Dollar & Sense
The Saudi Aramco IPO and the future of global oil markets

Last month, Saudi Arabia sold about 1.5% of Saudi Aramco, a government-owned oil company, in an in an initial public offering (IPO). Shares have been sold on the Tadawul, Saudi Arabia’s stock exchange, and while the IPO has valued Aramco at $1.7 trillion, its performance was disappointing overall. To discuss the Aramco IPO and other developments in the global oil market, David Dollar is joined by Samantha Gross, a fellow in the Foreign Policy program at Brookings and Energy Security and Climate Initiative. Their conversation covers Saudi Arabia’s efforts to diversify its economy, long-term trends in oil production and demand, and how the recent killing of Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani could affect markets. Subscribe to Brookings podcasts here or on Apple Podcasts, send feedback email to BCP@Brookings.edu, and follow us and tweet us at @policypodcasts on Twitter.

2019 will be remembered for key political events including, the start of the partisan proceedings in the US Congress to impeach Donald J. Trump, the resounding election victory of the Tories in the UK, and the unprecedented democratic protests in HK. Closer to the Middle East, the milestones of 2019 will be split between the financial landmark of the quasi-successful Aramco IPO, the civilian protests in the streets of Iraq and Lebanon, and the saga of repeat-elections in Israel, which are starting to have a twist of the ‘Groundhog Day' motion picture. On that latter chapter of pain and toil in the Levant, the story has just begun and the last weeks of the current year that were punctuated by the dual resignations of the respective PMs in Iraq and Lebanon, the joint naval exercises of Iran-China-Russia in the Gulf of Oman, and the most recent US strikes on Iran's proxy militias in Iraq and Syria, do not bode well for the coming year. In a globalized world, it is difficult to dissociate such events. The US election in 2020 means that the US President will have his hands tied during the campaign. Thus, launching large scale military operations against Iran, as opposed to surgical strikes, will be difficult if not near impossible. The hawkish advisers in the WH such as Steve Bannon and John Bolton, who would have advocated a more robust retaliation, are no more. Add to that, the genuine aversion of this President, despite predictions to the contrary, to forays into foreign lands. He prefers to keep his ‘powder dry' unless he is pushed to using it or is being paid to do so. Ask the Saudis and South Koreans and their answers would be in unison. In 2020, Russia looks to be more active in the Middle East, as it continues to prosecute its war against the opponents of the Assad regime in Syria, without any international recriminations.  Russia will keep the Eastern Mediterranean basin busy with war-like activities as it presses forward with its Nord Stream 2 project and secures its supply of natural gas into the EU. Syria will bear the brunt of Russia's military meddling although the Libyan theater will not remain unscathed, thus reinforcing the views that gas from Russia is the safest and best supply route to Western Europe. From all the nations of the Middle East, the one to worry about the most in 2020, is Lebanon. At such critical time, Lebanon will have to face its demons all by itself: no US support, no brotherly love from the GCC, no EU tangible plan and no national unity to bring the country onto a possible path for recovery. Iran can offer Hezbollah few US Dollars and many missiles, but that is as far as the list goes. The national political class is gripped with apathy, a touch of idiocy and grave complete ignorance about financial matters. The elite class (bankers in its near majority) are complicit or implicated -one way or another- into the financial morass and do not favor any deal that would reduce to ashes their already wiped out equity. This brings to mind what John Kenneth Galbraith said about the Crash of 1929: “The sense of responsibility in the financial community for the community as a whole is not small. It is nearly nil.” Moreover, TVs are crammed with programs that feature self-appointed banking experts, economic gurus and even astrologers who have their own hair-brained plans for getting the country out of the fix. Unofficial spokespersons of the ‘street revolt' are bickering among themselves. They are split between a group of opportunists who see their newly acquired fame a bridge for a ministerial position, and a group of idealists who want to revive the failed dreams of socialism. Ordinary people in the streets are helpless and continue to blame the ruling elite whilst asking for change, but change without a clear & radical transformation in the political culture of Lebanon would not do them any good. Fixing this nation does not start by fixing the financial problems only,

