I am not staying in a low cost house and using public transport like rr88. I do not invest intraday to make peanut profit. I invest for a few months to a year.
I invest base on good fundamental, I think it is still a long way to go. Refinery stocks in the worldwide market are still very bullish, no worry on a small correction. The crack spread is still very high, we need the crack spread to be around USD25 to USD30 is good enough to make a very good profit. I am prepared to take this risk.
HRC is the place for me to practise my trading skill with C24. Petronm is for my investment and if I am trapped at Petronm, I can still expect a yearly dividend.
Since shifu also said he can buy more lower and cheaper share at next week means he also expect the share price will drop more lol. I also want buy lower and cheaper, but confirm not above RM 5. Above rm5 let those clever shifu buy first...
In Q1 22', HY has reported quite a significant derivative loss and in my opinion it is likely explained by the following:
As i had mentioned earlier, as a pure refinery now (unlike during Shell’s time where they owned retail kiosks), it would be mandatory to hedge the crude (LONG) and hedge the refined oil (SHORT) at the same time and same quantity 100% - all the time every month as typically done by pure refiners.
Since 14% of their crude at the end of Q4 2021 (about 1.57 billion) is of Russian crude. When the valuation of this oil is made as per market value at the end of Q1 22' when it is no longer tradable, it will have zero value, i.e it will result with pure hedging loss.
While for the balance oil it would have resulted as hedging gain as the crude oil price was moving up.
Let us do the math:
PART 1 …….
Russian oil: 14% x 1.57 billion inventory (end of Q4 21’) = 210 million Final valuation is zero, thus hedging loss: - 210 million (likely occurred in Mar)
PART 2 …….
Crude oil hedging:
The Brent price approximately changed from $ 77/brl (in Dec 21’) to $ 108/brl (in Mar 22’).
Hedging gain: 3.5 million barrels (monthly hedging) x (108 – 77) x 4.25 exchange to MYR = 461 million
Refined oil hedging:
The Refined oil price approximately changed from $ 83/brl (in Dec 21’) to $ 127/brl (in Mar 22’).
Hedging loss: 3.5 million barrels (monthly hedging) x (83 - 127) x 4.25 exchange to MYR = -654 million
Net hedging loss from refining margin swap: -654 + 461 = - 193 million
PART 3 ……….
NOTE: this above is excluding the inventory write down of 131 million that they had paid but unable to utilize.
PART 1 + PART 2 + PART 3 explains all that what we are seeing for Q1 22’ PAT.
For Q2 22’ expect PART 1 & PART 3 to no longer be there while the net hedging loss in Q2 can be zero (as the gain in crude oil price between end of Mar and end of June appears to be matching the gain in refined oil during the same period). The hedging gain and loss will cancel each other.
Thats my contribution after decoding the price from its noise. Then take the trend, cycle and season and finally reassemble it back to its original form.
we have not observed such phenomena in other refinery as none of them:
1) buys russian oil and,' 2) sell 90% of their refined oil to Shell (who decided in Mar 22' abruptly that they will stop buying russian oil) 3) do not have their own retails kiosks to avoid hedging
Waiting for almost one month for the pullback below 6. Still early for the next spike, so just sit back and stick to your plan and ride along the waves when you know you are heading to the right direction.
When you see people come out with all sorts of calculations like what happened to gloves, then it’s time to sell. If market is so easy everyone is millionaire
