Investors rattled at scale of virus related disruption

 

MiFID II exempt information – see disclaimer below   

Anglo American (AAL LN) – De Beers diamond sales hit by fallout of corona-virus

Aura Energy* (AURA LN) – Clarification of moves to restructure the board

Condor Gold* (CNR LN) – High grade pit scenario for La India

Vast Resources* (VAST LN) – Chiadzwa Community Diamond Project update

 

Fed rate cut indicates scale of economic impact of the Coronavirus epidemic

Expect other nations to follow China and Italy in locking-down offices, factories and towns to slow the rate of new Coronavirus infection with significant local and international economic impact

  • We expect the US, China, Germany and others to follow with new infrastructure stimulus to support the economy and keep businesses running
  • The US Fed rate cut yesterday was a bold early move by the Fed to help protect US businesses and the US economy.
  • The speed and scale of the cut indicate the expected scale of the hit to the US economy.
  • We expect to see more news of slowing production lines as manufacturers and assembly lines struggle to replace parts from China.
  • The extended New Year shutdown in China combined with massive supply chain disruption caused by transport restrictions means that US factories and shops will be running out of parts and supplies about now.
  • A number of manufacturers in the UK are already struggling to keep production lines going due to a lack of some relatively minor parts which are only sourced from China.
  • Even components which can be made in the UK still depend on certain critical items which come from China, particularly parts with minute quantities of rare earths and other metallurgically complex elements.
  • Shops, restaurants, hotels, airlines, etc… are already suffering as consumers avoid unnecessary travel and public places.
  • The UK government estimates that up to 20% of the workforce may be off work at any point in time due to the Coronavirus.
  • The UK authorities are advising more remote, home working with suspected Coronavirus cases already closing offices.

Conclusion: We were not at all surprised to see the market fall after the Fed rate cut. The Fed does not cut rates at the request of the President and is purely concerned with supporting the US economy.

The rate cut will not work on its own and new stimulus or quantitative easing will be needed to avert recession if possible.

We expect the US to support a number of new incentives as part of their strategy to stimulate demand for US services and products as the economy slows.

Chinese car sales drop record 80% in February 

  • Car sales in China saw the biggest monthly drop on record last month, as the coronavirus kept customers out of dealerships and showrooms.
  • According to data released from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) on Wednesday, average daily sales picked up towards the end of the month.
  • Two weeks ago, the CPCA announced a 92% collapse in sales in the first 16 days of February.
  • Despite China’s central government stressing the importance of the auto industry, it has not yet implemented fresh support measures (Bloomberg).
  • Local authorities have introduced incentives that rely heavily on manufacturer incentives to improve sales (Reuters).
  • The city of Foshan is providing 3,000 yuan rebates to car buyers and Guangzhou’s municipal government will give 10,000 yuan to new-energy vehicle buyers.

US – The Fed cut the benchmark rate range by 50bp to 1.00-1.25% in an emergency meeting yesterday amid growing concerns that the coronavirus outbreak may push the economy into a recession.

  • Money markets imply another 50bp cut by July, Reuters reports.
  • 10y Treasury yields continued to slide this morning after shedding 16bp and currently trading at 0.94%, the lowest level on record.
  • 2y rates lost 20bp yesterday and were down another 3bp this morning hovering around 0.67%.
  • Joe Biden secured a remarkable comeback during the Super Tuesday primary night claiming victories in nine states including upsets in Texas and Massachusetts.
  • Bernie Sanders won in four states as well as seizing the biggest prize of the night, California.
  • Expectations are building up that Michael Bloomberg and Elizabeth Warren will step down from the race giving way to two favourites.

 

China – Private PMI measures mimicked previously released numbers for government owned enterprises and reflect a total collapse in the business activity in February.

  • Caixin Manufacturing PMI: 40.3 v 51.1 in January and 46.0 forecast.
  • Caixin Services PMI: 26.5 v 51.8 in January and 48.0 forecast.
  • Caixin Composite PMI: 27.5 v 51.9 in January.

China – concern that Coronavirus now arriving by plane into China 

  • It is ironic that China which has worked so hard to contain and slow transmission of the Coronavirus is now concerned that the virus is arriving back into China from overseas.

 

Hong Kong – Business activity dropped to the lowest level on record in February beating the level recorded during a 2003 SARS episode.

  • Markit PMI came in at 33.1 last month, down from 46.8 in January and marked the steepest drop since at least 1998, when the survey began.
  • “Measures taken in response to the Covid-19 situation and general fear of being infected saw business activity and new sales sinking at a record pace in an economy that has been beset earlier by political protests and U.S.-China trade war tensions,” Markit commented on the data.

