[ET Net News Agency, 17 December 2019] Goldman Sachs upgraded its estimates for higher
2020 oil prices (US$63/bbl Brent versus US$60/bbl previously), and also refreshed 2019-21
forecasts to reflect 4Q-to-date oil prices (US$61/bbl Brent versus Goldman's estimate of
US$62/bbl for October-November), and a stronger than expected Renminbi (7.05 versus
Goldman's estimate of 7.15 for 4Q).
The research house said the outlook and risk/reward in China's big oils into 2020
appears challenging, so in the broader China energy complex, Goldman suggested that
investors focus on oil services/engineering and gas distributors.
It revised its target prices for the counters in the sector as follows:
