In this report we offer an alternative way of looking at Gazprom's strategy which much better explains the company's decisions. Using this inverted viewpoint, we deduce Gazprom's likely future investment program - never disclosed before - and suggest the way to play it is via the pipe producers. We also argue that Lukoil is trading at bargain levels, given the company's newfound commitment to capital discipline, and then suggest why market might take its time to bid up the stock.
MARKET COMMENT - UNSTEADY GLOBAL SENTIMENT, BUT ALSO RISING OIL PRICESThe Russian stock market and peers fell yesterday, the RTS and MSCI EM dropping 1.4% and 1.2%, respectively. The move of the US 10y Treasury yield above 3% has put investors' nerves on edge. That said, sentiment improved late in the day yesterday, and gains in the oil price look supportive for the Russian market this morning.STORIES> Weekly inflation in Russia remains at 0.1%> Rosneft declares dividend in line with expectation...
Brent, ‘Wars’, IMF-ECB-CBR Ahead: Fully-charged week. The week kicks off against a host of potential triggers. Brent has recaptured the $74/bbl handle as markets shrugged off a Trump tweet that opposed the Saudi preference for $80-100/bbl, while the threat of supply disruption (e.g., US’ potential re-imposition of sanctions vs Iran, Venezuela political turmoil). The easing of geopolitical tension has gained momentum – Western Russo-phobia is showing signs of de-escalating (US-Russia san...
MARKET COMMENTThe Russian market crept down for a second day in a row on Friday, the RTS declining 0.7% to 1,146. The MSCI EM fell 1.3%. Few strong catalysts emerged for global markets. The obvious highlight on this week's calendar is the CBR meeting for Russian markets, while globally investors will also have eyes on the ECB and BoJ meetings, and a number of second-tier political events.

> As the government has succeeded in stabilizing the ruble rate, the earnings of Russian energy producers - and in many cases, their dividends too - have become much more sensitive to the oil price. This renders the 6% average yield from the sector less appealing, except to oil price bulls. We prefer companies that can yield far above the average now or in the longer term. The unresponsive ruble removes an important hedging feature from Surgutneftegaz preferred shares, and we downgrade them to a...
