Its all too easy, you start watching one episode, you think, one more, and the hoursjust go. Hello and welcome to Business Live. Oil is once again in the spotlight. As one of the worlds most important commodities, its price can influence the cost of everything from filling up our cars to shipping goods around the world. For the top Oil Producing nations, it also underpins government finances. So perhaps what everyone at the World Petroleum congress in turkey wants most is the stability to plan ahead. As you can see, while a global deal between major producers, but not the us, to limit supply has somewhat stabilised the price of the black stuff, oversupply now means the price is falling again. In fact, the oil price is down more than 12 this year, with an uptick in Global Demand insufficient to absorb rising output, a lot of it from the united states. The latest data shows that Us Oil Production driven by Shale Oil Output rose 1 last week to 9. 31; Million Barrels per day. It used to be the case that us Shale Production wouldnt be Cost Effective with a price below 50 a barrel. However, increased efficiency and technological advances have changed that. Since 2013, the average price at which it becomes profitable has dropped from 80 per barrel to 35. Trevor sikorski is the head of natural gas and carbon at energy aspects. Ben was talking a lot about oil and Rex Tillerson is an oilman, so it was expected that he might talk at length about in turkey. He actually didnt. The focus was more on gas. Yes, that is one of the interesting things about this. Thematically, when you look at the conference, it is as much about gas and sustainability as it is about oil. It is almost like yes, there is a lot of supply out there and rain in the supply in has been a challenge. The longer term challenges are more on the demand side. What will happen with Energy Transition . What role does gas play in that . What role do renewa bles does gas play in that . What role do renewables play . All of that will probably squeeze oil. Why do you think Rex Tillerson took that tack . I think that now, hes not speaking as the head of the Worlds Largest oil company, he is speaking as Secretary Of State the us. And a big pa rt Secretary Of State the us. And a big part of us Policy Under Trump has been pushing ahead in trying to progress us natural gas exports. Last year, the us became a natural gas export of the first time, investing a lot in export capacity. This is a big thing for trump. It creates jobs domestically, and this is a big thing for trump. It createsjobs domestically, and it also makes gas more expensive in the us, which is good for coal, which is another big part of trump. We talk a lot about Shale Production in the us and how that contributes to the glut around the world of oil and gas and keeps prices suppressed. It is a dramatic level to which prices have dropped. That will surely just encourage the Shale Producers to keep pumping the stuff out. Absolutely. Shale production is a new technology. We have seen huge increases in the advancement of those techniques. That creates more supply. With the latest down and pick in crude prices, we are starting to see a slowing in Drilling Activity in the us, but it is still healthy. The demand for oil is still healthy. The demand for oil is not going to be helped by big Car Companies like volvo and vw saying they are going to do try and get rid of their internal combustion engines and go electric. Tesla today were unveiling their mass market model. This is the big threat for oil. The electrification of transport. It is exciting because it is new technology and it is very good for the climate. But within that, you need to have low carbon fuels generating a lot of electricity. Gas plays into that because it is a lot less carbon intensive than oil or coal. So when you look ahead as a transition fuel, gas has a big role to play. That is why it is so high on the agenda. Trevor, good to talk to you. Lets take a look at some of the other stories making the news. Tobacco giant Philip Morris has been ordered to pay millions of dollars in legal fees after unsuccessfully suing the Australian Government over its plain packaging law. In 2012, Australia Legislated that cigarettes must be sold in unappealing packets with Graphic Health warnings. The International Permanent court of arbitration hasnt published the amount Philip Morris must pay, but Australian Media is reporting a figure of us 38m. Kuwait airways and royaljordanian have become the latest middle Eastern Airlines to remove restrictions on passengers taking laptops in the cabin on us bound flights. Both carriers said they had worked with us officials to tighten security checks. The us imposed the ban in march on direct flights from eight mainly muslim countries to address fears that bombs could be concealed in the devices.

