Regional Materials Gems, Picks & Shovels Material Headlines Markets take dim view of China’s manufacturing gauge despite
hitting four-month high as it falls just below consensus (BBG). We take another view and are encouraged by signs of recovery.
Newmont idles copper output at Batu Hijau as storage facilities fill while awaiting relaxation of Indonesia export rules (AMM). Even a temporary closure of Grasberg would lift copper prices.
China lifts railway spending for the third time in 2014 to USD129b, 2nd highest budget ever (5% below 2010) (CCM). Marginal solace to railway steel companies in a weak market.
Qingdao Port blocks materials shipments, investigates alleged fraud in use of multiple warehouse receipts for financing purposes (MB). We see further downside for iron ore prices.
Russia pivots east, forms partnership with China on oil, natural gas, coal, power, transportation (FT). We think China may find Russia as tough as Africa, and Europe may reconsider fracking.
Coal-to-gas conversion plants missing growth targets. Shanxi government supporting coal industry, yet again (CCM). We see moderate coal price upside ahead, prefer Shenhua (1088 HK; HKD21.50; BUY) over China Coal (1898 HK; HKD4.37; SELL).
Impact on Share Recommendations Improving Chinese manufacturing is good for copper. Our top
recommendations are MMG (1208 HK; HKD1.93; BUY; TP HKD2.45) with volume growth from Las Bambas, and high-beta play Jiangxi Copper (358 HK; HKD12.80; BUY; TP HKD15).
Higher railway spending should benefit Maanshan Steel (323 HK; HKD1.60; Not Rated). Steel prices have fallen in line with our forecast and should stabilize near term. We remain sellers of flat steelmaker Angang (347 HK; HKD4.59; SELL; TPHKD4.00).
Nickel prices are down 8% since mid-May, but up 40% YTD. Buy on further dips before deficit pushes prices higher in 2015. Buy VALE Indonesia (INCO IJ; IDR3,900; BUY; TP IDR4,600).
Market sentiment in India continues to rise on positive expectations for the pro-reform agenda of the BJP-led NDA party. Buy Sesa Sterlite (SSLT IN; INR295.30; BUY; TP INR252).

Our View of Material News Qingdao Port blocks some materials shipments, investigates alleged
fraud in use of warehouse receipts for financing purposes (MB).
Authorities in Qingdao, a seaport in Shandong Province that holds large inventories of aluminium, copper, alumina and iron ore, have blocked shipments as they investigate the alleged fraudulent use of warehouse receipts multiple times to raise financing (MB).
The Qingdao port is significant for commodities trade globally and in China as a centre of the finance trade and collateral management. The existence of the trade is not new, but what is news is the partial closure of the port by the Chinese authorities who are investigating possible criminal wrong doing. Apparently, some aluminium and copper inventories pledged for bank loans may be missing after having been pledged multiple times. The authorities are trying to unravel the mystery, determine the parties involved, and find out if the problem is more widespread.
What’s our View?
Market sentiment has been adversely impacted over concerns that Chinese metals demand has been overstated due to its use in the finance trade. Concerns are that future demand growth will be depressed by inventory destocking, restrictions on trade finance, and in a worst-case scenario, the liquidation of inventory following bankruptcies. The Qingdao Port investigation could also shed light on the extent to which inventory may be overstated by being pledged on loans multiple times.
The finance trade has been going on for years, and peaked late last/early this year as credit was tightened. A meaningful portion of the copper demand in China from 4Q13 through 1Q14 was finance trade and China government SRB strategic reserve buying. We believe the SRB program involved up to 300,000t of copper and over 500,000t were purchased by traders where they are held in bonded warehouses.
Inventory restocking/destocking has been a feature of Chinese consumption for some time. A more rational allocation of capital should support less volatile demand growth long-term (Figure 1). We have assumed sustainable demand growth of 5-6% per year, with restocking last year increasing it to 10% and de-stocking this year decreasing it to 5%. Copper consumption is being supported by growth in electrical grid upgrades/expansion, consumer appliances and autos.