 

Eurozone – Final PMI numbers point the strongest growth in the region in six-months in February, although, outlook looks weak amid more news of the spreading coronavirus.

  • Growth was supported by a robust increase in service sector activity while manufacturing production decline slowed down.
  • On the downside, exports of both goods and services are now in decline as virus hurts demand and disrupts supply chains.
  • “While the PMI data so far for the first quarter are signalling a 0.1-0.2% increase in GDP, there are clear downside risks and a likely weakening of the economy in March,” Markit commented on numbers.
  • Markit Composite PMI: 51.6 v 51.3 in January and 51.6 forecast.

 

Germany – Retail sales rebounded from in January after falling in the previous month indicating private consumption remained robust at the start of the year.

  • Demand is supported by record-low unemployment, moderate inflation and solid wage growth.
  • Although the onset of the coronavirus related disruption is likely to see numbers deteriorating in coming months.
  • Retail Sales (%mom/yoy): 0.9/1.8 v -2.0/1.7 in December and 0.9/1.5 forecast.

 

South Korea – The government announced a $9.8bn fiscal stimulus package today.

  • “As we understand that the economy is in a state of emergency, we are putting all our policy focus on minimizing the economic fallout, especially for the vulnerable sectors, small- to medium-sized businesses and self-employed people,” Finance Ministry said.
  • New budget is planned to be presented to the National Assembly tomorrow.

 

Iran frees prisoners on bail on temporary basis to ease overcrowding and combat spread of Coronavirus

Zenith, UK Independent fleet company see EV sales increase 300%

  • The company has experienced a surge in sales, a 300% increase in salary sacrifice fleets and 250% in its company car fleets in the past 6 months. (Fleet leasing)  
  • The staggering rise in popularity may be in part at least a result of BIK (benefit in kind) tax changes announced in 2019. The alterations mean that for a pure EV with no tailpipe emissions company car drivers will be taxed at 0% in 2020/21. The new rates will be adopted into law following the budget on March 11th. (AM Online)
  • Company cars registered before April 6, 2020 will pay a 0% tax whilst those registered from that date will see a 2%pt drop. Vehicles with emissions from 1-50g/km and a pure electric mile range of 130+ miles will also benefit from the 0% rate. Both rates will then increase by 1% in 2021/22 and 2% in 2022/23.
  • Zenith recently joined the EV100 Initiative, which supports accelerating the transition to EVs and normalising electric transport by 2030. The Company has 140,000 vehicles under management, working closely with industry bodies to lobby the government and support the industry. (Fleet Point)  

 

Hong Kong brothers to release supercar to rival Tesla’s Roadster 

  • Brothers Jason and Gary Leung who founded Apex Motors will unveil the codenamed AP-0, a $195,000 two seater super car at a live-stream event on March 13th.  (Bloomberg Green)
  • The car will be manufactured in the UK, with production to commence in Q4’2022. The company is targeting 500 units in the first year.
  • Apex Motors suggest the AP-0 will have a range of 320 miles (515km) and can recharge to 80% in 20 minutes with a faster charger.
  • The brothers are targeting China as the key market, a tough proposition given the saturation of companies and downturn in demand on the back of subsidy  reductions.

 

Its not all blue skies for Tesla….

  • Tesla’s short sellers had a rare good week in recent months, recouping $2.8bn of the $10.6bn of losses YTD as Tesla’s stock plunge along with the rest of the stock market. Tesla short sellers have $12bn in short interest against the shares. (Financial Times)
  • Recent months have not been kind to Tesla sceptics, before the coronavirus driven plunge the stock was up 100% for the year. It has since lost 19% of its value from the high in mid-February.  
  • It would be prudent to suggest this is perhaps not a vindication of these short positions but rather a consequence of the global lockdown in response to Covid-19.
  • Tesla’s lack of brand recognition in Japan means the Californian EV maker is struggling in the world’s 3rd largest auto market. (The Japan Times)
  • Elon Musk’s grandstanding about Japan in 2010 after Tesla went public has not yielded the results he perhaps would have thought. The brand has struggled to gain traction and Tesla has gone as far as asking the Japan Automobile Importers Association to withhold publication of it sales figures in the country.
  • Predictions of Japan becoming Tesla’s #2 market have not come true, an industry insider has suggested just 1378 units were sold in 2019. Tesla’s direct-to-consumer business model does not sit well in a country where car buyers are accustomed to a high level of hospitality with car dealers often offering perks including complimentary maintenance, free car washes and home visits for loyal customers.

