US rig count - 907

HOUSTON (AP) — The number of rigs exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. increased by nine this week to 907.

That's up from the 568 rigs that were active a year ago.

Houston oilfield services company Baker Hughes said Friday that 738 rigs sought oil and 169 explored for natural gas this week.

Among major oil- and gas-producing states, Oklahoma gained six rigs, New Mexico increased by four and Alaska and Utah each gained one.

Texas lost two rigs and West Virginia decreased by one.

Arkansas, California, Colorado, Louisiana, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wyoming were unchanged.

The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981. It bottomed out in May of 2016 at 404.

Hot news! Trump released classified information about JFK assassination.

It turned out that the South Vietnam killed JFK to avenge the deaths of the president of South Vietnam Ngo Dinh Diem and his brother Ngo Dinh Nhu who were murdered in a coup because the USA abandoned them.  The USA supported the South Vietnam to overthrow the Viet Cong but abandoned the South Vietnam in the end.  Therefore, the South Vietnam felt betrayed and took revenge for its President by killing the USA President JFK.

Bad karma for the USA but the USA has not learnt the lesson and is still doing the despicable act now.  The USA is still trying to dethrone any government which is not an ally of the USA.

Iphone X will crack on front and back when you drop it.

Just look at the front and back of Iphone X.

No wonder it is very expensive to replace the front & back.

There is a high chance for Noble Group to restructure its debts.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-11-09/noble-group-results-reveal-that-trader-s-troubles-are-worsening

Noble lost US1.17B in the last quarter and US$3.05B for the 9-month period in 2017.  It has cash of $262M but has net debt of $3.71B.

It is pretty obvious that Noble won't be able to service its debts in the future and is in a dire need to restructure its debts.

The USA is likely to get the Aramco IPO.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5058061/Saudi-prince-killed-firefight-resisting-arrest.html

This is not an anti-corruption campaign but a power grabbing fight by the crown prince.  He wants to make sure he can stay in power and have absolute power.

I believe the USA will get the Aramco IPO in exchange for Trump's support for the new crown prince.

The real contenders for the Aramco IPO are the USA & HK.  However, the USA will have a higher chance because of political reason.

Coincidentally, a Saudi prince was killed after the anti-corruption campaign started.

US rig count - 898

HOUSTON (AP) — The number of rigs exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. declined by 11 this week to 898.

That's up from the 569 rigs that were active a year ago.

Houston oilfield services company Baker Hughes said Friday that 729 rigs sought oil and 169 explored for natural gas this week.

Among major oil- and gas-producing states, Colorado added four rigs, Texas gained three, while Alaska tacked on two.

Oklahoma lost eight rigs and Louisiana shed four. New Mexico and North Dakota both lost a pair, while Utah dropped one.

Arkansas, California, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Wyoming were unchanged.

The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981. It bottomed out in May of 2016 at 404.

Bank of English will continue its rate hiking policy to prevent an overheating economy.  This means LIBOR will continue to rise in the future.  As London is a major financial hub, its interest rates will also affect other financial products and derivatives internationally.  The USA will take consideration of this in view of its own economic conditions and hike its interest rate in December.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-announces-jerome-powell-next-fed-chair-replacing-janet-yellen-190916792.html

Powell is trained as a lawyer with no economic background.  This means that he will not deviate from Yellen's policies because he cannot spreadhead any major economic changes due to lack of economic knowledge.  There's a high chance that he will set economic policies that will make the FED too tardy in responding to economic challenges.  He may be the man who makes the FED to be behind the curve of inflation.  Let's see.

South Korea to mend relationship with China by making some promises.

South Korea has made some promises to mend the relationship with China.

Promise 1: SK will not install additional THAAD.  SK has 6 THAAD systems currently.

Promise 2: SKwill not allow THAAD radar to extend into China's territory to address China security concern.

Promise 3: SKwill not be part of the USA military alliance and will only conduct joint military exercises with the USA.  The original USA's intention was to form a military alliance with Japan and SK to contain China.

SK and China will meet to discuss the promises further during the APEC meeting in Vietnam and officiate them in their bilateral communique.
