MOSCOW, October 12 (RIA Novosti) - The surplus of oil on the world market is a temporary phenomenon, Vice President of Russian oil giant Rosneft Mikhail Leontyev said Sunday. "The current price dynamic, which has been developing for the last few months, may not reflect the objective trend," Leontyev told the Russkaya Sluzhba Novostei radio. "Prices can be manipulative. First of all, Saudi Arabia has begun making big discounts on oil. This is political manipulation, and Saudi Arabia is being manipulated, which could end badly. The second factor is the stolen ISIL [Islamic State] oil, which reaches the market through Turkey and Israel with a triple discount. It is not much, ...

In the Downdraft of Hormegeddon by Bill Bonner Hormegeddon is a modern phenomenon. It is only possible since the advent of civilization. Without civilization, there are no masses. Without the masses, there are no mass movements, no mass delusions, no mass revolts and no mass epidemics. All mass phenomena function in a similar way to the behavior of disease. Passing from one person to another in large groups, infectious bacteria multiply and mutate. Those killed by antibiotics and natural antibodies die off. Those not killed continue adapting and evolving. Without frequent contact with the enemy, the target grows soft and vulnerable. Over time, the more successful people become at ...

Five Compromises Obama Should Embrace to Boost the Economy Wednesday, 22 Oct 2014 10:03 AM By Peter Morici If Republicans win the Senate, President Barack Obama risks another bruising recession if he doesn’t embrace compromise and abandon ineffective populist prescriptions. Slower growth in Europe and emerging markets like China and Brazil threaten U.S. exports and demand for American-made products. At home, stock-market volatility threatens consumer confidence and sales of autos, new homes and other big-ticket items. Stimulus spending only temporarily boosts growth but permanently increases deficits. Specifically, before the financial crisis, the federal deficit was only $161 ...

Roubini: Global Economic Slowdown May Spill Into US Monday, 20 Oct 2014 07:50 PM By Dan Weil While star economist Nouriel Roubini of New York University expects U.S. economic growth to total about 3 percent annualized in the second half of this year and into 2015, he sees several risks to that scenario. On the external side, "the global economy looks like it’s running on a single engine, the one of the U.S. The other three major ones are sort of stalling," he tells FINalternatives news service. "The eurozone is at risk of deflation and triple-dip recession. Japan has been hurt by fiscal contraction following the consumption tax, and China is quite sharply slowing ...

Morgan Stanley's Parker: 'Calm Down ... We're Near the Bottom' Thursday, 16 Oct 2014 08:46 AM By Dan Weil Adam Parker, chief equity strategist at Morgan Stanley, doesn't see the stock market correction going much further, if at all. The reason: third-quarter profits. "I'm focused on the corporate earnings," he tells CNBC. "I think that generally you're going see earnings grow year over year, and I don't think the S&P 500 really ever goes down 10 percent unless people are afraid of that." The index has slid 7.8 percent from its Sept. 19 record high, closing Wednesday at 1,862.49. "I'm trying to keep my eye on the ball ...

Figures for September have not been released. The slowdown in the real estate sector is dragging on the economy. Together with construction, real ...

Marc Faber: The Fed Will Increase QE Resize Text Print This Page Share On Twitter Share On Facebook View Next Article » Jason Farrell by Jason Farrell. Posted Aug 6, 2013. Marc Faber was characteristically pessimistic during his interview with Sprott Money late last month. “I don’t think they will end QE. I rather think they will have to increase it, because as you print money or as you purchase assets, from a central banking point of view, it loses its impact over time. In order to keep the impact going, you have to essentially increase it. I believe that the dovish members of the Fed will print more money. Especially after the resignation of Mr. Bernanke ...

I see you’re interested in buying the dip in Russian stocks this morning. But before you do, let me try to knock some sense into that skull of yours... Late last week, I reminded you why we bid farewell to the big Russian bear back over the summer. At the time, Russia was one of the cheapest markets in the world. But cheap can always get even cheaper—and Russia is certainly no exception. With comic book supervillain Vlad Putin manning the controls from his secret Siberian lair, the Market Vectors Russia ETF (NYSE:RSX) has dropped a cold 20% since registering its late June highs.

Dow down at 16,350… S&P 500 up at 1,895… Nasdaq up at 4,293. “Markets are suddenly prey to [a] disturbing thought,” explained The Telegraph’s Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in a column last Wednesday. Like a midget’s parents at that moment of realization, traders grimaced at the obvious last week. Their six-year-old economic recovery is getting older… but is no longer able to grow. The story progresses this week as the QE4 option is laid on the policy table. More on that and what it means for you in a second... “For at least three years,” explained Evans-Pritchard, “a liquidity bonanza has fueled asset booms despite a weak global economy... ...

Sino/Russian Alliance Challenges West by Stephen Lendman In his book titled "The Sino-Russian Challenge to World Order," Gilbert Rozman says both countries have much closer ties than commonly thought. They're deepening. United they challenge US hegemony. Leonid Bershidsky is founding editor of Russia's leading business daily, Vedomosti. He expects ties between both nations to strengthen and endure. Russia needs to pivot East. China needs access to its enormous resources. According to Bershidsky, both countries "are made for each other. Despite many cultural differences, their people have more values in common than either share with the West." ...

GUANGZHOU, Oct. 19 (Xinhua) -- The winners of the Design Awards at the 116th Canton Fair, which opened Wednesday in south China's Guangzhou, include an apple-shaped rice cooker, a felt watch suitable for cold weather, and a tea-brewing device. The products themselves -- home appliances, bags and watches -- are examples of China's traditional strength in manufacturing. But what makes them stand out is something less common for Chinese exports: innovation and good design. "Good design can directly generate profits and power," said Liu Yi, general manager of Andon Health, as he demonstrated his company's baby monitor, which won the "best of the best" at the ...

"I don't expect that we need to" launch another round of quantitative easing (QE), he told CNBC. "If the economy got weak enough that it was required, we should do it. I certainly hope and I don't expect that will be the case, but I can't rule anything out." St. Louis Fed President James Bullard's comments that the Fed should consider postponing the completion ...

Beijing (AFP) - China and Russia are considering building a high-speed rail line thousands of kilometres from Moscow to Beijing that would cut the journey time from six days on the celebrated Trans-Siberian to two, Chinese media reported Friday. The project would cost more than $230 billion and be over 7,000 kilometres (4,350 miles) long, the Beijing Times reported -- more than three times the world's current longest high-speed line, from the Chinese capital to the southern city of Guangzhou. The railway would be a powerful physical symbol of the ties that bind Moscow and Beijing, whose political relationship has roots dating from the Soviet era and who often vote together on the UN ...
5 Things You Need to Know -- The Saudis Did What?

Teach a parrot the words "supply and demand" and you've got yourself an economist. So runs an old quip widely attributed to the long-deceased Scottish economist Thomas Carlyle. Supplies increase... prices decrease. And vice versa. Everything else is just talk. OK, so what does that have to do with the price of eggs? Much, no doubt. But our mind is on oil today... The American shale oil boom has Saudi Arabia over a barrel, if you'll forgive the expression. The flood of new U.S. oil supplies has suppressed the price of Saudi crude -- practically the kingdom's sole source of national income. God only knows how much money they've lost in recent years to the ...
