Gazprom announced prices for delivery of gas for Europe

"Gazprom" announced prices for delivery of "gas for Europe" -While the price of Russian gas exported to the European Union is the real challenge of the current tensions between Russia and the member countries, the Russian gas giant Gazprom has suggested, at a conference of investors, the price that should be practiced during this year towards its European partners.

The price of Russian gas exported to Europe in 2009 vary between 250 and 300 dollars per 1,000 m3, has indicated Wednesday Chetinine Vladimir, Head of Europe North-east of the Gazprom export. Not forgetting to argue its "position", adding that Gazprom had used in its calculations the data from different agencies. ( Gas Crisis: The operator of the giant Gazprom convened at Putin  )

For countries of the former Soviet Union, Gazprom has approved in December 2008 in its budget price of $ 220 likely 1,000 m3, although a possible drop to $ 200 is not excluded. Finally, what is officially announced.

According to the Russian Ministry of Energy, gas exports in January-March 2009 reached 26.2 billion m3, down 56.2% yoy. Numbers at a level significantly below the previous quarter on account of the particularly important that a gas conflict between Russia to Ukraine earlier this year ... that the Russian press has neglected to specify. ( Russia / Ukraine: this is still gaze more! )

In 2009, gas extraction in Russia is expected to reach 620-644 billion m3, exports could reach 190-196 billion m3. According to the Federal Statistics Service (Rosstat), the extraction of gas in Russia in 2008 grew by 1.6%, to 663 billion m3.

But all is not rosy for all ...

Not waiving any of their "old practices", Moscow warned Thursday through the voice of his Deputy Prime Minister Igor Setchine that the risk of disruption of gas transit to Europe continued.
"The risk was not eliminated. We can not even guarantee the stability of transit and are ready to explain our position," he said during a meeting with EU Commissioner for Energy Andris Piebalgs visits Moscow. ( Gasprom News )

After recalling that the Russian side was ready to finance the purchase of volumes needed for the proper functioning of the transit pipelines in Ukraine, Vice Prime Minister stressed that all those involved in the transit of oil "should be defined responsibilities ".

Earlier this month, Moscow saw a very dim view of the statement on the modernization of the gas system of Ukraine adopted by Kiev and Brussels. According to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, this agreement in effect contradicts the Russian-Ukrainian agreements on transport and transit of gas.

Recall that the text - which gives hope to Ukraine several billion euros of investments - was signed in Kiev, the European Commission and the Czech presidency of the EU and the World Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the European Investment Bank.

Unsuccessful negotiations, including Moscow had reacted by postponing a meeting of the Committee on economic cooperation chaired by the heads of Russian and Ukrainian government to analyze the situation.

Thursday, Commissioner Piebalgs has once again worked to reassure the Russian side on the agreement signed in late March between the EU and Ukraine. "There is no intention to isolate Russia or to make Russia more vulnerable. It really is an honest attempt on our part to modernize the transportation system," he said.

Chrysler: bankruptcy again after 30 years of decline

"Chrysler : bankruptcy" again after 30 years of decline  - The declaration of bankruptcy of the U.S. automaker Chrysler brand a new stage in the long decline of this pioneer in the industrial sector accumulated mistakes and financial setbacks, and finally today is the same situation 30 years ago.

In 1979, Chrysler had already been saved by public guarantees on its debt, which were the subject of a law passed by Congress.

The federal support and launch of innovative models then allowed the recovery of Chrysler, whose vehicles suffered major oil shocks of 1973 and 1979 and the Japanese competition. ( Chrysler declares bankruptcy )

In 1980, the group begins a thorough restructuring, led by the steel fist of Lee Iacocca, a former Ford. Chrysler then addresses the market for smaller vehicles due to an alliance with the Japanese Mitsubishi.

It was also ranked at the top of the cars, a concept invented and expanded in United States and Europe. In this way, tried to return to the old continent, where for a time owned the trademark Simca, in the early 1990s, with an Austrian factory where assembly of the Voyager. ( Agreement with TCA Chrysler in Canada  )

In 1987, recovered the famous Chrysler Jeep SUV brand, to purchase from the manufacturer Renault AMC, on the verge of bankruptcy.

With bold patterns, like the Dodge Viper sports coupe or cabriolet Plymouth Prowler, fans and motors are excited once again to look both left their wallets.

In 1998, Chrysler is associated with Daimler-Benz. Although the merger was announced as an equal partnership, the German group contributed 36,000 million dollars and took the direction of operations to the detriment of U.S. workers and engineers.