A mai epizód a fekete arany köré koncentrálódik. Első témánk a világ legnagyobb cégének titulált Saudi Aramco olajvállalat tervezett nyilvános részvénykibocsátása, valamint ennek kapcsán Szaud-Arábia nyitása a külföldi tőkebefektetők felé. A cég már évek óta készül az IPO-ra, de valami mindig közbejött. A szeptemberi infrastruktúra ellenni merényletek alaposan megrázták a céget, és ezzel együtt az olaj világpiaci árát is. Beszélgetünk még a norvég állami olajalap pénzeiről, hogy a kitermelt vagyon kezelői mennyi különböző helyre, milyen kis részletekben képesek azt kihelyezni. Ha már Északi-tenger, szóba kerülnek még a sarkvidék eddig kiaknázatlan lehetőségei, a jégtörők fontossága, valamint, hogy az oroszok már itt is a spájzban vannak. Az adás végén pedig pár érdekesség adatvezérelt világunkból: Tudtátok, hogy van egy cég, ami azzal foglalkozik, hogy műholdképek elemzésével próbálja megbecsülni a világ olajtartalékainak alakulását, majd az így kapott adatokat eladja befektetőknek? Az adat az új olaj ugyebár. Több olyan vállalkozás is létezik már, ami a világon folyamatosan keletkező elképesztő mennyiségű adat minnél gyorsabb és pontosabb feldolgozásával foglalkozik. Ha rengeteg értékes adaton ülsz, vagy adatvezérelt hedge fund létrehozásán gondolkozol, és még nem hallottál a Nasdaq Quandlről, mindenképp hallgasd meg az adást!

Kingpin of Valuation Confirms Aramco IPO

NYU Stern professor Aswath Damodaran, known as the “Dean of Valuation” for his company analyses, says that Aramco more or less valued their IPO correctly, but that he still wouldn’t invest because of the inherently limited upside as well as the political risk that surrounds the world’s largest oil company. Valuing the company from three different perspectives — dividends, potential dividends, and free cash flow to the firm — Damodaran came up with valuations of $1.629 trillion, $1.648 trillion and $1.672 trillion, all of which are within “shouting distance” of Aramco’s own valuation. On Sunday the state-owned oil company announced an IPO price range of 30-32 riyals, which would value the company at up to $1.7 trillion. This is less than the $2.3 trillion valuations, at the high end, that the company previously fetched. The world’s largest oil company said that it plans to sell a 1.5% stake in the company or about 3 billion shares and that it will begin trading in December on the Saudi stock exchange. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newscast-africa/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Has the US lost the Middle East? – interview with Ken Timmerman - Beyond the Matrix

