URC Expert Shares Reasons Behind the Slow Spring in the Us Housing Market
(PRWEB) June 11, 2014
A US based real-estate expert working for a renowned financial consulting firm, United Relief Centre, has recently shared his expert analysis of the current housing market situation in the US. Major resources including the Wall Street Journal confirm that the spring did not experience the start that was predicted. However, according to the real estate expert from the United Relief Centre, there are too many variables involved in determining the direction of the market, and therefore, it is too early to predict where the market will turn in the future.
According to the URC expert, one of the major reasons behind the slow start in the spring is the housing prices in most of the major markets. However, he states that the market will go into a late bloom. “It won’t be the first time we witness a slow take off. There are numerous reasons that can lead to such situation. First, there is the price, which is currently higher than what people are willing to pay and then there is the fact that winter was longer than usual this time around. Yet, in any case, we know that these are temporary factors and the market will rebound before we know it,” the expert states.
Backing the claims, the expert shared a recent report by the Mortgage Bankers Association that reveals a rising trend in the number of applications for home loans. After his analysis of all the recently shared numbers and stats, the URC expert predicts the heat to pick somewhere near the second quarter.
The expert, who has more than a decade worth of experience in the US housing market, advised the homebuyers to view current situation in a more positive light. “There is always a silver lining. The slowdown is indicative of how the industry has swiftly moved towards recovery during the past two years. The recent slump in the numbers is only natural because there are lesser distressed properties to buy,” he adds.

PIRA Energy Group’s Weekly Natural Gas, Power and Coal Market Recap for the Week Ending April 13th, 2014
New York, NY (PRWEB) April 16, 2014
NYC-based PIRA Energy Group reports that Russian supply cutoff via Ukraine is unlikely to happen. While In the U.S., the first EIA report of the injection season revealed a paltry 4 BCF build. Specifically, PIRA’s analysis of natural gas market fundamentals has revealed the following:
Russian Supply Cutoff via Ukraine Unlikely To Happen
The longer term implications of a Russian supply cutoff via Ukraine are so significant that PIRA still believes that it is unlikely to happen, even if now would be the ideal time – low seasonal gas demand and limited risk to Western Europe – to trigger it. If Russia’s mega-investment in pipeline gas to Asia were already built, that would be one thing, but the broader plans for such a grid outlined in this week’s Gazprom Investment Day presentation do not envision such a system until late 2019 at the earliest. The longstanding marriage between European gas demand and Russian gas export revenues is very much alive and well, and with it, a marital compromise will have to be reached with regard to how Ukraine’s debts will be paid in the future.
Paltry Stock Build
The first EIA report of the injection season revealed a paltry 4 BCF build, splitting the uprights between the five-year average 9 BCF build and the year-ago 25 BCF draw. Nevertheless, the indicated figure was well below consensus estimates that called for a build some 10 BCF higher, and was even below the low end of the market’s range. With the report’s lowball number unmasking inherently more bullish underlying fundamentals, the NYMEX prompt contract rallied ~15¢ on the news, erasing early-session losses on its way to an overall day-on-day gain of ~7¢ by settlement.
Jump in Price Volatility Is Emerging in Three Major Markets
In the three major regional gas markets around the world, a noticeable jump in price volatility is emerging after several years of near dormancy. In North America, higher prices are being driven by low storage coming out of winter and in Europe, lower prices are being driven by high storage coming out of winter. In Asia, second quarter spot prices have dropped roughly 20% over the past 90 days and it is all too clear that buyers of choice have replaced buyers of necessity during the seasonal dip in Asian gas demand.
NYC-based PIRA Energy Group reports that coal pricing is benefiting from strength in natural gas markets. While in the Europe, discussions on pricing of French nuclear power appears stalled. Specifically, PIRA’s analysis of electricity and coal market fundamentals has revealed the following:
Coal Pricing Benefiting from Strength in Natural Gas Markets
Seaborne coal prices moved higher across the board last week, although weaker dry bulk freight rates gave more upside momentum to FOB pricing points than CIF ones. The threat of Russia cutting off gas to and through Ukraine grabbed headlines last week, sending NBP gas prices higher. The oil market also ticked up last week, and coal pricing followed suit. Coal specific fundamentals remain weak overall, with robust supply and sluggish demand growth.
The Costs of the French Nuclear Power Being Discussed
The discussion around the price of the ARENH (Regulated access to historical nuclear electricity) appears to have stalled. Set to be released by the end of March 2014, the decree updating the price of EDF’s nuclear power allocated to its competitors appears to be slated to be published only during the summer, leaving a big regulatory vacuum for large volumes of electricity at a time when the French electricity supply/demand balances are looking considerably bearish.

