Good to see my pep talk worked....still a 900k sale showing so solid buying and or a tip and or someone seeing a draft of the results!?Can't see a quote today from that fund manager who invests on behalf of charities. The batch he sold so publically would have helped the coffers of the needy by a useful 715k today...

Key Points

Expectations for progress during the impending two-day meeting in Shanghai are low, and White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow told CNBC on Friday that negotiators would “hopefully go back to where the talks left off last May.”
Investors will also be awaiting the U.S. Federal Reserve’s monetary policy meeting this week, with the Fed widely expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points.

European stocks are set for a muted open Monday as U.S. and Chinese trade negotiators prepare to meet in Shanghai for the first in-person trade talks since a truce was agreed in June.

The FTSE 100 is seen opening fractionally higher at around 7,550 points, the DAX is expected to slip around 27 points to 12,387, and the CAC is set to open around 18 points lower at 5,593.

Oil falls on worries over growth outlook, positive news on Iran

Are smart meters mandatory?

While we and the government think that all consumers will benefit from smart meters, they aren’t compulsory and you can choose not to have one.

Choosing not to have a smart meter may mean you don’t have access to all the available tariffs on the market, some of which could be cheaper.

If you don’t want to have a smart meter now, you will still be able to have one installed for free at a later date.

THERES ALWAYS SOME OTHER HORROR STORIES TO RECOUNT BUT ARE THEY RARE AND GET SEEN OUT OF PROPORTION

[poikka] 28/7/2019 08:47

Here's a thought to take minds of anyone who's interested away from matters religious on a Sunday.

Is the US concerned about possible Russian (or even Chinese) influence in Venezuela? The longer the situation there festers, the harder it'll be to change it if Russia provides help. Not sure that they want to, but the bear loves needling the US. The Chinese would be quite happy to have another source of oil, especially as things are a bit dodgy in the Middle East.

Could be that we'll see Trump interfere big time there, but he'd better have a good plan and reason - "reasons" being able to be created, of course.

If they do "interfere", how long before Venezuela gets its oil production up and running, and how long before that influences prices, or should I say OPEC quotas?

The US, I guess, would not want Madura to survive and prosper, and that could happen if the Russians or Chinese helped get production up and running; so the sooner the US acts to get Madura out (and, therefore, the R and C), the better. If Trump delays, he risks having an oil funded socialist state too close for comfort.

Crude headed slightly higher this week as a steeper-than-expected drop in inventories in the US added to tensions in Iran, which was the third-biggest oil producer in the Organization for Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) prior to re-imposition of US sanctions late last year.

The Energy Information Administration said Wednesday US stockpiles plunged by 10.9 million barrels over the week to July 19, more than a drop of 4 million barrels expected by the market.

The slump in inventories coincided with the number of oil rigs operating in the US falling by three to 776 during the week that ended July 26, the lowest level since Feb. 2018, according to data compiled by Baker Hughes ( BHGE ). The combined oil and gas rig count was down by eight to 946 as gas rigs were also lower by five to 169.

In Canada, the number of oil rigs in operation rose by two to 85, and gas rigs climbed by seven to 42 during the period under review. As a result, the North American total increased by one to 1,073 versus 1,271 a year ago, the data showed.

Tensions remained high in relation to the Strait of Hormuz, off the southern coast of Iran, which hasn't released a British-flag carrying oil tanker it captured Friday last week. While the US is preparing a maritime security plan for the Gulf, the UK has proposed a naval mission led by Europe to ensure the safety for carriers using the strategic passage through which about a fifth of global crude flows.

But, in a week characterized by volatility in Iran, US crude inventory falling for the fifth straight week, and the oil rig count slumping to a 17-month low, Brent futures still traded below the $65 mark.

The Department of Commerce said Friday gross domestic product growth slowed to 2.1% annualized in the Q2, from 3.1% in the previous three months.

While the decline in growth rate is better than expected, the slowdown is in line with Chair Jerome Powell's view that global risks such as the ongoing US-China trade war could weaken the US economic expansion and necessitate policy action. The Fed's monetary policy committee is scheduled to meet on Wednesday and widely expected to cut interest rates.

US and Chinese trade officials will restart talks next week after negotiations ended in May without any deal between the world's two largest economies. A CNBC report had Larry Kudlow, the director of the National Economic Council, dialing down expectations: "I wouldn't expect any grand deal on China."

In its weekly commentary on the oil market, Goldman Sachs analysts led by Damien Courvalin acknowledged oil demand had disappointed this year, weighed by disappointing activity as well as idiosyncratic headwinds such as weather, power demand destruction, and historical revisions.

Courvalin, however, pointed out in the report that Goldman sees increasing scope for oil demand to finally start

exceeding beaten-down expectations, given the signals from the refining sector that end-product demand was improving and "still robust consumer demand visible in macro and oil data."

"While by no means an unequivocal turn in data, sequentially better macro releases in the face of low net speculative oil positioning could finally lead demand to be a supportive force to oil prices , creating transient upside risks to our 3Q19 $66/bbl Brent price forecast before the Permian basin becomes debottlenecked this Fall," Courvalin said in the report.

But, he warned such a demand-led rally would admittedly not be smooth sailing given the current "high skepticism toward accelerating activity as well as the volatility created by the Iran-US tensions."

Toward the end of trading on Friday, West Texas Intermediate and Brent futures were slightly changed at $56.17 and $63.42 per barrel.

European markets seen slightly higher after ECB holds interest rates
Published 19 min ago
Sam Meredith
@smeredith19




Key Points

The ECB held interest rates steady on Thursday, but outgoing President Mario Draghi all but pledged to ease monetary policy further as the growth outlook deteriorates.
The euro stood at $1.1145 Friday morning, bouncing back from a session low of $1.1101 on Thursday — its lowest level since May 2017.
The latest guidance from the ECB comes shortly before an eagerly anticipated rate decision from the Federal Reserve.

European stocks are set to open slightly higher Friday morning, after the European Central Bank (ECB) suggested it could lower borrowing costs to tackle a slowdown in the euro zone economy.

The FTSE 100 is seen 2 points higher at 7,491, the CAC is expected to open up around 5 points at 5,583, while the DAX is poised to start 35 points higher at 12,397, according to IG.
