Gazprom Warns European Gas " Supply Disruptions" Possible

We had previously warned that Putin's " trump card" had yet to be played and with Obama (and a quickly dropping list of allies) preparing economic sanctions (given their limited escalation options otherwise), it was only a matter of time before the pressure was once again applied from the Russian side. As ITAR-TASS reports, Russia's Gazprom warned that not only could it cancel its " supply discount" as Ukraine's overdue payments reached $1.5 billion but that " simmering political tensions in Ukraine, that are aggravated by inadequate economic conditions, may cause disruptions of gas supplies to Europe." And with that one sentence, Europe will awaken to grave concerns over Russia's next steps should sanctions be applied.

It would appear this is the most important map in Europe once again...

Short of an actual war, the consensus appeared to be, Europe's gas supplies are unlikely to be seriously threatened (since Putin relies on those revenues)... that is clearly about to change with Gazprom's comments.

As the following image from Agence France Presse (created at the end of last year) indicates, things are about to get a lot more problemati for Germany, France, and Italy...

Asian shares turn up on hopes of peaceful Ukraine solution

Reuters ? 12 minutes ago

By Lisa Twaronite and Hideyuki Sano

TOKYO (Reuters) - Asian shares turned higher and the safe-haven yen drooped on Tuesday, after Russia's president ordered troops in military exercises in central and western Russia to return to base, raising hopes that a peaceful solution might be reached.

There was no word, however, on movement of Russian forces that have effectively occupied much of Crimea.

European markets were likely to open higher, with financial spreadbetters predicting Britain's FTSE 100 to open 17 to 24 points higher, or as much as 0.4 percent, after dropping more than 100 points in the previous session. Germany's DAX was seen opening 6 to 24 points higher and France's CAC 40 14 to 18 points up.

" The lack of coherent response from the West may actually be providing some reassurance to traders that things won't escalate too far, with the reasoning being that the only thing the West will be firing towards Russia are harsh words," said Jonathan Sudaria, a dealer at London Capital Group, in a note to clients.

Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered troops that took part in military exercises this week to return to base, Russian news agencies quoted the Kremlin spokesman as saying on Tuesday. The exercises took place across western Russia, an area which borders Ukraine.

MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan added about 0.1 percent in afternoon trade.

The Nikkei ended up 0.5 percent, erasing earlier losses, on cautious bargain-hunting by investors hopeful that conflict will be avoided.

" Investors seem to think that Russia will take Crimea and the West will impose sanctions on Moscow, but there will likely be no military clash," said Kyoya Okazawa, the head of global equity and commodity derivatives at BNP Paribas in Tokyo, who spoke before the news of the troop movement.

Russian financial markets rose early on Tuesday after plunging in the previous session on fears of a military confrontation. The rouble-denominated MICEX stock index added 2.7 percent.

Many investors had flocked to safe assets for fear of further escalation in tensions.

President Barack Obama said on Monday that Russia violated international law with its military intervention in Ukraine and warned that the U.S. government would look at a series of economic and diplomatic sanctions to isolate Moscow.

The European Union also threatened unspecified " targeted measures" unless Russia returns its forces to their bases and opens talks with Ukraine's new government.

On Wall Street, the S& P 500 index lost 0.7 percent, to 1,845.73 as concerns over Ukraine overwhelmed generally upbeat economic data on the U.S. economy.

Financial data firm Markit's gauge of U.S. factory activity rose in February to its highest level since May 2010. Separately, the Institute for Supply Management said its index of U.S. factory activity rose to 53.2 in February, topping expectations. Personal spending in January grew despite the harsh winter weather.

The data helped to underpin the dollar, with the dollar index rebounding from a two-month low hit on Friday to stand at 80.033, down about 0.1 percent on the day, but still well off Friday's low of 79.688.

The euro stood at $1.3752, up about 0.1 percent. While it remained off Friday's peak of $1.38255, it hit its session high of $1.3767 after news of the Russian troop withdrawal.

Investors' risk-averse mood had helped the yen, whose gains unravelled late in the session after the Russian developments. The yen fetched 101.78 yen to the dollar, down 0.3 percent, and moved away from a one-month high of 101.20 hit on Monday.

The Australian dollar erased initial gains after the Reserve Bank of Australia kept rates steady at a record low, as widely expected. The Aussie was flat on the day at $0.8936, not far from a one-month low of $0.8891 touched on Monday. It briefly rose to a session high of $0.8970.

Gold, another traditional safe-haven asset, skidded 0.8 percent late in the Asian session to $1,339.10 per ounce, after it touched a four-month high of $1,354.80 on Monday against the backdrop of the risk-averse mood.

Gains in U.S. Treasuries sent the benchmark 10-year yield to a one-month low of 2.592 percent as prices rose on Monday, but the yield was last at 2.631 percent in Asia, up from its U.S. close of 2.608 percent.

Retreating fears of possible armed conflict pushed down oil prices. U.S. crude futures, which have been rising for weeks due to cold winter in many parts of the United States, were last at $104.22 per barrel, down about 0.7 percent on the day.

Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange added 0.3 percent to $6,989.75 a tonne, after it skidded to a three-month low of $6,944 a tonne in the previous session.

Crude oil drops after big jump over Ukraine crisis

Crude oil drops after jumping to nearly $105 a barrel due to jitters over Ukraine crisis

By The Associated Press | Associated Press ? 28 minutes ago

The price of crude oil dropped Tuesday after a big jump a day earlier over jitters that Russia's military advance into Ukraine could result in economic sanctions against one of the world's major energy suppliers.

Benchmark U.S. crude for April delivery was down 47 cents to $104.45 a barrel at 0620 GMT in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose $2.33 to close at $104.on Monda. Brent crude, used to set prices for international varieties of crude, was down 73 cents at $110.47 a barrel.

Oil prices spiked Monday over the prospect of violent upheaval in the heart of Europe.

Russian troops controlled all Ukrainian border posts on the strategic peninsula of Crimea. Fears grew that the Kremlin might carry out more land grabs in pro-Russian eastern Ukraine, adding urgency to Western efforts to defuse the crisis.

Still, the West appeared to have limited options. The clearest weapon at the disposal of the EU and U.S. appeared to be economic sanctions that would freeze Russian assets and scrap multi-billion dollar deals with Russia.

Russia was the world's second-largest producer of oil in 2012, accounting for 12.6 percent of global supplies, according to the International Energy Agency. It was also the world's top exporter of natural gas in that year, the IEA said. So, any economic sanctions taken against Moscow would limit world supply and push up prices.

Evan Lucas, market strategist at IG in Melbourne, Australia said the market is watching Europe's modest response to Russia's actions. Unlike the U.S. and Canada, Europe has a trickier path to tread because one third of its oil and gas comes from Russia, mostly piped through Ukraine. A mild winter means European inventories are high so it could withstand a curtailment of Russian supply, he said.

In other energy futures trading on Nymex:

? Wholesale gasoline was nearly unchanged at $3.018 per gallon.

? Heating oil fell 0.3 cents to $3.077 per gallon.

? Natural gas was down 5 cents to $4.542 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Ukraine Has Only 4 Months Of Gas Stocks Without Russia

Having explained the Ukraine situation in one map, it appears the inter-connectedness of Ukraine and Russia is becoming any increasingly problematic part of the current crisis. As Reuters reports, absent Russian gas, Ukraine's natural gas stocks can meet just 4 months of demand. The modest silver-lining is that the stocks are generally in the west of the country (away from potential Russian intervention) but it bears noting that Ukraine meets around half its gas demand through Russian imports (and Russia has cut supplies in the past). The situatio is not just energy though as Bloomberg notes, that Ukraine relies on Russia for about 30 percent of its global trade activity, compared with Russia?s 6 percent dependency on Ukraine. However, Ukraine has another big problem - while it would like $3bn in IMF loans, that will not even cover interest and principal payments through June...

Europe Can't Even Agree On Russian Trade Sanctions

The (ironically named) United Kingdom is the first to openly raise concerns over trade sanctions against Russia. As The Telegraph reports,

" Britain is preparing to rule out trade sanctions against Russia amid fears that the Ukraine crisis could derail the global economic recovery"

Perhaps it is the fear of a massive liquidity suck out from London's real estate market (or its banking system) that has the Brits on edge. We suspect Germany will be close behind as they eye exploding gas and oil prices and their dependence on Russia's marginal production.

Putin?s decision to back himself into this corner has been derided by the Western media as a strategic blunder but it is actually a textbook example of realpolitik. Putin has created a situation where the West?s only alternative to acquiescing in the Russian takeover of Crimea is all-out war. And since a NATO military attack on Russian forces is even more inconceivable than Putin?s withdrawal, it seems that Russia has won this round of the confrontation. The only question now is whether the new Ukrainian government will accept the loss of Crimea quietly or try to retaliate against Russian speakers in Ukraine?offering Putin a pretext for invasion, and thereby precipitating an all-out civil war. That is the key question investors must consider in deciding whether the Ukraine crisis is a Rothschild-style buying opportunity, or a last chance to bail out of risk-assets before it is too late.

Immediate support at 3075 hit and next at 3000.

Healthier tone of results
Singapore?s 4Q results season set a positive tone, with overachievers outnumbering those that missed expectations. The commodity sector was the star this quarter but banks, consumer and property/REITs contributed a handful of good, operational results outperformance too. The effects of tighter labour showed up in only a handful of companies (SATS, SIAEC, SMRT) but were otherwise not a big concern for corporate earnings. Our end-FY14 FSSTI target is unchanged at 3,600 (14.3x CY15 P/E, 3% below mean). Our regional strategist rates Singapore an overweight a positive tone to earnings help support that. Our top picks are FR, GLP, KEP, SGX, SUN, THBEV, UOL, UOB and WIL.

Please trade with care, Mr Market does not like Ms Uncertainty.

Any rebound presents an opportunity to lock in profit unless you are confident that the crisis can be resolve within days.

Just my 2 cents worth. DYODD & Good luck to all players.