Russia pivots to the east, forms strategic partnership with China on oil, natural gas, coal, power and transportation (FT).
The agreement, cemented during Putin’s visit to China during late May, aims to boost annual bilateral trade from USD89b in 2014 to USD100b in 2015, and to USD200b by 2020. Chinese companies will be allowed to invest in transport facilities, mines and affordable housing in Russia. Technological cooperation will be strengthened in nuclear, power, civil aviation and space technologies, and in domestic industries.
Russia will supply a maximum of 38b cubic m/yr of gas from Eastern Siberia to China via the eastern pipeline over 30 years with the first delivery in 2018. This equates to nearly one quarter of China’s gas consumption during 2013. The pact includes JV partnerships on petrochemical plants between the major energy groups of both countries.
Also included is mutual cooperation in the development of coal resources within Russia. Russian mining/energy company En+ Group agreed with Shenhua to develop the Zashulanskoye coal mine in eastern Russia, and another project involves China investing in the Elga mine with Mechel, Russia’s largest coking coal producer. The deals also include joint exploration expenditures of about USD1b.
What’s our View?
After a decade of negotiations, the timing was right for a deal given the alignment of economic and strategic interests at a time of worsening relations with the West. Simply put, China has capital and infrastructure development capabilities, and Russia significant energy resources. Unfortunately, the economic pact is likely to strengthen the quid pro quo between Russia and China to block Western influence in the Middle East and Asia, thus leaving trouble spots to fester.
This might be a near-term positive to counter US influence, negative for gold, but longer-term we see the potential for more instability as regional tensions mount. With Russia’s energy shifting eastwards, this puts pressure on Europe to consider its energy future more carefully as the high costs have already hurt industrial growth. The US has low energy costs but rising environmental costs, particularly with new EPS rules penalizing carbon emissions. The shift of heavy industry eastwards is likely to continue.
China lifts railway spending for the third time in 2014 to USD129b, 2nd highest budget ever (5% below 2010) (CCM).
China Railway Corp. lifted its budget for the third time this year on April 30 by 21% to CNY800b (USD130b). The new target is the second highest only to the level in 2010 (CNY843b) before high speed train accidents and restructuring at the Ministry of Railways led to a slowdown in construction.
What’s our View?
With the housing sector cooling, the government has stepped up railway spending to partially offset the adverse impact. (Our May 16, 2014 GPS report discussed the increase in electrical grid spending.) According to CCM, 64 new railway lines will be constructed, up from 44 in the initial plan, and above the 47 lines installed last year. Nearly 80% of the new lines will be in the central and western parts of China. In total, about 7,000km of new railway lines are planned for this year, up from 5,492km last year, and
The transportation sector accounts for only 11% of total Chinese steel consumption and within that category the railway sector is only about 1.5%, with automotive the largest at 7%. Being a niche market, the overall macro impact is low, but beneficial to targeted steel producers, such as Maanshan Iron & Steel.
The partnership is wide-ranging from business investment in energy to technological co-operation in nuclear power, aviation, space and communications.

6,366km in 2012. The total investment in railway equipment is budged at USD23.2b from USD19.5b previously.
The graphs below show the planned spending and the breakdown of steel consumption by end-use market. The transportation sector accounts for only 11% of total Chinese steel consumption and within that category the railway sector is only about 1.5%, with automotive the largest at 7%. Being a niche market, the overall macro impact is low, but beneficial to targeted steel producers, such as Maanshan Iron & Steel.

Coal-conversion plants missing growth targets. Shanxi government supporting the coal industry, yet again (CCM).
A combination of immature technology, tightening of pollution-control regulations, rising operational and financial costs, and limited water availability is slowing the development of coal-conversion plants. Datang temporarily suspended its 1.33b cubic m/yr plant in Inner Mongolia after low-quality lignite damaged gasification boilers, something other plants have faced. Shenhua has shelved is coal-to-oil plan in Yulin, China after the development costs for the 3.5mt/yr plant surged to USD20b after Dow Chemical exited the JV last year.
Shanxi Province released another plan in late May comprising 17 measures, including 11 carried over from last year. Shanxi will continue not to collect a mine environmental tax, and local government taxes will be cancelled in full, while the coal trading service fee paid to the Taiyuan Coal Trading Center will be cut in half. In aggregate, the measures will lower unit coal costs by about USD3.00/t.
What’s our View?
Our view has been that the coal-to-gas conversion plants are not viable longer-term given the resource constraints and the high operating and capex costs. After an initial rush by businesses to enter the field, approvals were halted as Beijing reconsidered the initiative and tried to limit the number of applicants. Yet the latest energy plan from Beijing still envisions coal-based gas output nearly quadrupling by 2017 to 32bn cubic metres/yr, while coal-to-oil production will be 10mt/yr. The average energy efficiency of coal conversion has been targeted at 50% in the plan.

The slowdown in coal demand and prices is exacting a heavy toll on the once high-flying coal city of Taiyuan. Our frequent visits there found it nearly impossible to cross the mountains at dusk when coal trucks filled the roadways. With coal mine closures and lower prices, economic growth and traffic have slowed to a standstill. Quite a bit of cash was also flowing out of China from overnight coal millionaires into art and luxury goods, which have also taken a hit from the slowdown.
Taiyuan, with a population of 4.3m, reported 0.1% GDP growth in 1Q14 from a year earlier, compared with 11.9% in the same period in 2013 and 8.1% for the full year. The city’s industrial production fell 9.3% in the January-March period, while fixed-asset investment rose 25.5%, a sign of efforts to revive expansion.
Throwing a life line to the industry only keeps marginal coal production active in our opinion. Given our forecast for continue weak coal-price volatility (figure 5), the upside to GDP in Shanxi Province would most likely come from stimulus spending on a low economic base.
Coal inventory is down from high levels during 2012, but remains ample at 21 days supply at power plants in May from a low of 18 days in March due to moderate restocking for the summer high season (figure 6). We continue to recommend more defensive exposure given our coal price forecast, preferring Shenhua over Shanxi-based China Coal.
