U.S. Oil Services & Drilling: 2013 Outlook: The Mega-Cycle Rolls On

U.S. Oil Services & Drilling: 2013 Outlook: The Mega-Cycle Rolls On

Read the full report »

The mega cycle for the oil services industry will continue in 2013, in our view, though it remains largely obscured by concerns over the "fiscal cliff" in the U.S., an unsteady recovery in China, the ongoing debt saga in Europe and depressed equity valuations globally. Despite the macro anxieties, the reason to own oil services stocks remains clear, in our view: the world is increasingly short energy, hydrocarbon prices are at attractive levels for investment and are likely to rise further, CAPEX on energy investments is growing and, as the bottleneck, the oil services companies are likely to capture the lion's share of the economic benefit of this unfolding trend. We remain bullish on the oil services, equipment and drilling companies and expect the group to significantly outperform the broader equity market over the next several years.

2013 U.S. High Yield Default Outlook

Fitch Ratings projects that the U.S. high yield default rate will remain low in 2013. However, the rate needs to be viewed with caution as more of a lagging rather than leading indicator of credit conditions.

Summary

Global Outlook

We expect global inflation in 2013 to remain broadly unchanged from 2012, at around 3½%. Inflation rates will vary between regions and countries, though. Although inflation should remain stable around 2% in the higher-income economies, emerging and developing economies are likely to see inflation edge up slightly, to 5.4% from 5.2% in 2012. Among the advanced economies, US inflation is likely to remain broadly stable at around 2% in 2013, while in the eurozone, we expect inflation to slow to 1.6% in 2013 from 2.5% in 2012. Among the major emerging economies, Asia ex-Japan and Latin America should see inflation inch up next year. Most notably, our forecast for Brazil suggests that inflation is likely to be much more of a headache than people think.

2013 Outlook Commodities Review: European Gas and LNG

2013 Outlook
Commodities Review

European Gas and LNG

Thierry Bros

Key points

■ On 8 October, the second 27.5 bcm/y Nord Stream line was launched, bringing the facility’s total capacity to 55 bcm/y (the first line was opened in November 2011). The pipeline is designed to bring greater stability to the supply of Russian gas to Europe by reducing dependence on transit countries, with which Russia has repeatedly faced serious issues over gas prices.

US Natural Gas

Laurent Key

Key points

■ The US natural gas forward curve is, in our opinion, well priced for the start of the winter but too expensive from March to the rest of 2013. Cal 13 price forecast is $3.52/MMbtu, 40 cents below the current curve.

Michael Wittner

Key points

■ The outlook for oil market fundamentals is neutral through 2013. With another year of sluggish economic growth expected, global demand growth is forecast at 0.8 Mb/d next year, driven by emerging markets east of Suez.

Copper
Robin Bhar

Key points

■ At current levels, around $7,600/t, we anticipate limited downside risk as fundamentally the copper market remains tight; there is scope for prices to rise given a belief that the Chinese economy has bottomed and a rebound is expected over the coming months.
