US rig count - 1044

HOUSTON, Aug. 24 (Xinhua) -- The number of active drilling rigs in the United States decreased by 13 to 1044 this week, showed weekly data released by Baker Hughes on Friday.

The Houston-based oilfield services company reported that the U.S. state of Louisiana led the drop with reducing by seven rigs, while Texas gained three rigs and increased its overall rig count to 528.

The number of rigs operating in U.S. oil fields fell by nine to a total of 860 rigs this week, which is the biggest reduction since May 2016. More than half of the U.S. oil rigs were located in the Permian Basin region of western Texas and southeastern New Mexico.

The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for October delivery rose 0.89 U.S. dollar to settle at 68.72 dollars a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, while Brent crude for October delivery added 1.09 dollars to 75.82 dollars a barrel on the London ICE Futures Exchange.

The Australian PM may quit soon because he is losing support.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/lawmaker-tells-australian-leader-party-doesnt-back-him-232549188.html

The Aussie PM may quit soon because he is losing support for his anti-china policies.

The Australian economy won't be good with anti-China policies.

Australia is still anti-china.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/australia-bans-chinas-huawei-participating-mobile-network-infrastructure-234923278--finance.html

If Australia wants to ban China Huawei, China can also ban Australia wines & dairy products.  Who has more to lose?

No wonder Australia PM and his party are crumbling.

The Anti-China Australian PM and his party are crumbling.

https://www.afp.com/en/news/23/ministers-offer-quit-australia-political-crisis-deepens-doc-18i7ap1

The Anti-China Australian PM and his party are crumbling in the face of an economic slowdown.

The economic slowdown was exacerbated by the unfriendliness towards China and caused some trading obstacles between Australia and China.

The current Australian PM and his party have to be removed from power in order for an improvement in the Australia-China relationship.  The politicians and the residents know this and they've to effect the change to stop the economic slowdown and improve the relationship with China.

Maersk has begun its first container ship using the Arctic sea.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/maersk-launches-first-container-ship-132220934.html

This is the first time Maersk has bypassed the Strait of Malacca and Singapore port to move its cargoes.

Once Maersk collects enough data and experience in manoeuvring the Arctic Sea, it will reduce its shipping frequency to the Strait of Malacca and Singapore.

Temasek's investment portfolio has suffered another loss!

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/sea-loss-widens-investment-shopee-230841952.html

Temasek is a shareholder in another loss-making company, SEA LTD.

SEA lost US$250.8 in the previous quarter and would continue its losses in the competitive e-commerce industry because it wanted to gain its market share.

The stock market is overly optimistic about US-China trade talk.

The stock investors are overly optimistic about the upcoming US-China trade talk.  Why?

This US-China trade talk is a mid-level negotiation which will just set the stage for the November trade meeting between Trump and Xi.  Therefore, there won't be any significant trade dispute that will be resolved in this August trade talk and the mid-level authorities are not empowered to make any important trade decision but to defer the decision-making to November.

Anyway, any decision made in this August trade talk can be easily revoked by Trump in November.  Thus, it is pointless to remain optimistic for any good outcome.