PIRA Energy Group’s Weekly Oil Market Recap for the Week Ending April 13th, 2014
New York, NY (PRWEB) April 15, 2014
NYC-based PIRA Energy Group believes that Asian oil markets remain supported. In the U.S., stocks built. In Japan, consumption tax increase depresses product demands. Specifically, PIRA’s analysis of the oil market fundamentals has revealed the following:
Asian Oil Markets Remain Supported
Oil prices should find increasing support moving forward as the worst of the spring crude stock building is almost behind us. Asian gasoline cracks should improve seasonally. Gasoil cracks should hold up with ongoing turnarounds and then higher demand, especially into 3Q.
Consumption Tax Increase Depresses Japanese Product Demands
Total commercial stocks rose 4.6 MMBbls due to a 4.9 MMBbl build in crude. Finished product stocks were modestly lower. Gasoil stocks drew for the eleventh straight week. All the major product demands fell back, as an increase in the consumption tax went into effect April 1st. That increase is likely to keep demands abnormally soft for the next couple of weeks and produce adverse demand comparisons to last April.
A Closer Look at Canadian Shale Liquids Potential
It is becoming increasingly likely that the next location of significant shale liquids growth will be Western Canada. A closer look at resource potential suggests that production volumes will substantially grow. There will be obstacles including cost pressures, water management, takeaway infrastructure limits and environmental concerns that will slow progress but none of these appear to be showstoppers.
Propane Stock Building Has Commenced
U.S. stock building occurred at a faster pace than last season, but propane inventory comparisons will remain far lower year-on-year. Propane exports will grow during the course of the year as new terminal capacity is added. Near term ethane usage is affected by a relatively high level of cracker downtime. The key development is the sharp escalation in spot international freight costs which is adversely impacting trade economics.
Ethanol Prices Plummet
U.S. ethanol prices tumbled the week ending April 4 as plant output increased sharply, enabling stocks to build for the second consecutive week. At the same time, prices had reached a high enough premium over gasoline that companies reduced the percentage of ethanol-blended fuel to the lowest level in about eight weeks.

Temporary Staff Services in Australia Industry Market Research Report Now Updated by IBISWorld
Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) April 08, 2014
Prior to the global financial crisis, the Temporary Staff Services industry benefited from an outsourcing trend, a strong economy with low unemployment and a strong appetite for labour from the Mining division amid booming commodities prices. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Alen Allday, “while the industry was flat in 2008-09, it suffered in 2009-10 due to rising unemployment and weaker demand for new temporary labour positions.” However, the Australian economy weathered the global downturn relatively well as growth in the housing sector stabilised and mining output strongly increased. Many other sectors within the economy returned to growth, fuelling demand for new staff and industry services. Industry revenue returned to growth in 2010-11 as economic growth drove demand for temporary staff. A weaker Mining division and economic uncertainty in 2012-13 and 2013-14 led to industry revenue declines for these years.
In the five years through 2013-14, industry revenue is expected to increase at an annualised 0.5% to $ 18.5 billion. This includes a forecast decline of 3.5% in 2013-14. “The low revenue growth of the past five years has been accompanied by low profit margins and industry employment declines,” says Allday. However, enterprise numbers have increased at due to the low barriers to entry. The industry exhibits a low level of market share concentration, with Skilled Group Limited the only player holding a significant share of industry revenue.
Employment outsourcing has become well established in Australia over the past two decades. As a result, temporary staff services are expected to grow only modestly over the next five years. This is also due to the mature nature of the industry. The mining and energy sectors are expected to remain key growth drivers for the industry, despite weaker global growth hindering commodity demand and causing prices to decline. Further, with the Mining division being a relatively small employing sector, its growth will only have a limited effect on the Temporary Staff Services industry.

