/IRBIS, June 24, 2010/ - Finance & Investment House RESMI JSC
(Almaty, IFH RESMI) provided IRBIS overview of major events and
their investment ideas and projections for June 24, 2010.
Analysts of IFH RESMI are paying attention to investors on the
following important events in the markets now:
- On Wednesday, Federal Reserve System (FRS) USA has
decided to maintain the target range of the base interest
rate from 0% to 0.25%. The Fed once again made it clear the
market, which will retain a stake in "extremely low" for a "long
time". The key factors in maintaining the value of money at the
same low level was that conditions in financial markets have
become less supportive of economic growth. Also, there is a
continuing decline in bank lending in recent months. The U.S.
central bank keeps rate in the target range from 0% to 0.25%
per annum from December 2008, while during the reporting
period, the rate dropped 7 times. This measure is to reduce the
key interest rate, has become a key tool to maintain the level of
liquidity. Leading world's central banks resorted to lower rates,
allowing commercial banks to borrow at very low rates. The
move will mitigate the impact of the liquidity crisis arising from
the collapse of major U.S. financial institutions. Perhaps the
corridor 0-0.25% persists until the end of the year. Analysts of
IFD "RESMI" believe that the debt crisis of the euro area,
affecting the more expensive interbank lending, will not allow
the biggest central banks to significantly increase the rate in
the short term. To compare: the base rate of the European
Central Bank is currently 1% per annum, the Bank of Japan -
0.1% per annum, the Bank of England - 0.5% per annum.
- OJSC Wimm-Bill-Dann (WBD US), which opened last
Friday, a book of applications for bonds for 5 billion
rubles. Decided to increase the supply to 10 billion rubles.
It is possible that these actions taken by the company to
prepare for the upcoming redemption of its minority stake to
18.4% in Danone (DANO LN, DANOY US). In connection with
the merger and Danone Unimilk, WBD has expressed interest
in buying its shares from Group Danone. Collection of
applications for three-year bonds of 7 series of 5 billion rubles.
WBD began on Friday. Book bids shall close on June 25,
preliminary date on MICEX - July 1. Organizers
accommodation - Raiffeisenbank and VTB. A source close to
bidders, said that WBD has decided to increase the bond
placements, as demand exceeded supply, so it was decided to
produce an additional bonds for 5 billion rubles for the same
period. Also, do not exclude the fact that the borrowed funds
can be used to finance M&A, as WBD has already voiced its
intention to hold a series of transactions to acquire assets of a
number of milk in dairy end of 2010.
- Encana Corp, the largest gas company in Canada and
CNPC agreed to set up joint venture to develop oil shale
deposits of gas, which belongs to a Canadian company,
located in northern British Columbia. Randy Eresman, the head
of Encana, also said the company is going to attract more
partners to develop such an atypical gas fields, as the
company intends to double its gas production over the next five
years. CNPS will be the second company in the Asian region,
which will partner with Encana in the development of oil shale
deposits. In February, Korea Gas Corp announced that it will
spend more than $1.1 billion over five years to develop these
deposits and the acquisition of shares in the joint venture. This
agreement is the latest invasion of Chinese companies in
Canada at the moment, because China needs gas and oil to
meet the needs of its booming economy. Also this year,
Sinopec Group paid about $ 4.65 billion company
ConocoPhillips for a stake in the company SynCrude Canada
Ltd, which develops oil sands. Last year, PetroChina bought
60% in the Athabasca Oil Sands Corp, which is also
developing oil sands in Canada. Mining energy from non-
traditional places, like oil sands or oil shale deposit is changing,
more and more oil and gas companies are seeking technology
of extraction of "unconventional" oil and gas.
