian thermal coal prices is a natural correction after a recent surge, according to analysts.

Market commentators also said prices in Asia were set to stay high with all the indicators pointing to ongoing tightness in the market.

I think it is just a short term profit taking from the record coal price, the demand remains
robust. (China relies on coal to fuel two thirds of its power plants)

Fri, 16 May 2008, 11:30:28 SGT OCBC
Rising oil and coal price. Recent rise in coal prices were a function of supply constraints from key coal supplying markets as well as port congestion issues, coupled with growing demand from countries such as China and India. The supply constraint issues have eased off slightly and this has allowed coal prices to pare off from the early 2008 levels. The high coal price at this stage should begin to flow into SAR revenues in FY08 and FY09. The present high price of oil could affect production cost, which in turn could result in some margin erosion. However, we had already taken this into consideration and factored in cost assumption of US$38 per ton for FY08 into our DCF valuations.

Maintain BUY. We are maintaining our net profit estimate of US$161m for FY08, based on the recent significant spike in coal prices coupled with the substantial increase in production estimates. We are lowering our projected coal price from US$80 to US$68 per ton as per management guidance and maintaining cost at US$38 per ton in FY08. The drop in selling price offsets the revenue gain from the increase in production estimate, hence we are maintaining our BUY rating and target price of S$4.80.

TA from OCBC 3 Jul'08:

The downwards trending MACD indicates that the underlying sentiment is still negative. Hence we expect the rebound to be short-lived and after which the downtrend would resume, retesting the support at S$0.78 and subsequently heading for the support at S$0.62.

Consumer confidence edges up in May

BEIJING, July 2 (Reuters) - China's consumer confidence index rose slightly to 94.3 in May from 94.0 in April as inflation eased a touch, the National Bureau of Statistics said.

The index distils consumers' attitudes towards current and future macroeconomic performance, their future earnings and plans for purchases of major durable goods into a composite figure.

The subindex representing consumer satisfaction with current economic performance stood at 90.2 in May against 90.1 in April; another subindex, surveying consumers' expectations about the economic outlook, rose to 97.0 in May from 96.6 in April. -- REUTERS

Shipbuilding & Repair

Shipbuilders' earnings set to accelerate in next two years
Tony Gray - Monday 30 June 2008 www.lloydslist.com

SHIPBUILDERS’ earnings should advance rapidly in the next two years but moderating order growth and the dramatic increase in capacity could represent downside risks further ahead.

This is one conclusion drawn from a major report on shipbuilding by HSBC, the global bank, which also underlines the increasing importance of the oil industry to shipyards.

The research points out that growth in the order backlog has slowed, although it is still ahead 39% on a year-on-year basis.

“With strong order growth in 2006-07 and a relatively solid orderbook, we expect earnings to accelerate in 2009 and potentially further in 2010 (i.e.up 30%-66%), despite rising steel costs,” HSBC says.

Even so, the shares of major shipbuilders have retreated from their peaks in the second-half of last year, as global economic uncertainties, the strong contracting activity during the past two years, tight credit markets, and the potential oversupply of the global fleet, have combined to increase the risk of a further slow-down in order growth in the near-term.

HSBC expects China to take the place of South Korea as the largest shipbuilding nation “in the not too distant future.”

The bank believes specialised shipyards, such as those with strengths in cruiseships, oil rigs, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and oil production, will survive while others will dwindle away as the low-cost Chinese builders gain market share.

HSBC says the most vulnerable shipbuilders are not those in South Korean, but the Japanese which have a comparatively higher cost base - 1.5 times South Korea’s and seven times higher than China’s in terms of average wages.

And the bank warns that the recent acquisition of a 39% stake in Norway-based Aker Yards, the second largest cruiseship builder after Italy’s Fincantieri, by STX Shipbuilding could indicate that western Europe may be starting to lose its hold on that market to South Korea.

With China’s capacity increases and new entrants from India, Vietnam, and the Philippines, HSBC has “no doubt that the growth of global shipbuilding capacity will accelerate through 2010.”

However, the strong order backlog and delivery demand should “mitigate the risk of excessive capacity in the next few years.”

The bank observes that various third party estimates peg global shipbuilding capacity growth between 50% and 90% from now to 2010.

“Capacities of the two largest shipbuilders, China and South Korea, are expected to double and increase 50%, respectively, by 2010,” the report says.

Aggressive expansion plans could lead to overcapacity if orders continue to moderate and cancellation increases.

“The excessive capacity may lead to weaker newbuild prices of new orders and lower margins.”

One of HSBC’s favoured shipbuilding stocks is South Korea’s Samsung Heavy Industries which it describes as a “deep water oil drilling and production play” with 70% of revenues associated with the oil sector.

Generally, fixed oil and gas platform investments are expected to reach nearly $50bn during 2007 to 2011, which is up 15% compared to the previous five years

Soybeans Rise to Record as Floods Cut U.S. Acreage, Hurt Yields

By Jeff Wilson

July 1 (Bloomberg) -- Soybeans rose to $16 a bushel for the first time ever on speculation that the worst Midwest flooding in 15 years will limit gains in U.S. production and inventories.

U.S. farmers may harvest 96.8 percent of the acres planted, down from an earlier forecast of 98.1 percent, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said yesterday in a report. The flood- damaged fields may curb the production increases the government forecast after farmers planted 17 percent more acres this year. Some fields may need to be replanted....................

SingTel Raises Stake in Globe
By CRIS LARANO and P.R. VENKAT
June 30, 2008; Page C5

MANILA -- Singapore Telecommunications Ltd. said Friday that it acquired more shares of Globe Telecom Inc., the Philippines' second-largest telecom company by sales, from longtime partner Ayala Corp. for 141.4 million Singapore dollars (US$103.7 million), boosting its stake to 47.34% of Globe's total common shares, up from 44.47%.

Even so, an investor-relations officer at Globe, Bobby Gayanelo, said the increase in SingTel's stake won't violate the legal limit of 40% foreign ownership in a Philippine telecom company.

He said the equity structure of Globe comprises common and preferred shares, with the common stocks accounting for only 45.6% of total equity. The preferred shares, which make up 54.4% of equity, are owned by Asiacom -- a holding company that is 60% held by Ayala and 40% held by SingTel.
