A/H Premium Tracker (To 19 Jan 2024): Hs Shellacked Vs As. Near Multi-Year High Average AH Premia
- The New/Better A-H Premium Tracker has tables, charts, measures galore to track A/H premium positioning, southbound and northbound positioning/volatility in pairs over time, etc. But that didn’t help.
- SOUTHBOUND flows were bigly positive and NORTHBOUND flows a large net sell. Nevertheless AH Premia had their best week in ages as HK large caps, mid-caps, small-caps got shellacked.
- Now at new 52wk wides on A premia. Now within 3% of 5+ year highs.
State Gas – Final Construction Stage with Commissioning Imminent
- State Gas Limited (ASX:GAS) is a junior energy producer and explorer with assets concentrated in the Bowen Basin, Queensland.
- The Rolleston West CNG Project in the Bowen Basin is now in the final stage with mechanical completion and tie-in of the Rougemont-2/3 well anticipated within the next week to be followed by pre-commissioning activities.
- Importantly, first production and shipments are tantalisingly close and whilst the rate will initially be modest, up to 0.75TJd, the project has intrinsic growth potential (up to 1.7TJd) which could fund modest appraisal and evaluation works, particularly converting contingent gas to bankable reserves.
