委内瑞拉重油开发国际融资再有新进展。委内瑞拉总统查韦斯日前宣布,中国同意在未来三年投资160亿美元用于委内瑞拉重油项目的开采,将该项目石油产出提升到每天90万桶的水平。

查韦斯表示,访问中国的委内瑞拉代表团,与中方就在奥里诺科Orinoco重油带合作开发石油进行了讨论。委内瑞拉国家石油公司已经与中国一家国有石油公司签订合约,正式协议预计将在今年10月达成,此外查韦斯没有透露更多细节。

奥里诺科石油带位于东委内瑞拉盆地的南部,面积约5.4万平方公里,是世界上天然沥青和重油储备最多的地区之一。据估计,这一地区的原油储量有大约1.2兆桶。但是重油含硫量高,呈半固体状,开发困难,在炼化加工时还会对设备造成腐蚀。

Shanghai Daily: Tariff Cuts on Auto part (汽车零件关税下调)

discount auto parts 300x224 Shanghai Daily: Tariff Cuts on Auto part (汽车零件关税下调)CHINA reduced in tariffs on imported auto parts after it lost a World Trade Organization appeal. The WTO ruling late last year upheld a complaint from the United States, Canada and the European Union that China’s higher tariffs on imported auto parts violated international trading agreements. Such a ruling from WTO enforces China to reduce tariff on Auto Parts, which creates problems for Domestic auto makers but presents opportunity for foreign car makers and could potentially benefit consumers.

由于在WTO仲裁中败诉,中国政府不得不同意降低某些汽车零件的关税。在这样的背景下,国内汽车厂商的竞争性受到影响,同时外国汽车厂商鼓掌叫好,而国内汽车消费者也因此可能获得更加低价的外国汽车的好处。

A total of 141 big SOEs reported a net profit of 18 billion yuan, which is 30.8% down compared to the year before. The profitability of SOEs in China has always been a central topic of media. On one hand they are accused by media for holding monopoly or near monopoly status in the domestic economy and reaping exceptionally high profits, on the other hand some of the SOEs report unbelievably low efficiency and profitability. It is one of the top mandates for the state government to revolutionize SOEs towards higher competitiveness.

Glencore is one of the biggest commodity trading companies with focus on paper and derivative market. Some of the management of Glencore is from Philip Brothers who were one of the biggest energy and metal trading houses.

Personally I think Glencore is a healthy component in CIC’s portfolio. The particular attractive part of Glencore is its low overheads, high leverage and focus on paper market. Such a business model makes Glencore’s Return on Equity/Return on Asset super attractive compared to other commodity trading houses such as A (ADM), B (Bunge), C (Cargill) D (Dreyfus). With a potential for another commodity bull run in the near future, paper trading companies such as Glencore could well possibly benefit if there is a market rally again.

中国日报消息,中投公司可能考虑投资Glencore.Glencore是全球著名的大宗商品投资公司之一,主要业务集中于能源和金属的衍生产品投机。对于中投来说,投资大宗商品类公司还是头一遭,可谓探路石阶段。

In fact, in the distribution of benefits, the Government are doing better than the company. Vanke, for example he said that last year handed over 50 billion yuan of revenue to the government, more than its dividend distributed to shareholders by 4 billion yuan.

Feng Lun believes that if the real estate market continues to develop at the current pace, the consequences will be very serious, mainly because a monopoly interest may eventually become a small group benefits.

RMB unlikely to be freely traded (自由兑换尚太早)

D Cutler Illustration 23040 243x300 RMB unlikely to be freely traded (自由兑换尚太早)According to the head of Foreign Reserve Management Bureau, Mr. Liu Guangxi, it is unlikely for RMB to be freely traded in the near future unless a complete internal control system is established. According to Mr. Liu, the trend of RMB appreciation and internationalization is very clear. However, USD will continue to be the dominant international reserve for at least the next decade if not longer.

在美元汇率持续下滑的情况下,市场对人民币的升值预期有所升温。国家外汇管理局资本项目管理司司长刘光溪近日坦言,当前人民币存在升值压力,中国仍是资本净流入国;因此,这是中国进一步推进资本帐户自由化的好时机。但他同时强调,除非能保证建立起全面的监控和风险预警系统,否则中国不能完全放开资本管制。

刘光溪表示,要改革国际货币体系,只以一种主权货币为基础是无法持续的。中国当局正在鼓励海外直接投资,人民币将逐渐被承认为全球性货币。他续称,人民币将在全世界愈来愈普遍受到承认,更多地用于贸易及资本交易,这是无法逆转的。刘光溪亦承认,当前人民币还存在升值压力,中国还是资本净流入国。

对此,中国人民大学金融与证券研究所所长吴晓求表示,在目前汇率体制下,人民币缓慢升值将是个趋势。“任何一个货币国际化,都是一个升值过程,不可能是贬值过程,因贬值就没人要,就不可能国际化。”对于未来国际货币体系变化,吴晓求相信,未来十年美元的地位不会动摇,仍然是世界上最重要的货币。美元与人民币未来将相互共存,共同发展,共同维护全球货币体系的稳定。

事实上,基于人民币的升值预期升温,市场也开始憧憬将有更多热钱涌入中国套利。广东省社科院产业经济研究所副所长黎友焕亦指出,在近日境内外远期市场一年期美元兑人民币报价出现约千点价差的时候,已发现当时的热钱流动开始变得十分活跃。不过,由于学界对于未来人民币升值与否难以确认,因此目前判断热钱会否急速流入仍为时尚早。但人民币升值无疑是一个影响热钱流动的重要因素。 Read the rest of this entry »

It is a clear sign that international capital’s appetite on Chinese asset has not waned in the current global financial crisis.