Anglo American (AAL LN) 1947.5 pence, Mkt Cap £23.4bn – De Beers diamond sales hit by fallout of corona-virus

  • Diamond sales at De Beers for the 2nd sales cycle of the year amounted to a provisional US$3555m approximately 28% lower than the US$496m recorded at the equivalent stage last year and US$196m lower than the revised US$551m for the preceding, first sale of 2020.
  • Commenting on the sales, De Beers’ CEO, Bruce Cleaver, said that Following an improvement in demand for rough diamonds during the first sales cycle of 2020, we recognised the impact of COVID-19 Coronavirus on customers focused on supplying the Chinese market and put in place additional targeted flexibility to enable customers to defer allocations of the relevant rough diamonds.
  • The De Beers results show reductions compared with both the preceding sale in 2020 as well as with the equivalent sale last year. The impact of the corona-virus, particularly on Chinese sales, is clearly adding to the pressure on an already weak market.

Aura Energy* (AURA LN) 0.25p, Mkt Cap £4.0m – Clarification of moves to restructure the board

  • Aura Energy has issued an announcement clarifying the background to moves  by its largest shareholder, ASEAN Deep Value Fund and Mr. John Bennett to seek significant changes to the board of directors through the nomination of six new directors”.
  • The company advises that following the partial completion, in February 2019, of fund-raising plans due to the failure of some  subscribers to honour their subscription agreements” with shareholder approval it “executed a convertible note for $2 million with the Lind Global Macro Fund”.
  • Aura Energy now reports that “In the past 4-6 weeks ASEAN, which holds an approximate 18% shareholding in Aura, approached Aura with a proposal to replace the existing convertible note”.
  • The company outlines the terms of the proposal, which include an interest rate of 15%, Majority board representation for ASEAN”, and a 5% finders fee and describes that it “rejected the offer on these terms which it considered to be unacceptable and well in excess of terms for comparable transactions.”
  • Aura Energy also raises questions as to the suitability of certain of the nominees for directorships as No details of the experience or qualifications of the three directors proposed by John Bennett, and limited information on the ASEAN nominees, have been provided to Aura”.
  • The company stresses that it has “always maintained a strong focus on keeping costs at as low a level as possible” and points out that the cuts implemented in November 2019 have resulted in their inability to retain the services of some key technical staff. We would also suspect that dealing with the continuing issues over governance and control of the company also comes at a cost..

Condor Gold* (CNR LN) 29.5p, Mkt Cap £27.9m – High grade pit scenario for La India

  • Condor Gold has provided information on a high grade open-pit mining scenario for the development of its 1.1moz La India gold project in Nicaragua.
  • The scenario, which is one of a number under consideration as part of mining dilution studies being undertaken by the consultants, SRK, considers a potential high grade open pit, with a relatively low pre-production capital expenditure requirement for a 1,000tpd plant producing 80-100,000oz pa of gold for the initial five years of the project.
  • A second option considers the addition of high-grade feeder pits at Mestiza and America “which would increase production to approximately 120,000oz gold per annum for 7 years”.
  • The studies are intended to examine the mining dilution arising from the presence of multiple narrow but high grade veins, particularly in the satellite pits which require a degree of selective mining to optimise the development of the resource.
  • Based on the studies completed to date, The recommended case for the Mestiza deposit considered a cut-off grade of 0.75g/t gold” while “The recommended case for the America deposit considered a cut-off grade of 1.5g/t gold.”
  • In addition, “Condor has completed internal studies on readily accessible high grade within the permitted La India open pit, which hosts an economic Mineral Reserve of 6.9Mt at 3.0g/t gold for 675,000 oz gold. The "mini pits" within the La India open pit contain diluted tonnage of 387Kt at 4.29g/t gold for 53,300 oz gold”.
  • Commenting on the outcome of the studies, Chairman and CEO, Mark Child, indicated that the studies have shown that When these feeder pits are added to the high grade material within a series of "mini pits" containing 387Kt at 4.29g/t gold for 53,300 oz gold within the permitted La India open pit, the total diluted mill feed is 1,637Kt at a 4.65g/t gold diluted head grade containing 245,000 oz gold. This would support a 1,000 tpd production feed to either a small plant constructed by Condor or a toll milling agreement with nearby processing plants for approximately five years, while leaving the bulk of the La India open pit intact, along with the potential for underground production for a long-range development potential”.
  • Outlining the future work plan Condor intends to complete the ongoing mining dilution studies and pit optimisation studies, which are underway, and incorporate the results of those studies in a mine production schedule”.

Conclusion: Condor Gold is giving careful consideration to the effective management of mine dilution on the development of La India and the associated satellite deposits. This work should inform a future production decision and we look forward to the production schedule which arises from this work. The possibility of reduced pre-production capital costs as a result of starting with a small plant or using nearby toll-milling should prove beneficial to the economics of the project.
