Vulnerable to External Influences – The Economic State of Australia (Part I)

Australia’s future is inextricably linked to China and the commodity “super boom”. Australian economic prospects remain vulnerable to international developments outside its control.

Commodity Correction

Excellent. Australia has a brand new mining tax just in time for a huge correction in commodities. Yesterday we mentioned the probability that the bond crisis in Europe was inherently deflationary. Europe’s debt reckoning will result in massive deleveraging in the financial system. And the last time that happened, a lot of long-term speculative bets on commodities were liquidated.

Every Investor in Commodities Should Know China is their Biggest Buyer

Remember the phrase “Buy what China needs to buy”? It was a good thesis for us for years. I dipped the ladle into this idea bowl often. And the stocks of producers of potash, oil, iron ore and other stuff from the earth did well. But the tides of fortune ebb and flow. Will these commodities be good investments from here?

ABARE Explains How Much Australia Can Make from Selling Silver, Iron Ore and Coal

The main conclusion was that Australia would see rising export earnings on higher volumes but moderating commodity prices. In other words, the China boom will drive export volumes for the next five years. But you won’t see any more mammoth increases in commodity prices.

Uranium and Gold Exploration Spending Both Down in Last Year

It turns out they are, just not in Australia. The ABARE numbers measure exploration spending within Australia. But many Australian-listed firms are looking for gold and uranium in other places, especially in Africa. They’re doing so because production costs are lower there, even if political risk is higher (although in some places, it’s more than acceptable for the projects on offer).

A Look at Debt and Super

But despite that warning, and despite debt far in excess of their incomes, Aussies are STILL spending money like it’s going out of fashion.

Economy Free to Recover?

Happy days are here again. It’s like someone turned back the clock to 2007. You’re a crank and a nutjob if you think there are serious problems in the financial system. Don’t you know this is the recovery you moron!

A report on U.S. payrolls showed that the American economy shed around 491,000 jobs last month. This was less than expected by forecasters and the least amount of jobs lost in the U.S.

The Coming Oil Back Draft

During the big run up to $150, national oil companies were cash cows. But it now appears that little of the oil bounty was reinvested in new production or even maintenance of existing production. So what do we have now? We have a situation here. A situation where the falling oil price is leading a big reduction in oil production. This will match, for a while reduced demand for oil. But we also think it’s baiting the trap for a huge blowback in oil prices. And the spark for that could be geopolitical…

Farmers Say ‘Rain, Rain Go Away’ Throughout the United States

Often too much rain can be just as harmful to a crop as not enough. And in this case, heavy rain across the country has caused the corn crop to run behind by a few weeks. Some farmers have no choice but to plant later, causing their crop yields to go down…

Americans Are Hoarding Food

Today, the New York Times talks of a “recession diet,” in which shoppers try to switch to cheaper foods. And there is talk of a drought this year, further reducing the supply of available grains.

    “Why a mining executive told me to F*** Off
    in front of a whole room of investors”
    Dr. Alex Cowie doesn’t have the most popular of jobs. At least – not inside the mining industry. For his readers, it’s another matter entirely.

    As Laurence says: “I have never bought a stock and got a 100% return before … thanks for providing the information for me to have that experience – and all within two months too!”

    Right now Alex has unearthed six “must buy” resource stocks for the year ahead. His method for finding them might annoy a few people in the industry… but it could help make a lot of money in 2012 too.

    Find out why, right here
