LNG: Russia’s Novatek Will Continue to Develop LNG Projects: CEO

Dec-05 13:32

Novatek will continue to develop LNG projects for the global market, CEO Leonid Mikhelson said at the Verona Eurasian Economic Forum in the UAE.

  • “There are no good and bad LNG projects. Each of them contributes to meet the global demand,” he said.
  • He added that Novatek’s production costs are among the lowest.
  • Barriers erected to Russian gas “directly hurt economic growth and people’s wellbeing in different regions of the world,” Mikhelson said.

BONDS: Still Under Pressure

Nov-05 13:24

TY, Bund and gilt futures trade to fresh session lows.

  • Fresh upticks in oil and some NY catch up to the uptick in Trump’s election odds being touted as the drivers by some, with no fresh headlines of note seen.
  • Initial key support levels still untested across the 3 major futures contracts.
  • 5s to 10s the weakest on the Tsy curve, while Bunds steepen and 5s lead the sell off in gilts.
  • 10-Year gilts widen by ~1bp vs. both Bunds and Tsys, sub-par demand at today’s 10-Year UK supply a factor there.