Plymouth, the mark of quality is supendida in 2001. Launched projects to reduce costs through technology exchange and in the German-American coupe Chrysler Crossfire.

A blend of innovations such as the adjustable brake pedal and the return of the rear propulsion, will ensure the success of models like the Chrysler 300.

However, the company lost its dynamism. First lost its alliance with Mitsubishi, punctuated by a scandal hidden mechanical defects. Then, as their competitor General Motors, its performance gradually drowned in social costs (pensions and social benefits).

In 2005, the creator of the merger of Daimler-Chrysler, Jürgen Schrempp, has left the leadership of the group. His successor, Dieter Zetsche, is in favor of a divorce in February 2007: 80.1% of Chrysler goes to investment fund Cerberus.

The company, which had no sense of the 2007-2008 oil fired, goes into crisis with a range poorly suited to the situation, large saloons and 4x4 too consuming gasoline.

Belatedly turns to hybrid models, planned for 2010. But in this field, the two Japanese competitors are far ahead.

The Chrysler side of the market in United States is affected by the recession, with sales under 100,000 vehicles per month nationwide from September 2008. The group has no choice but to seek public assistance.

The crisis slams on the brakes the economic ascent of new EU countries

The crisis slams on the brakes the economic ascent of new EU countries -The ten countries that meet the May 1 five years within the European Union have little reason to uncork the champagne, after the global economic crisis slams on the brakes to economic ascension meant joining the EU.

The entry in 2004 in five countries of Central Europe (Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia), three Baltic (Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia) and Cyprus and Malta for all of them resulted in economic growth, development infrastructure, trade and services and consequently a progressive cut in unemployment.

Seven of these countries (the exceptions being Slovenia, Cyprus and Malta) had integrated the Soviet Bloc collapsed in the early 90s. Slovenia came from the disintegration of Yugoslavia, a country that also proclaimed socialist.

While some current leaders as outgoing Czech prime minister Mirek Topolanek, are reluctant to put all the countries of Eastern Europe in "one basket", the expansion will benefit everyone.

The 'New Europe' enjoyed a housing boom, a massive influx of foreign capital and loans in euros or Swiss francs, and entered fully into the era of new technologies.

The car market for decades characterized by old Skoda, Lada and Dacia, modernized and developed dramatically. Thanks to European funds, the road network also improved substantially.

Salaries have increased significantly since mid-2004 until earlier this year, up 35% in Czech Republic and Hungary, 50% in Poland and even doubled in Latvia or Lithuania.

In parallel, the unemployment rate fell from 19% to 9.5% in Poland, 11.4% to 4.7% in Lithuania and from 9% to 5% in Latvia. ( Growing Economic Crisis Threatens the Idea of One Europe )
Once the 'first in class' due to the rapid transformation of its political and economic system, Hungary, the successive governments avoided unpopular but necessary reforms, was the only country where unemployment rose from 5.8% in 2004 to 8% 2008.

But the European dream was shattered in the middle of last year for the new Member States. Due to their relatively small economies, open, vulnerable and dependent on Western markets, the global crisis were dealt a severe blow.

In Poland, unemployment is already at 11%, slashing 6% in Lithuania and more than 9% in Hungary.

Local currencies are now a brutal devaluation of up to 30% against the euro, like the Polish zloty and Hungarian forint.

Because of consumer credit and mortgages granted in foreign currency, households are increasingly difficult to repay.

crise on eu
The crisis has also suspended the adoption of the single European currency by the Czech Republic and Hungary, we now expect to enter the eurozone in 2013 or 2014, while Poland is planning to adopt in 2012. Slovenia did in 2007, Cyprus and Malta in 2008 and Slovakia in 2009, bringing to 16 the number of countries in the Eurozone.

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF)-which, together with the EU and the World Bank agreed to an aid of 20,000 million euros to Hungary, the countries of Central and Eastern Europe will suffer a contraction "brutal" in its growth as a result of the crisis. The IMF forecasts a drop of 3.7% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2009 and a modest growth of 0.8% in 2010 for this set of countries.

After years of runaway growth (5.4% in 2007, 2.9% in 2008), these countries will face an "overheating" of their economies mainly because of its "excessive dependence" on foreign capital, according to the IMF. The Fund provides a particularly painful recession in the Baltic countries (-10.6% 2009 -2.3% in 2010), while the states of central Europe pass through the storm more smoothly (-1.3% in 2009 , +0.9% in 2010).