Israel News Talk Radio

Rod Reuven Dovid Bryant and Jerry Gordon bring back veteran Iran-watcher, best-selling investigative journalist Ken Timmerman to address the question of has the US lost the Middle East. Background are troubling developments with Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Yemen, Syria, and Turkey. The bottom line: Iran intends to achieve its goal of controlling the area between the Persian Gulf, Red Sea and the Mediterranean with more than 25% plus of the world’s oil supply while perfecting its Shi’ite objective of surrounding and destroying Israel. As Stephen Bryen has noted in a recent Beyond the Matrix interview the US has “no strategy, no intelligence” and thus appears unable to deal with what Timmerman considers are dire geo-political threats. Notwithstanding the unresolved recent Israeli do-over election, Timmerman noted that Netanyahu has developed an effective strategic diplomatic and national security policy. He has avoided war with Iran, while punishing it in Syria, Lebanon and Iraq through deconfliction arrangements with Putin. Timmerman hopes that Netanyahu’s legacy will survive in whatever national unity government emerges. He points to a recent interview with Iran’s nefarious Quds Force Commander General Soleimani who noted that in 2006, Iran didn’t intervene in Lebanon against Israel as the US was engaged in War in Iraq. Now Iran and proxies surround Israel on three sides and is seeking to fulfill Shi’ite bizarre doctrine of destroying Israel and bringing back the 12th Imam. On the Trump Peace Plan Timmerman cites the resignation of Special Envoy Greenblatt saying “there’s no peace partner” – meaning the Palestinians. We next turned to Saudi failures to defend their oil facilities and display war making capabilities against the Houthi Iran proxy in Yemen, the survival of reformist Crown Prince Mohmmed bin Salman. Timmerman cited the ability of Iran and Iraqi proxies to launch a swarm of drones and cruise missiles that devastated the oil facilities and fields: “ their intel enabled it to the thread the needle of gaps in radar” of billion dollar US anti-Missile defense pointed in the wrong direction”. The Houthi attack that devastated a combined Saudi and Sudan force showed this is really a war between Iran and Saudi Arabia. He expects more Houthi cross border razzias against the Saudi seeking to disable the Saudi Royal Regime. Saudi royals are divided over anti-corruption strong arm actions by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salam (MBS) and taking responsibility for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, despite the latter’s Muslim Brotherhood and support of Qatar. MBS is seeking reforms of conservative Wahhabism and diversifying economic reforms such as the ARAMCO IPO. Timmerman warns that Iran could play the Shi’ite card in the Saudi oil rich province through a network of Imams and Mosques. The takeaway is that the Saudis are not strong enough to take on Iran. Irony is that only the US, Israel and the UAE support MBS. Iraq, Timmerman believes that Iraq is falling apart with internal protests, Iran controlling 100,000 Shi’ite Hashd al Shaabi PMF militia fighters and Israel attacking their warehouses stocked with precision missiles. Iraq is effectively a “province of Iran ceding sovereignty to its neighbor”. The question remains will the US keep its remaining assets in Iraq at the Al-Sad airbase. Turkey’s Erdogan’s objective in his “safe zone” foray into northeastern Syria Kurdish homeland is to ‘smash Kurds in eastern Turkey, Syria, Iran and Iraq”. Erdogan, Timmerman contends, was the main patron of ISIS in Syria. Erdogan’s objective in invading northeastern Syria would be to release the 70,000 ISIS families and fighters. We end this fast-paced informative interview with a discussion of Timmerman’s views on the Whistleblower compliant over Ukraine issues and President Trump’s response.

Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (shown), known as MBS, just relieved his energy minister, Khalid al-Falih, of his duties concerning the Initial Public Offering (IPO) of his country’s primary asset, ARAMCO (officially, the Saudi Arabian Oil Company). Plans for that offering, first announced in 2018, were to raise $100 billion for the country’s sovereign wealth fund so it could invest the funds to diversify the economy away from its dependence upon oil revenues and bring it into the 21st century.

A Saudi decision to indefinitely delay an initial public offering (IPO) of five percent of the Saudi Arabian Oil Company or Aramco, the Saudi state-owned oil company, has further dented investor confidence and fuelled debate about Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s ability to push economic reform. It has even prompted speculation that his assertive policies, including the Kingdom’s ill-fated military intervention in Yemen, harsh response to Canadian human rights criticism and failed Saudi-United Arab Emirates-led diplomatic and economic boycott of Qatar, could dampen his prospects of eventually ascending the throne.

Looking at the week ahead, we discuss the historic decision in Saudi Arabia to allow women to drive, and the impact it might have on the economy. Bigger than the Aramco IPO, if the Saudi oil minister is to be believed. Should we even bother talking about trade tarrifs anymore? It seems like every week, as the war of words heat up between the US, the EU, and China, fresh threats are made around tarrifs. Most recently, US President Donald Trump is threatening Beijing with tariffs on $200 billion of goods imported from China. On Friday, Trump threatened to impose tariffs on European cars after Brussels introduced levies on American goods such as Levi’s jeans, bourbon whiskey and Harley-Davidson motorbikes. Oh, and we obviously talk about the World Cup. In vivid detail, Sorry hardcore-business-nerds!

Dr. Dougie Youngson, Research Director, Oil & Gas at FinnCap, talks to Tip TV Presenter Matt Brown about the fundamentals of Nautilus Marine Services and the oil market. Youngson says the projects that had gone on the back burner have come online, courtesy of the recovery in oil prices and that is positive for the service provider. Asked how he sees the OPEC and oil market performing the months ahead, he said, “Saudi is likely to cut output and bid up prices of its own stock - Aramco IPO.” #FinnCap, #NautilusMarineServices, #UK, #stocks, #equities, #investing, #trading
