KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 10 (Bernama) -- The FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) recovered from yesterday's losses to close marginally higher on Friday, driven by bargain hunting in banking and telecommunications stocks, despite the downbeat performance in regional bourses. At 5 pm, the benchmark index edged up 1.60 points, or 0.10 per cent, to 1,602.41 from Thursday’s close of 1,600.81. The FBM KLCI opened 2.73 points higher at 1,603.54 and moved between 1,599.71 and 1,605.74 throughout the day. The overall market breadth was slightly negative with 530 losers and 443 gainers, while 551 counters were unchanged, 845 untraded, and 19 others suspended. Turnover narrowed to 2.52 billion units valued at RM2.42 billion against Thursday’s 3.49 billion units valued at RM2.93 billion.

I've got a forwarded email which talk about the current fuel situation. This guy really go all the way to calculate the exact price for petrol. It is another version of the calculation, at least different from my calculation. The email content is as below:-
We know the international rates are above the USD 130/barrel. We understand the fact that the fuel prices are increasing worldwide and we also know that major scientist are still contradicting on why this phenomenon is happening. Some blame Bush and his plunders around the world and some blame climate change and there are others which say petroleum 'wells' are getting scarce.
Again we go back to numbers to be more straight fwd
1 barrel = 159 liters x RM2.70/liter = RM 429 or USD 134
On 1 hand, we are paying the full cost of 1 barrel of crude oil with RM2.70 per liter but on the other hand the crude oil only produces 46% of fuel.
Msia sells crude oil per barrel at USD130 buys back Fuel per barrel at USD134. And not forgetting, every barrel of fuel is produced with 2 barrels of crude oil.
1 barrel crude oil = produce 46% fuel (or half of crude oil), therefore
2 barrel crude oil = approximately 1 barrel fuel
In other words, each time we sell 2 barrels of crude oil, equivalently we will buy back 1 barrel of fuel.
Financially,
Malaysia sell 2 barrel crude oil @ USD 130/barrel = USD 260 = RM 858
then, Malaysia will buy back fuel @ USD 134/barrel = RM 442/barrel
Thus, Malaysia earn net extra USD 126 = RM 416 for each 2 barrel of crude sold/exported vs imported 1 barrel of fuel !!! (USD 260-134 = USD 126 = RM416)
So where this extra USD 126/barrel income is channeled to by Malaysian Govt???????? ?
Another analysis:
1 barrel crude oil = 159 liters.
46-47% of a barrel of crude oil = fuel that we use in our vehicles.
46% of 159 = 73.14 liters.
@ RM 2.70/liter x 73.14 liter = RM197.48 of fuel per barrel of crude oil. This is only 46% of the barrel, mind you. Using RM 3.30 = USD 1, we get that a barrel of crude oil produces USD 59.84 worth of petrol fuel (46% of 1barrel).
USD 59.84 of USD 130/barrel turns out to be 46% of a barrel as well.
Another 54% = bitumen, kerosene, and natural gases and so many more.
And this makes a balance of USD 70.16 that has not been accounted for.
So this is where I got curious. Where is the subsidy if we are paying 46% of the price of a barrel of crude oil when the production of petrol/barrel of crude oil is still only 46%?
PS: My previous post only points out that we (Malaysia) sell at lower price according to crude oil price only to buy at high price according to world market price.