The Bank of Japan worsens its forecast of recession in 2009-2010,

The Bank of Japan worsens its forecast of recession in 2009-2010, at -3.1% - "The Bank of Japan" (BOJ) said Thursday that the second economy, mired in its worst recession in decades, will decline more than expected this year, but was confident that things start to improve in coming months .

According to the BOJ, Japan will have a recession of 3.1% in the 2009-2010 fiscal year (which began on April 1). The above calculations of BOJ provided a 2% recession.

The BOJ maintained its forecast of a return to growth of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the years 2010-2011, although lower than expected by 1.2% instead of 1.5% in January.

"Japan's economic situation deteriorated significantly," said the BOJ in its semiannual diagnosis on economic activity and inflation.

The central bank stressed that many countries have implemented recovery plans, believes that "there is no guarantee that this will lead to a sustained remission of the world economy" and warned of the economic impact that could have a swine flu epidemic. "The possible spread of a new type of influenza and its influence on economic activity should be monitored carefully," the BOJ, which created an "intervention team" to ensure normal operation in case that the swine flu epidemic, that left 8 dead in Mexico and one in United States, reaching the archipelago. ( The United States officially in recession, stocks replongent  )

"The outlook for the Japanese economy in 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 are likely to depend on developments in foreign economies and financial markets," added the central bank.

According to him, the fall in exports, the main cause of the recession in Japan, will fade by the end of October 2009 and therefore the rate of degradation of the economic situation should exercise restraint and begin to gradually stabilize. "

bank of japan
The BOJ also predicted that consumer prices outside of fresh produce, will shrink by 1.5% in Japan in 2009-2010 because of excess production capacity and falling prices of raw materials, which marked the return of deflation, which was present in Japan from 2001 to 2006.

In its previous forecast in January, the central bank had estimated a price decline of only 1.1%.

For 2009-2010, the Bank of Japan is more optimistic that the Japanese government, had said on Monday that he thought that the recession would reach 3.3%. The International Monetary Fund (IMF), for its part, provides a contraction of 6.2% of Japanese GDP in 2009 (January to December).

Moreover, the BOJ's monetary policy announced, without surprise, his decision to keep its main interest rate at 0.10%. ( Bank of Japan stands pat on interest rates )

To try to reverse this recession, the Japanese government adopted in recent months a number of steps to reactivate a total of 132 billion yen (1.35 billion dollars).

"Arcelor Mittal" suffers from the crisis - Not surprisingly. While the demand for raw materials is in free fall, bruised by the crisis in the automotive sector under the Arcelor can only suffer the impacts.

The action of the steel group has observed a sharp decline Wednesday on the "Paris Stock Exchange", announced a net loss of over a billion dollars for the first quarter and a fundraiser for No 3 billion 'arranging nothing to the case.  ( Arcelor Mittal protests against trade unions declining production )

First element in their favor: the announcement by the leader in steel with a loss almost twice the 570 million expected by analysts consensus Dow Jones Newswires.

Another factor that has affected investors: the willingness of Arcelor to raise $ 3 billion fund to reduce its debt. One part will consist of convertible bonds for at least 500 million euros and the rest raised by the issue of shares. The Mittal family has agreed to subscribe to at least 10% of the issued shares.

Recall that the group's net debt stood at the end of March to 26.7 billion dollars against 26.5 billion at the end of December. Which told the Belgian press Arcelor Mittal at a high price policy of acquisitions, the latter finding and the group "spent without counting the last few years." Returning to the strategy followed by the group in early 2008, while demand for steel was promising: buying companies and mines at prices far from negligible. A policy then conducted in order to broaden its scope and to take control of its supply of raw materials.

arcelor mittal suffers
Bad luck, bad or poor forecasting strategy? However, the market has subsequently returned to the chagrin of steel forced to repay its debts.

Some analysts believe that the announcement of a fundraiser is likely to restore confidence in the title, wants to demonstrate that the course is somewhat ressaissi at the end of the meeting.

It never rains but, the group posted a revenue decline sharply to 15.12 billion dollars (11.6 billion euros), against 29.81 billion in the first quarter of 2008.

If, however, Arcelor Mittal has achieved a gross operating income (EBITDA) of 900 million over the first three months of the year, this value is below one billion previously announced by the group and expected by consensus.

Auto portage a high potential market according to a study

"Auto portage" a high potential market according to a study - According to research firm Oliver Wyman, the auto partage - car rental subscription for very short periods - has a strong development potential.

