It is still very damn cheap compare to the fundamental =) Those haven't on board. Is your chance. It takes time to setup a new refinery to cover the demand. Even it can, supply or crude oil is also a question mark. This issue will not be solve within near term. Refinery margin will stay elevated for sometimes.. HY will make the best record profit in 2022.
Hong Leong Investment Bank Research (HLIB) said refining margins are at an all-time high due to structural issues.
“Our findings have led us to believe that the surge in refining product margins is a lingering problem arising from structural issues including the surge in demand post-pandemic, supply shortage due to years of under-investment and environmental, social and governance-related pressures, as well as sanctions on Russian oil.
“All of them would not be addressed in the immediate term,” it said in a report on Tuesday.
The research house pointed out that even before the Covid-19 pandemic, fossil fuels have been demonised as an energy source deemed to be environmentally harmful and going against the decarbonisation movement globally.
According to Bloomberg, old Western refineries have struggled to compete while environmental regulations have increased costs.
“The fuel-demand collapse triggered by Covid-19 only turbo-charged the trend, resulting in dozens of refinery operations shutting down for good in Europe and the United States in 2020 and 2021.
“While new capacities have emerged in China, the country controls how much fuel refiners can export so that capacity is effectively out of reach of the global market,” HLIB said.
“The sanctions on Russian oil had exacerbated the situation,” the research house pointed out.
Russia was a major exporter of not just crude, but also diesel and semi-processed oil that Western refiners turned into fuel.
“Europe, in particular, relied on Russian refineries for a significant chunk of its diesel imports. Now that sanctions are in place, Europe not only needs to find extra crude to produce diesel and other fuels, but crucially, it needs the refining capacity to do so,” HLIB said.
let apple post a bit here la.. apple long time disappear already... apple need to inform a lot of things... everyday up 5% cannot post anything, one day down 3% so big deal have to inform this inform that hahahaha joker apple
Brown gold. You are not my match. I let you know whats wrong with you if you dont know. I hv worked all over the world n dealt with all kind of people. Your mental standard is at very low low level. If you want to upgrade, from now on you talk about market. Dont talk about people.
Apple. Perception and reality are two different things. Perception causes fear. Fear is emotion. Manage your emotion well to trade markets. HY numbers will be stunning for the rest of 2022. This is rational, not emotional.
Just another FUD Did you short Sri Lankan market? You would be on a pussie / c0c k fest if you had shorted their market and not here whining shorting Malaysian market. It’s perfectly fine you’re back here on a down day.
The truth is the US is exporting their inflation to other countries which in effect creates an inflationary environment and starts an interest rate hike cycle. We saw BNM just did that last week!