Monica miller is in our Asia Business hub in singapore. What more do you have on this . Cost those stocks are gaining traction after the news broke of the weekend that the shipping Company Offered to buy its rival, 0rient 0verseas International Out Of Hong Kong for 6. 3 billion. That will make it the third biggest Container Ship Company in the world. This comes at a crucial time for the Chinese Government that wants to raise its Global Shipping profile, which was a big part in its initiative aimed at increasing a supply chain to the west. They will now have 400 vessels to achieve that goal. But analysts say that the sooner shares often fall say that the sooner shares often fa ll after say that the sooner shares often fall after an announcement like this. But coscos stock rose to its highest in almost two years today. Monica, thanks. Asian stocks rallied on monday. Tokyo stocks closed higher as chinese data kept investors upbeat on the Global Economy while a weak yen boosted exporters. They were also lifted by wall streets Strong Performance on friday, while the us dollar extended gains made after much stronger than expected june employment data. Lets show you how the european markets begin the trading week. All of them are in positive territory. We will see what janet yellen as to say when she makes her speech later this week. What the us fed does will have an impact on other markets around the world. We will get into that in a moment. Samira hussain has the details about whats ahead on wall street today. Its a busy week here in the us. On monday, a trial is set to begin against general motors. The claim is that a faulty Ignition Switch caused a Power Failure that led to an accident. General motors has conceded that an earlier version of the switch was defective, but denies any such problem with the newer version at issue in this upcoming trial. The other big event happening this week is of course the Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellens testimony to lawmakers on wednesday. This is her semi annual appearance, where she will be asked questions about the economy and fed policy. No doubt she will certainly be asked about the feds plan to reduce some of its asset holdings. Finally, the week ends with a bit of a bang as some of americas biggest banks will report Second Quarter earnings. Joining us isjeremy stretch, head of Currency Strategy at cibc world markets. Lets start with talking about the us dollar. It has been given a boost by better than expected jobs numbers. Indeed. The us Labour Market continues to generate a large number ofjobs. Market continues to generate a large number of jobs. The Labour Market continues to generate a large number ofjobs. The Labour Market is tight in the us. That implies that economies are growing at a reasonable clip and by virtue of that, that suggests that the feds policy of raising rates gradually still has further to run. So that sets the template for yellens testimony on wednesday and thursday this week. Talking of that, what are your main expectations to come out of that . As i say, the markets are looking for the backdrop of the Interest Rate story. Not only what they will do about Interest Rates, but also what they will do about Balance Sheets. They have bought huge numbers of us treasuries. They need to gradually release those back into the market. Markets will be looking for signs on both Interest Rates and the Balance Sheets, and that will have implications for the dollar and other global banks. 0ther Central Banks are considering raising rates as well. They will also be looking for hints about the fed started paper its Balance Sheet and selling the bonds it holds. Indeed. We have seen Interest Rates in terms of bonds are moving significantly, so that does create uncertainty in relation to things like Mortgage Rates, because if bond yields were to rise too quickly, that would push up Mortgage Rates or would risk pushing them up. So there isa would risk pushing them up. So there is a Difficult Balancing Act here, and markets are watching to see how janet yellen will pursue that over the next few weeks. Another major economy we all look too is china. They had some Inflation Data out. They had some Inflation Data out. They did. They had both consumer and Producer Price inflation, and those numbers were in line with where the market would like things to be. We we re market would like things to be. We were not seeing prices moving too slowly so we were not seeing a defect risk. But we are not seeing prices are increasing too quickly, which would imply that the Central Banks would need to move faster. So it isa banks would need to move faster. So it is a Goldilocks Scenario as far as the chinese Inflation Story is concerned. Inflation is going up, but not too quickly. 0ne concerned. Inflation is going up, but not too quickly. One of the by products of that is what is happening in the oil markets, going to your previous discussion. It is important that we dont see Oil Prices Moving up to dramatically, because that would have implications for inflation. We have that major meeting of 0pec members later in the week. Jeremy, you will take us through the papers later. Still to come. Fishing for the future. Well get the inside track on a new charity trying to keep our oceans alive for generation z.
