Price Controls Arrive: South Korea, Taiwan Impose Fuel Price Cap
It's a bloodbath across Asian markets this morning with Asia being the world's largest oil-importing region. Based on a Goldman analysis of the impact of higher oil on real GDP growth (chart below), China is the most insulated from supply-driven oil price increases compared to other emerging Asian economies, with $15/bbl higher crude oil prices leading to 0-0.1pp lower GDP growth and 0.1-0.2pp higher headline CPI inflation. This resilience is partly due to the country's economic structure and the potential for government intervention to dampen the pass-through of global price increases to consumers. Increased oil stockpiling last year - some estimates put China's strategic oil resere at 1.5 billion barrels - and very low inflation over the past few years also make China less vulnerable to rising energy prices.

Officials have considered having Treasury buy or sell energy futures, but believe the agency would have limited ability to move such a large and active market.
Daily trading volumes have surged during the recent conflict, diluting the impact any single participant could have.
The White House is also reluctant to immediately tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Heavy drawdowns under former president Joe Biden left the reserve ab...

|
|
|
A magazine's glossy photo shoot with young Wall Streeters, including a pair from Goldman Sachs who opined on their spending and dating, is setting off finger-pointing inside the famously restrained investment bank. When they were confronted by executives, at least one of the men said that they believed compliance was OK with participating in Interview Magazine's feature, “Meet the Finest Boys in Finance,” according to people with knowledge of the matter. But the press office, which stewards the bank's image, was not on board. Bloomberg News Banking Reporter Todd Gillespie joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss. He speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec. (Source: Bloomberg)...
