09.06.11 16:03
/IRBIS. June 9, 2011/ - BCC Invest JSC has provided IRBIS with a
survey of main events, market reviews and investment ideas for
June 9, 2011.
The analysts expect negative opening of trades amid decrease of
quotations of stocks and depository receipts of Kazakhstani issuers
in London yesterday, but, according to "BCC Invest" JCS forecast, in
the afternoon, the negative impact of the external background will
gradually disappear, and KASE index end the day near the neutral
point or with a moderate decline.
Analysts of JSC "BCC Invest" expect the following
developments in international markets today:
- OPEC failed to reach consensus on production quotas.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)
was unable to reach a consensus on production quotas at a
meeting on June 8, said OPEC Secretary General Abdullah al-
Badri, at a press conference after the meeting, was reported
by Bloomberg. During the meeting, views were expressed
about the need to take a decision to increase quotas.
According to him, production of the cartel in May amounted to
29 million barrels per day. He also noted that the situation in
Libya was not discussed. Later, the chairman of the meeting,
Acting Oil Minister Mohammad Aliabadi said that formally the
quotas until the remains at 24.845 million barrels per day.
However, he stressed that OPEC countries were unable to
reach a unanimous verdict. He also noted that the president of
OPEC will be able, if necessary, to collect an extraordinary
meeting, and yet within three months, analysts cartel would
closely monitor the global market. Following the meeting, the
experts during the live broadcast on the site of OPEC have
expressed confusion about this decision cartel. They noted
that the organization could announce that maintained the
quota at the same level as did so many times. However,
countries have opted to declare that failed to agree. According
to analysts of JSC "BCC Invest", the decision of OPEC will not
have significant impact on the quotations of oil in the medium
term, and the current surge in quotes is speculative.
- Board of Directors of ENRC PLC was abandoned by four
directors. June 8, 2011 ENRC PLC released results of the
annual general meeting of shareholders. Abdraman Edilbaev
and Edward Utepov did not stand for reelection to the board of
directors. Johannes Sittard, Chairman of the Board of
Directors, announced that the group began a detailed review
of ENRC corporate governance. This review will be conducted
within three months, whose goal is to create a management
structure that will meet the best UK corporate governance
practices. The President also said: "In general, our view for
2011 remains unchanged, according to the situation, published
in the Interim Management Statement on 12 May 2011. As a
result of the EGM two directors have left the board: Kenneth
Olisa and Sir Richard Sykes, against whom it was given to
83% of the vote. Analysts of JSC "BCC Invest" believe that this
news will have some negative impact on share prices of ENRC
PLC due to confirmed market expectations about the
controversy on the board of directors and a possible change of
control. In the daily survey from April 18, 2011, JSC "BCC
Invest" referred to the disagreement on the board of ENRC
PLC, while the media reported that several directors, without
names, have expressed their desire to leave the board of
directors. Another source said that Sir Richard Sykes, Ken
Olisa and Sir Paul Judge were concerned about compliance
with the UK regulator of financial markets. Until now, there is
uncertainty regarding a claim FQM in $ 2 billion over the
disputed asset Kolwezi. Positive aspect was the message that
the position of the leadership on business activity in 2011
remains unchanged and, hence, the development strategy
remains unchanged. Analysts of JSC "BCC Invest" leave their
current recommendation to "buy" with target price of ?10.80
per share.
