Cocktail Reception with CLSA’s Ian Roper on 2015 Commodity Outlook

The Asia Mining Club invites you to a cocktail reception, featuring a presentation and Q&A with CLSA’s highly ranked Commodity Strategist, Mr Ian Roper.

Iron ore:
Ian is well-known as a long-term iron ore bear. Learn why he continues to believe the iron ore price has further to fall next year, and hear his thoughts on the prospects for Chinese steel demand as Beijing loosens housing policy.

Coal:
Coal markets appear to have reached a bottom. Ian will share some views on how far prices might recover and what the key levers are.

Nickel:
Nickel is highly topical at the moment, as over-exuberance earlier in the year has turned to dismay, with prices giving back all their gains. However, learn why Ian believes that the story has further to run.

Copper:
Learn why Ian’s favourite commodity on a 2-5 year view is still copper, and why there will be a number of buying opportunities in the next 6-12 months.

Cocktail Reception with CLSA’s Francis Cheung on China Macro Outlook

The Asia Mining Club invites you to a cocktail reception, featuring a presentation and Q&A with CLSA’s highly ranked China and Hong Kong Strategist, Mr Francis Cheung.

Join this event to hear Francis’ views on the outlook for China’s economy as it transitions to a slower, but more sustainable level of growth.

China Challenges:

China’s economy is slowing, but this is the necessary price of reform. The mistake was trying to sustain the high growth we have had over the last five years. The government changed its strategy last year as the property bubble burst and declared that China was in the “new normal”, allowing the economy to slow.

China is transitioning from an unsustainable high growth rate of 7.5-8% over the last five years to more sustainable 5-6% growth. The risk is that the economy overshoots on the downside and the government will need to use fiscal and monetary policy to offset this.

Over the last nine months, China has initiated more reforms than it has in the last five years. Services and consumption are the biggest drivers of the economy, not investment. We remain cautious on the market and recommend over-weight services such as internet and healthcare and under-weight investment such as construction and machinery.