If such a practice remains confidential at this time in France, the tender for Autolib 'in Paris could open new horizons.

According to the report "Issues and Market Outlook autopartage in France" published Tuesday by the firm Wyman, the french market of autopartage "lags behind" compared to other countries.

At European level, the sector has now a turnover of 145 million euros, made mainly in Germany, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.

In France, the market is estimated at less than 5 million, spread among many SMEs in a dozen cities (Bordeaux AUTO COMMIT, Auto'trement Strasbourg Fund in Paris, in particular ...)

auto portage
But the future could be in the autoportage. According to the report, there is a "latent demand" and a "net development potential" in France: 13% of French and 40% of Parisians said they were "ready to use regularly such a method of transport.

Seen as an alternative to private cars and public transport, the auto partage target urban customers with high ecological sensitivity and without children.

According to calculations, such a solution is competitive compared to infrequent use of a personal vehicle. The breakeven point would be 10,000 km per year without cost of parking, and less than 20,000 with the payment of parking.

Another element to consider: the alternative is - according to the study - a "missing link" in the urban and suburban areas poorly served by public transport.

The firm Oliver Wyman provides autopartage that could be a few years from 20,000 cars and 700,000 users without major intervention of public authorities ", or about 1% of the population, a rate already achieved in Switzerland.

A tender has recently been launched in Paris for a system to share electric cars, Autolib ', which should help to structure the market. Unlike other sharing systems where one borrows and makes the car in the same station, Autlib 'should operate on the model in place for the bicycle, which, however, generates significant logistical difficulties.

Planned for the moment in 2010, the project could be delayed. It provides the installation of 2000 vehicles in 2000 in Paris and nearby suburbs.

Set up in September 2007 by the Mayor of Paris, Bertrand Delanoë, the "mission automobile self-service" established in early 2008 that the monthly cost of this service should be between 200 euros and 250 euros per month for use over a distance of 0 to 100 km.

Arguments put forward to establish such a price: if the price was lower, Autolib 'would directly compete with services autopartage, less expensive (90 euros to 140 euros for 100 km). The will also not match the price of a subscription to transit, "in order to avoid transferring the patient to the car-free service.

The "mission" has calculated the cost of a car traveling 100 km per month in Paris. Between the purchase of a vehicle (20 205 euros for a period of possession average of seven years), insurance for 50 euros and a car park at 120 euros and a note of essence of 20 euros, the invoice is 430 euros per month.

Swine flu: net impact on air traffic

"Swine flu": net impact on "air traffic" - "Air traffic" did not need that as in "Seattle" , "Washington State", "Maryland". As the "crisis economics" had already sharply cut in March, swine influenza has been given a little grain of salt on an already open wound. ( some "school closings" )

The figures provided Tuesday by the "International Air Transport Association" (IATA) suggest heard that the situation could go from "Scylla to Charybdis" .... Recall that the Association represents 230 companies, representing 93% of international air traffic, excluding low-cost.

According to IATA, the growing concern about the swine flu could have a significant impact on traffic. While it is too early to judge calmly, the Director General of the organization, Giovanni Bisignagi recognizes certain that "anything that may disturb the confidence of passengers has a negative impact on business."

But the fears of health risks associated with swine influenza can happen at a worse time, airlines are already facing serious economic difficulties.

Tuesday, the States tried to focus their prevention on the limitations of travel, despite the warning from the WHO on the limited effect of such measures because of the progress already made by the virus. The World Health Organization warned Monday evening that no region of the world is now safe, since "the virus has already spread on the planet.

swine influenza
After Monday discouraged travel "non-essential" in areas affected by "swine influenza" in Mexico and the United States, the European Commission estimated Tuesday that there was no reason "for the moment" to limit travel. However many countries are advised to go to Mexico: Japan, Germany, Belgium, Great Britain, Spain, Austria, Australia, Hong Kong, Canada, Italy, Netherlands, Israel ...

After launching just recommendations "very careful", Paris has not recommended "strongly" Tuesday travel to Mexico "except reason.

Measures that should once again fill the results of the airlines, which did not really need this ...

In March, passenger traffic had already fallen by 11.1% in value year after rolling a decrease of 10.1% in February. The global economic crisis continues, reducing the demand for international travel by air.

The transport of goods, even more affected for several months that passengers due to the contraction of world trade, has meanwhile continued its plunge in March, plummeting 21.4% in March.

Last month the airlines have reduced capacity by 4.4%, using smaller planes on some routes or reducing the frequency of some services or even stop certain routes.

