Donnie: ACTUALLY, IRAQ IS THE OIL MARKET'S BIGGEST PROBLEM Iraq, July 21, 2015 There’s a bigger threat to oil prices than Iran. Iraq. Last week, Iran struck a nuclear deal with several world powers that, among other things, will end an oil embargo and allow the country to increase production for export.

Analysts have begun to worry that the extra supply — estimated at up to 400,000 barrels per day by Goldman Sachs — could worsen the already flooded market. In a note to clients on Friday,

 however, JP Morgan analysts found that Iraq is a bigger, more immediate concern to the market.

The firm wrote (emphasis added): Iran’s agreement with the P5+1 solidifies the case of increased production in Q1.

However, it is arguably additional supplies from Iraq that are pressuring world oil prices more than Iran at this juncture. Iraqi production has risen consistently over recent quarters, but surged ahead in 2Q2015 prompting us to conclude that Iraq will likely overtake Saudi Arabia as the biggest contributor to OPEC growth this year.

The full potential of Iranian oil exports is not expected within the next year, because the production infrastructure still needs to be brought back to life. And so Iraq’s surging production is a more immediate threat to oil prices, which fell for a third week in a row last week.

On Monday morning, West Texas Intermediate crude futures were slightly lower, and fell to around $US51 per barrel. Writing to clients on Friday, Deutsche Bank’s Michael Hsueh noted that Iraqi output surged to a record high of 4.1 million barrels per day in June.

“In comparison to other OPEC members, this means that Iraqi excess production at 920 kb/d above its inferred Oran Agreement quotas is second only to Saudi Arabia at 1,670 kb/d above quota,” Hsueh wrote.

Donnie: KURDISTAN SAYS IT HAS NOT EXPORTED OIL VIA BAGHDAD IN JULY

Donnie: Iraq, July 21, 2015 The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has not exported oil through the Iraqi central government in July and continues to sell oil independently, a senior Kurdish official said on Sunday. Spokesman Safeen Dizayee told NRT the KRG is still hoping to solve the budget and oil-revenue sharing dispute with Baghdad, and that negotiations are still ongoing.

“Despite the halt of oil exports via Baghdad, the negotiations are continuous and it is expected that Baghdad will send a delegation to the Kurdistan Region,” Dizayee said. Concerning the KRG budget for June, Dizayee said Baghdad has yet to transfer funds, and it is unclear when or how much of a payment Erbil will receive.

Kurdish officials maintain that Baghdad has not sent Erbil its fair share of the federal budget under a revenue-sharing agreement struck in December 2014, but Iraqi officials have accused the KRG of not transferring enough crude oil to the Iraqi State Organization for Marketing Oil (SOMO).

Erbil has independently exported up to 600,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd) since June, Dizayee told Bloomberg News earlier this month. Officials in Baghdad consider all oil sales outside of SOMO to be illegal, but Kurdish authorities say they have resorted to independent exports to make up for a growing budget deficit.

Head of the Natural Resources Committee in the Kurdistan Parliament, Sherko Jawdat, said the KRG independently sold over 12.6 million barrels of oil in June in an attempt to solve the region’s financial crisis.

Independent sales in May alone brought in $750 million in revenue for the region, which is hosting over 1.5 million refugees and displaced Iraqis, as well as fighting a war against Islamic State (IS) militants that is entering its second year.

OOTW: GREAT INFO DONNIE - TYVM

Donnie: Iran scored a major under-the-radar economic victory in the nuclear deal ARMIN ROSEN Jul. 22, 2015, 7:58 AM

Donnie: Last week's historic nuclear deal between a US-led group of countries and Iran is intended to impose a combination of stockpile limitations and intensive monitoring that keeps the country one year away from producing a single nuclear weapon for a period of at least 10 years.

 But this achievement came at the price of having to dismantle a global sanctions regime intended to maintain the international community's leverage over Tehran.

Not every aspect of the sanctions regime is equally painful for Iran, something that gave the US and its partners a certain flexibility during negotiations. UN sanctions authorizations have been superseded by the Security Council's endorsement of the deal on Monday.

But US sanctions, which have global reach and far more intense legal sting, won't be lifted until Implementation Day, the agreement's phrasing for the point at which Iran is deemed to be in compliance with its requirements under the agreement.

Donnie: But the most important part of the sanctions regime offers no such leeway. As Mark Dubowitz and Jonathan Schanzer of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies explained in a piece published Sunday in Foreign Policy,

 Iran's main sanctions-related negotiating objective wasn't the ability to transfer its $150 billion in frozen assets into convertible currencies, or even access to lucrative European and Asian markets.

Instead, it's the ability to use the global financial transfer mechanisms established and maintained in the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, or SWIFT. Read more: http://ift.tt/1SCRWxz...

Donnie: Saudi Arabia, usually considered a close ally of the US, plans to invest ten billion US dollars in Russia in the coming years. The agreement between Saudi Arabia and Russia is a sensitive geopolitical setback for the United States, DWN wrote.

Donnie: Saudi Arabia and Russia are expanding their economic cooperation. The Saudis have signed a statement of intent, according to which they will invest ten billion dollars in Russia over the next five years, the newspaper reported. View from Kingdom Tower in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

 © FLICKR/ STEPHEN DOWNES Spending Big: Saudi Arabia Works Towards Building Nuclear Capabilities The focus of the investment projects lies in the fields of infrastructure and agriculture, as well as medicine, logistics, trade and real estate. 

The money will be provided by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) and will be distributed by the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) to corresponding projects. 

The Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud proposed the deal during a personal meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Economic Forum in St. Petersburg in June, RDIF’s head Kirill Dmitriev said.

 This is the biggest commitment of a foreign investor since the establishment of the Fund, he added. The deal has surprised international experts as Saudi Arabia and Russia are direct competitors in the highly competitive oil market. Moreover, Saudi Arabia is a close ally of the United States. 

Taking into account the recently extended sanctions against Russia, the US is likely to watch the deal with suspicion, DWN wrote.
