With Korea warped by the Choi Soon Shil scandal, investors are already looking ahead. Although it is yet unclear how the Choi Soon Shil scandal will play out, there is a high probability that the Korean people, with the approval of the National Assembly, may decide to select a new Korean President sometime in 1H17. There are three major candidates that could become the next Korean President, including Moon Jae-In, Ban Ki-Moon, and Lee Jae-Myung. <div class="content-highlight">Currently, we believe that at this point, Moon Jae…</div>

OPEC's production cuts announced this week represent a positive near-term development for world oil markets, removing more than 1 million barrels per day from an oversupplied system. Even after factoring in the inevitable U.S. shale response to higher crude prices, OPEC's cuts point to a meaningful supply deficit next year. Consequently, we are raising our 2017 West Texas Intermediate price to $60 per barrel from $50.Improved near-term fundamentals come at a cost, however. Even a modest recovery in oil prices will encourage U.S. shale producers to further ramp activity so that they eventually replace almost all "removed" OPEC barrels with their own. Increased near-term shale activity means that oil prices are unlikely to remain elevated for long. The industry is awash in low-cost oil, and temporary OPEC cuts cannot alter this reality. Our long-term oil price assumption of $55/bbl WTI is unchanged.Analyst: Stephen Simko, CFA

Electric vehicles (“EVs”) have been around for some time now in various shapes and forms. While they have always held immense promise, mass adoption has eluded the industry. As more carmakers jump onto the bandwagon, it is worthwhile exploring the opportunities and circumstances that may finally see a trend towards mass adoption. The purpose of this insight is to shed some light on the hype around EVs, the trends in costs of EVs and investment avenues.

The decision by OPEC to cut production is certain to have a material impact on short-term oil and energy share prices.This brief report aims to address what we believe are the key supply aspects underpinning 2017-18 fundamentals. Our aim is to assist long-term investors with making sense of the implications of whatever supply strategy OPEC ultimately decides to pursue. Whatever strategy is decided upon, the short-term nature of any production cuts and the long-term problem for oil prices that is U.S. shale means our bearish $55/barrel West Texas Intermediate, or WTI, long-term price outlook will not be changing.Analyst: Stephen Simko, CFA