The average rate of filling of aircraft was 72.1% in March, 5.4% percentage points below the rate recorded a year earlier.

Geithner plan attracts investment funds

"Geithner plan" attracts "investment funds" - Good news on the other side of the Atlantic? The U.S. Treasury announced Wednesday that its plans for public-private partnerships - also said "Geithner plan"- to buy the toxic assets of U.S. banks had attracted strong interest among investors. It is demonstrated the positive reaction of many "investment funds".

Geithner plan - As a reminder, the U.S. Treasury Secretary "Timothy Geithner" presented on March 23 its plan of buying assets at risk of banks, called toxic assets, the PPIP (Public-Private Investment Program). The latter is intended to clean up the balance sheets of banks by allowing them to offload their portfolios of mortgages or securities of their mortgage-backed.

Over one hundred such institutions would have already applied for redemption of securities backed by real estate receivables. Better yet, according to the U.S. Treasury, there are also among the applicants for real estate investment companies, or managers of alternative assets.

Companies selected should be informed of their selection "preliminary" "around the 15 May", said the ministry also. They will then demonstrate their ability to raise 500 billion of private funds.

Geithner Plan
Also note that the Ministry had recently indicated that it intended to launch the program by selecting the starting five asset managers in charge to join the government.

The Treasury believes that the presence of toxic assets on the balance sheets of banks is the cause of the credit crisis. According to him, this would create suspicion among banks and limit their lending capacity.

In response, the Ministry plans now to allocate 100 billion of public funds for this program of public-private investment (PPIP). In effect, these funds - taken on the envelope of 700 billion available to the Treasury by Congress in October - should result in a strike force of 500 to 1000 billion dollars with the participation of private investors .

The PPIP has two distinct mechanisms, one for loans granted by banks and another for asset backed securities now become unsaleable. Each mechanism will receive half of the money accruing to the Treasury, the Department still retaining a certain "flexibility" on the subject.

Answer: question is interesting! In addition, it is timely. We have never experienced economic times like we traversons. The rates from the European Central Bank are in total disconnect with the interest rates charged by banks in the network for the granting of mortgages by exemple.Ne you not rely on average rates posted by banks, they do not correspond to the daily reality of the borrower's financial means to the income (less than 5000 euros / month).

AZF: Interim "anonymous" on the day of drama

AZF: Interim - Strange, very strange, even suspicious .... So that was examined Friday at the AZF trial hearing on the trail of the voluntary act, the witness of brave Rejane Boucly was enlightening to say the least.

Secretary on the site since 2000 for the company TMG - subcontractor of Great Parish, owner of the plant - the latter refers particularly surprising facts that occurred during the week of 21 September 2001, the day of the disaster.

Primary anomaly: an interim all anonymous mute summoned several times to provide papers and arrive at the home security has not complied. What is said to Serge Biechlin, former site manager at the helm warned that "something extraordinary, there was on the site that day interim working without being paid!"

Also note for "the scene" and add two pinches of salt, that the employee "volunteer" has appeared each time accompanied by Jandoubi Hassan, himself a moment suspected by the courts of belonging to a terrorist movement, even Moreover, having been found dead on the site, wearing a "accoutrement" that some consider to be a "kamikaze" Islamist.

But back in detail about the statements by Rejane Boucly responsible for billing and management of company personnel TMG and subcontractors that it uses on the site.

Came to the bar for evidence of "anomalies" observed the days preceding the fatal day of 21 September, the former secretary clarifies that interim came "three times to hang around in the factory." Reported to the guard post, that person has not deigned fit to report to reception to resolve security issues and security administration, as had been requested.

While Réjane Boucly had asked him to contact the company interim Adecco in order to get hired by it, pursuant to agreements concluded between the two companies, the unknown seems to prefer volunteer .... Since no administrative formalities relating to have been established, and this is his.

Fearing the day of the disaster that the person is under the rubble, the former secretary of TMG has informed the police, which apparently he was very interested in the "subject" ...

Réjane Boucly even stated loud and clear: "to date Mr Do Santos (PJ) still did not submit the photos to allow for the identification."

It also stipulates that during his interrogation, she was "putting into difficult emotional situation," the police do not hesitate to speak in these terms: "if you continue, we will send you Allegre" ....

Another troubling fact: In the list of interim present on the site - document submitted by his boss at TMG, Mr. Bourgeois - two interim missing. While Rejane Boucly so by hand, it refuses to include in the list drawn up under the crisis cell set up by TMG following the disaster.

