global: August 08, 2011CBS News quotes NUS Consulting Group CEO Richard Soultanian's analysis in their report as oil prices tumbled to their lowest in almost a year Tuesday in Europe amid a global sell-off of equities and commodities triggered by investor fears the U.S. will soon fall into recession.
Download PDFNewsflash - Markets Succumb To Reality
global: August 08, 2011Last week we issued a News Flash entitled “Sea of Uncertainty” which focused on a number of highly troubling events facing the markets. Specifically we analyzed and provided our predictions, relating to the US debt ceiling debate, the most recent European bailout plan, events in the Middle East and North Africa and slowing economic data out of China. Our conclusion was summed up in the following sentence, “unfortunately, it is our view that the resolution of these issues will not come easily or swiftly and consequently we continue to expect increased volatility in the energy and the commodities markets for the foreseeable future.” Being one of the few market analysts who published a forecast in January that called for oil to end the year in the $80s, our models consistently expected an economic slowdown in the second half of this year - but the action in the markets in recent days has exceeded even our pessimistic outlook.
News Flash : Un mare di incertezza
italy: July 26, 2011Una cosa di cui si può essere sicuri ad oggi è l’incertezza che ha preso piede nei mercati. Una settimana fa stavamo analizzando le molte sfide che stanno affrontando i mercati: il deficit degli Stati Uniti e il relativo dibattito sul tetto del debito pubblico, la crisi del debito pubblico in Europa ed i continui scontri in Medio Oriente e Nord Africa (MENA). Alla fine della settimana, dopo la pubblicazione di nuovi dati economici che riguardavano la Cina, abbiamo pubblicato una News Flash che ha aggiunto a questa lista preoccupante il rischio di un rallentamento dell’economia cinese. Non dovrebbe sorprenderci il fatto che davanti a così tanti problemi i mercati si stiano muovendo principalmente in base ai notiziari. Sfortunatamente, a nostro avviso, la soluzione di questi problemi non arriverà facilmente e/o rapidamente e di conseguenza noi continuiamo a prevedere un aumento della volatilità nei mercati energetici e delle commodity per il futuro prossimo.
News Flash – Sea Of Uncertainty
global: July 26, 2011If there is one thing we can be certain of, it is that uncertainty has taken hold of the markets. A week ago, we issued a News Flash entitled “Headwinds Galore” which reviewed the many serious challenges facing the markets – the US deficit and debt ceiling debate, European Sovereign Debt Crisis and continued unrest in the Mideast and North Africa (MENA). At the end of the week, after the release of new economic data concerning China, we issued a News Flash which added to this already troubling list the risk of an economic slowdown in China. It should not be a surprise that faced with so many serious issues the markets have been trading largely on the news. Unfortunately, it is our view that the resolution of these issues will not come easily or swiftly and consequently, we continue to expect increased volatility in the energy and commodities markets for the foreseeable future.
Un mar de incertidumbre
spain: July 26, 2011La economía mundial se enfrenta en la actualidad a más desafíos (de tipo político, económico y geopolítico) que en cualquier otro momento de la historia reciente. Los retos son de tal magnitud que, no sólo pueden hacer descarrilar la frágil recuperación económica, sino que pueden además lanzarnos hacia otra grave recesión. En este contexto prevemos que en el segundo semestre de 2011 los mercados energéticos corrijan al menos parte de las subidas que acumulan desde finales del año pasado.
Italy : News Flash – La Cina Rallenta
italy: July 25, 2011Non c’è dubbio che, a partire dalla crisi finanziaria, la Cina è stata uno dei driver principali della crescita economica globale. Gli sviluppi attuali, tuttavia, suggeriscono che potrebbe esserci aria di cambiamento. I dati recenti riguardanti il commercio e la produzione manifatturiera indicano che l’economia cinese, la seconda economia più grande al mondo, potrebbe essere in rallentamento. Se la traiettoria di crescita della Cina si sta effettivamente livellando, questo avrebbe un impatto significativo sui mercati energetici e delle commodity.
News Flash – China Slowing
global: July 22, 2011There is little doubt that, since the financial crisis, China has been one of the main drivers of global economic growth. Recent developments, however, suggest that change may be in the air. Recent trade and manufacturing data indicate China’s economy, the world’s second largest, may be slowing. If China’s growth trajectory is actually leveling, this will have a significant impact on the energy and commodities markets.

La Gaceta - Artículo subidas de la luz - NUS Consulting
spain: July 20, 2011La última subasta Cesur tuvo como resultado un incremento de un 2,7% en el coste de la energía. La mitad del coste de la TUR se establece en función del coste de la energía. Por el contrario, en la subasta Cesur de marzo el coste de la energía bajó en un 10%. En ese momento debería haber bajado el precio de la luz un 5%, en cambio no bajó. La pregunta es: ¿Se está actuando limpiamente en los precios de la luz?
Newsflash - Headwinds Galore
global: July 19, 2011Today the global economy faces more challenges (political, economic and geopolitical) than at any time in recent history. Although one could blithely dismiss each, and maybe all, of these issues with the old adage – “the market climbs a wall of worry,” the challenges we face today, both individually and on a combined basis, are of sufficient magnitude that they could not only derail the fragile economic recovery but also throw us back into another serious recession. In light of this backdrop, we continue to believe that the second half of 2011 and the start of 2012 will be sluggish at best and, at worst, could see the start of a double dip recession. Consequently, we are retaining our existing forecast which provides for energy markets to soften in the second half of the year and into next year.
Italia : Il Sole 24 Ore:
italy: July 18, 2011La speculazione spinge all’insù la bolletta energetica delle imprese e avvicina i prezzi delle bollette pagate dalle aziende tedesche e italiane. Negli ultimi dodici mesi in Germania i rincari di gas naturale ed elettricità hanno sfiorato il 25%, con una progressione che ha ridotto al minimo il differenziale tra i due paesi. In Italia il gas ha però visto un aumento di quasi un terzo, tra i maggiori al mondo secondo l’«Indagine internazionale sul costo dell’energia elettrica e del gas naturale 2010-2011» realizzata dal Gruppo Nus Consulting, specializzato nel controllo dei costi energetici delle aziende, che ha messo a confronto i prezzi al 1° giugno di queste due commodities in 16 Paesi.

A Lighter Shade of Green
united states: June 30, 2011While America’s “Green Movement” is largely considered by most to be a modern invention, it has its roots in the intellectual thoughts of the 1830s and 40s which concentrated on preservation of natural resources, regulation of pollutants and a growing awareness of the environmental and health risks of the increased and largely unregulated use of chemicals and natural resources used in manufacturing and industry.

Spain - ¿Es realmente necesaria esta subida de la luz?
spain: June 30, 2011La luz se va a encarecer a partir del 1 de Julio como consecuencia del resultado de la última subasta CESUR y la decisión del gobierno de no ajustar los costes fijos (parte del coste del suministro que sigue dependiendo directamente del Ministerio de Industria). El encarecimiento será de casi un 1,5%. Este porcentaje puede parecer poco relevante a primera vista. Sin embargo, si tenemos en cuenta que se suma a una subida de en torno al 10% de principios de año, y a otra de en torno al 5% en Octubre del año pasado, la conclusión puede ser diferente: en menos de un año los consumidores domésticos hemos sufrido un encarecimiento de casi el 20% en el precio del suministro eléctrico. ¿Es necesaria esta subida?
