News Breaks | | | | December 26, 2012 | | 07:23 EDT |  | ACH, BCS, AA, MS | Aluminum glut won't slow price increases, Bloomberg reports
The record glut in aluminum will not slow a rise in prices because of delays in getting metal from warehouses, even as Barclays (BCS) advises investors to sell and Morgan Stanley (MS) says it has the worst outlook of any commodity, reports Bloomberg. Stockpiles will expand for at least the next four quarters, reaching a record 8.67M metric tons by the end of 2013, Barclays estimates. The bank added that production will exceed demand by the most since 2009 as output expands from China to Saudi Arabia. Futures will increase as much as 16% to $2,400 a ton in 2013, according to the median of 29 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. The gains are forecast as the metal is not always available.

The EBA agreed on recommendations to supervisors to conduct asset quality reviews on major EU banks. While banks’ capital positions were significantly strengthened under the EBA’s recapitalisation exercise, the objective of the asset quality exercises will be to review banks’ classifications and valuations of their assets so to help dispel concerns over the deterioration of asset quality due to macroeconomic conditions in Europe. Since appropriately reviewed balance sheets are a key input to an effective stress test, the EBA has also adjusted the timeline of the next EU-wide stress test so to conduct the exercise in 2014 once the asset quality reviews are completed. However, to ensure transparency and comparability over the years, the EBA will provide, in 2H, appropriate disclosure on the actual exposures of the EU banking sector.