The two investigative journalists, Anne-Marie and Marc Casteret Mennessier, yet fine sleuth and very aware of the file could not put the "hand" on the two individuals concerned.

In any event, the Secretary stated strongly: both at ADECCO interim, they have worked on the site of AZF during the week of 21 September 2001.

Réjane Boucly also confirms that Jandoubi Hassan spoke Arabic, adding that the Commissioner had tried to say otherwise.

The former secretary also believes that it has not been "free rein to speak with Mr Badji, whereas Belaval police and his colleagues have been devoid of any objective attitude.

Speaking on his written statement prepared at the request of the plant CHSCT Great Parish: "It's not me who typed the text, but I really liked, I put my own words," says Does the bar.

So he asked him during the interrogation of information on where the fire chief has found the body of Hassan Jandoubi, it states that, afraid of being wrong on the location, she asked PJ to go to the site to confirm the place. No action has been given to its application ...

But Réjane Boucly stated it was unaware of the factory on the field but as a secretary. In order to improve its collection of sites to facilitate its task of issuing invoices and payroll including through monitoring scores of times, it was able to visit the factory twice, and at its request.

With particular regard to identification of the anonymous interim, she is an individual "stocky, short hair, matt black eyes, smaller than Jandoubi.

While it seems clear that Réjane Boucly urged to identify the character with the police, she said that if the PJ is certainly went to the beautiful sister with pictures, it was poly-traumatized, with a deficient eye .... Proposing to move the police to her home after visiting his sister-in-law .... Réjane still waiting ....

Hassan Jandoubi concerning which a driver has done before a portrait for the least edifying at the helm, the secretary said that working in the same office as Mr Pons, team leader, he had reported around September 19-related problems labor interim generating tension. Réjane in Boucly has reported to the police, but this has not been heard ....

Having had contact with Ms. Jandoubi as part of the crisis - ignoring the orders which had been made to leave the interim - the secretary said that the deceased wife of the handler on the site asked him whether it was possible to recover "for sentimental reasons" of the personal affairs of her husband Hassan Jandoubi - a sweet shirt, sports bag - in the car, registered in Germany.

Still disturbing because during the search made by the GP at home Jandoubi, several days after the tragedy, his widow explained that she was free of personal belongings of her husband, which reminded him too painfully the disaster ... . What makes some say that the apartment was "cleaned", "sterilized" ...

OPEC: The current price of a barrel bad investment

Extortion, blackmail you said? ... but not see! and yet it looks like there ...

While the price of a barrel has a tendency to plummet its last days, reducing the oil producing countries, they try a new argument to justify a rise of course .... and reduced production, particularly from countries outside OPEC. They claim and a barrel to 50 dollars is insufficient to make any investments in the oil sector. Of what was said then that the date of the next meeting of the cartel is fast approaching.

A barrel of crude at 50 dollars is not enough investment to ensure that support the production, has said Sunday the Secretary General of OPEC Abdullah al-Badri.

While adding that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, dissatisfied with the current level of expectation that non-OPEC producers, Russia in particular, also reduce their production to allow for stabilization of the market.

"We urge Russia to assist in raising prices to an acceptable level", has launched the secretary general of the cartel.

According to Abdullah al-Badri, only one course below $ 70 could help stimulate investment. Parallel indicating that the fall in prices had wide impact on projects planned by the member countries: 35 projects with a total of 165 are in effect deferred in 2013.

Recall that boosted by the decline of the dollar, the price of a barrel of light sweet crude for June delivery ended Friday in New York at 51.55 dollars, up $ 1.93 from its closing price.

Asked about the possibility of a further reduction in production at the cartel's next meeting May 28, al-Badri for his part asserts that the decision will depend on the economic situation. "While warning:" if we have the any problems, OPEC will not hesitate to take further decisions to stabilize the market. "

But if we believe the Secretary General of the OPEC countries seem not to comply with the instructions dictated by the cartel in September. According to him, 722,000 barrels should be removed from the market if the cartel is to meet full production cuts, or 4.2 million barrels per day (bpd).

During periods of high volatility (extreme changes in the price), the bands are widen to become more inclusive. During periods of low volatility (price stalled), the bands are contracted to contain prices. " ( Investing Finance )

It is recommended to close long positions when and if the price is lower than the SAR or, conversely, to close short positions when the price of that value is exceeded. If the price exceeds the SAR This will increase every day without taking into account the upward or downward direction of the price. The amount that increases the SAR depends on the change in prices.
