(MIDLF) continues to explore aggressively on its joint-venture projects and (judiciously) on its own land. In all, for this year, the company plans 25,000 feet of drilling with a budget over $6 million.

The 10-year bond continued its rally on Wednesday as its yield has fallen about 22 basis points from its high in mid-March. This is a powerful signal that the market has soured on the reflation trade. It has begun to reject the notion that 2017 GDP will accelerate from the morbid growth of 2016.

The delay may be related to the internal mechanics of the market as there have been many traders on the short treasuries bandwagon. With the ECB cutting its monthly bond buying from $80 billion to $60 billion in April and the Fed preparing to raise rates ...

Its specific actions should never be interpreted as standalone procedures related solely to some unknown policy stance. That is particularly true given that we know what their stance is and has been – neutral. That means all these individual transactions are designed to either add RMB or at times take it away so that the monetary conditions in China are neither loose nor tight according to whatever internal guidelines...