Emerging Market Turmoil, Analyses by Bulltick Research Team
(PRWEB) February 11, 2014
Over the course of the past week, Bulltick’s research team hit the television airwaves, providing valuable insight and investment recommendations during a time of heightened market turmoil and roiled asset prices. Kathryn Rooney Vera, senior macroeconomic strategist and director at Bulltick Capital Markets, appeared on Fox Business January 27th, weighing in on the emerging markets, specifically discussing Turkey’s attempt to curb its currency plunge with a huge interest rate hike and its impact on emerging market sentiment. During an interview for CNN en español, Alberto Bernal, Bulltick’s head of research and managing director, discussed Argentina y Venezuela– see his January 14th CNNEE interview here. Alberto expressed that he remains positive with the upcoming Argentinean regime change, a view shared by his colleague, Kathryn, on her January 27th CNBC interview. Kathryn appeared on CNBC January 29th, 2014 discussing Latin America’s market woes after significant Argentine peso devaluation added to market skittishness with regard to the emerging markets – see her CNBC interview here.
As the final week of January wound down, Kathryn appeared on Bloomberg Television at the closing bell to discuss the week’s market action, specifically the rout in EM and the impact on US equity markets – see her Bloomberg TV interview here. Kathryn reminded investors that panic does create profits. She advised investors to differentiate among the winners and losers based on the country’s deficit stability and history of friendliness towards foreign investments. Kathryn championed Mexico for its fiscal and energy reforms, and declared Mexico among the winners during her interview by Bloomberg, last week. She also commented on the effects of emerging market volatility on low Tech earnings, the exception being Facebook, who celebrated ten years in existence this past week.
Alberto again appeared on CNN en español on February 4th to discuss the seemingly unstoppable success of Facebook—his CNNEE interview can be viewed here. He recognized the demographic change in users that Facebook has been able to overcome and attributed the company’s success to its low maintenance costs, its vast human capital and the millions of users Facebook has yet to reach. Kathryn appeared on CNN International February 3rd –see CNN interview here – explaining the cause of the rout across Emerging Markets assets and the contagion to developed markets.

PIRA Energy Group’s Weekly Oil Market Recap for the Week Ending January 26th, 2014
New York, NY (PRWEB) January 28, 2014
NYC-based PIRA Energy Group reports that Brent crude prices have stayed strong this month. On the week, U.S. products draw while crude stocks build, while in Japan crude stocks jumped. Specifically, PIRA’s analysis of the oil market fundamentals has revealed the following:
Brent Prices Strong This Month
Brent crude prices have stayed strong this month supported by relatively tight global supply-demand balances and low inventories but will trend lower later this quarter as refinery maintenance cuts crude demand, crude supply continues its unrelenting growth in the United States, and supply disruptions elsewhere directionally ease.
U.S. Products Draw While Crude Stocks Build
Surprisingly low crude runs were largely responsible for the first crude inventory increase in eight weeks. They also contributed to a larger product stock draw versus the week earlier. A reported demand increase and increased product imports were also factors in the week-on-week product stock change. This past week’s overall inventory change was 1.3 million barrels larger than the inventory decline for the same week last year, thereby widening the year-on-year stock deficit. U.S. commercial oil inventories are declining significantly this January and this has happened just once in the last ten years.
Another Jump In Japanese Crude Stocks
Another relatively high crude import rate produced a crude stock build on slightly lower runs. Modestly higher stock builds were registered on all the major products (mogas, gasoil, naphtha, jet, and fuel oil), though kerosene stocks drew seasonally. Margins were slightly softer with weaker light product cracks overshadowing higher fuel oil cracks.
U.S. Propane Is Continuing To Exert Price Leadership
U.S. Propane is continuing to exert price leadership although developments in the mid-continent are certainly in a state of disequilibrium given high demand for tight supplies. The wide gap to the Gulf Coast is certainly encouraging flows north with the price level leading to demand destruction.
Ethanol Prices and Margins Decline
U.S. ethanol prices resumed their downward trend the week ending January 17 as improving weather in the Midwest led to higher operating rates and reduced transportation problems. Manufacturing cash margins fell as a result of the decrease in ethanol and co-product values.
China Quarterly Oil Demand Monitor
China’s apparent oil demand disappointed in 2013, as growth slowed meaningfully from 2012. Reasons for the slowing were not immediately apparent. The pace of GDP growth did not change between the two years, and physical indicators that can directly be tied to oil demand (such as vehicle sales, ethylene production, and air travel) recorded healthy increases last year. Looking to 2014, the key story for China is an ongoing push for structural reform.

