War Room • Monthly macro discussion • Using tools in context • Update on HiddenLevers Features • Your feedback welcome
Got Oil? • Oil Technicals • Oil Fundamentals • Macro – Iran, the West + Asia
HiddenLevers Oil – Technicals
Oil Shocks + Recessions - Link 1974 – 1980 – 1990 – 2000 (even 2000!) – 2008 no coincidence
Oil – Technical Outlook • Short Term • autumn rally from $75 to $100 • heavy resistance at 100usd mark • oil not backing down from 100usd • as below, so above – 125usd Oil • Long Term • 115usd – Arab spring double top • correction pattern since then • solid support at 92/93usd • - break of 92 = oil likely revisits 74usd and below
Oil – Technical Outlook • EU sanctions against Iran baked in • 98-99usd on WTI today (24/Jan) • 110-111usd on Brent (24/Jan) • Fourth loss in five sessions What does this tell you? EU debt overshadows the Iran soap opera!
HiddenLevers Oil – Fundamentals
Oil Trends: WTI Oil vs Brent Oil WTI and Brent diverged in 2011, but spread has narrowed
Oil: Top 5 Producers and Consumers Top 5 Oil Producers: • Russia - 10.3M bpd • Saudi Arabia - 10M bpd • USA - 7.5M bpd • Iran – 4.2M bpd • China – 4.1M bpd Top 5 Oil Consumers: • USA – 19.1M bpd • China – 9.1M bpd • Japan – 4.5M bpd • India – 3.3M bpd • Russia – 3.2M bpd US consumption roughly equals other top 5 combined Source: BP Stat.

US Demand Trends International Demand: China + India Auto Markets Latest EIA / IEA Global Demand Projections Oil Fundamentals: Demand

Oil Demand: China + EM Auto China became #1 auto market in 2009, but still has only 1 cars per 25 people (US almost 1:1) Source: E2AF.com (Nikkei Business Publications)
Oil Demand: China + EM Auto • China now world's largest auto market • 25 people/car in China today • 65 people/car in India today • ~1 person/car in US • If China and India rise to 5 people/car, that's 400M additional cars 400M cars = 6M bpd oil = 1.5x Iran's production Source: NYU Econ Dept, HiddenLevers
Global Oil Demand Projections EIA projects 30M bpd demand increase by 2035
US Supply Trends: US growth, BakkenShale Global Supply Analysis Marginal Price of Production Today Oil Fundamentals: Supply
US Oil Supply Growth • US production has risen 1.6M bpd from 2008 lows • Bakken growth accounts for 400k bpd of growth • If US surpassed old peak over 11M bpd, would still have to import 8M bpd
HiddenLevers analyzed world production data in 2009 and 2011 Classified countries into post-peak or still growing Global Supply Analysis 2009: 14 Countries Growing With 40% of world oil production 2011: 12 Countries Growing With 22% of world oil production Source: HiddenLevers, BP Statistical Review of World Energy

HiddenLevers Oil – 2012 Macro Situation
Dec 2011 US Decoupling – Dream Killers • Europe – counterparty risk • Deflation – USD too strong for growth • China hard landing – 50% of world econ growth • Iran + Oil – oil shocks lead to recession
Embargo against Iran Who consumes Iran’s oil? China 20% Japan 17% India 16% South Korea 9% Asia total 70+ % EU 20% Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics • “EU sanctions aimed at avoiding conflict” – British Foreign Secretary William Hague • China + India + Russia not joining sanctions = sanctions pitting Asia against the West EU sanctions ineffective!
Scenarios – Iran blockade vsArmed conflict Scenario: Iran Blockade of Straits of Hormuz: Current Projected Impact Oil $100 $125 25% Airline Traffic Growth 1.24% -3% -4.24% DOD Budget Growth 2.10% 3% 1% Tanker Rates $18700 $940 -95% Durable Goods 12.1% 12.5% 0.4% Scenario: Armed Conflict with Iran Current Projected Impact Oil $100 $190 90% Airline Traffic Growth 1.24% -11% -12% DOD Budget Growth 2.10% 5.38% 3.28% Tanker Rates $18700 $940 -95% Durable Goods 12.10% 14.7 2.6% Consequences: World issue, not just the US: 1/3 of seaborne oil, 1/5 of total oil trade 2. Blockade requires a US government response 3. US war ships already in gulf – more coming 4. 125-150usd potential (WTI) Consequences: Israel armed conflict just as likely as US China = ex factor – Darth Vader dilemma 200usd potential (WTI) Safety in CAD?