Surface Vision Market and Surface Inspection Market is Expected to Reach USD 30.2 Billion by 2019: Transparency Market Research
Albany, NY, USA (PRWEB) January 20, 2014
According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research “Surface Vision and Inspection Market – Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 – 2019,” the global market is expected to reach a value of USD 2.31 billion by 2019, at a CAGR of 8.9% from 2013 to 2019.
Due to increasing need of improving manufacturing production capacity and growing demand for international quality products from consumers, the demand for these systems is rising globally. In addition, shortage of skilled workers, increasing wages and manufacturing errors increases economic burdens on manufacturers. Owing to these, the global manufacturers are seeking for automated process utilization and quality management solutions to improve their sustainability in competitive environments. It also drastically reduces manufacturing errors and helps manufacturer to maintain consistent quality of product. In addition, it reduces production wastage and number of labors required in case of manual inspection. These are some factors which are expected to increase the demand of this market.

By components, surface vision and inspection cameras (SVIC) accounted for largest revenue share of 48.1% of the overall components market in 2012. Continuous advancement in micro-chips used in camera systems helps camera manufacturers to produce more smaller, reliable and cheaper cameras. In the last two decades manufacturers has shifted towards digital and smart cameras as they are more reliable and efficient than analog cameras. These advanced cameras provide better productivity and cost cut backs to manufacturers. Software and hardware components are expected to see the fastest growth due to growing demand for sophisticated software solutions that improves integration of surface vision and inspection systems with other factory automation products.
By type, computer based systems accounted for the largest revenue share of the overall surface vision and inspection market. These are cable of handling more complex operations at greater speed. In addition, these systems can be easily upgraded with advanced software and hardware as per requirements. This makes a computer based systems more customizable and preferred by many manufacturers over camera systems. However, demand of smart camera based systems is increasing among small and medium size manufacturers as it is cheaper and easily integrated with existing manufacturing facility. Moreover, camera based systems is expected to see the fastest growth with continuous development in smart cameras to handle complex applications.
While in case of application, semiconductor, automotive, electronics and electrical industries accounted for more than 60% of the overall surface vision and inspection market in 2012. Due to minute and ever needing testing applications of chips and fabricated systems, semiconductor manufacturing industry is expected to remain the largest end-use segment for surface vision and inspection systems. However, Demand of these systems is expected to increase rapidly in pharmaceutical, packaging and food industry. This is due to introduction of stricter manufacturing and inspection regulations globally.
By Geography, Asia-Pacific (APAC) accounted for 32.3% of the overall revenue share in 2012. This region is expected to maintain its dominating market share throughout the forecast period. This is due to estimated market of growing factory automation and other advanced automation industries in India, China, Taiwan, Australia, Thailand and many other emerging countries in this region.
