Turner’s gone but that is more a testament to his quality, as the fifth rounder churned out great numbers for Atlanta in his first year starting. Bingham is nothing special, but still a solid snag considering he’s a seventh rounder. Final Draft ThoughtsThe more time passes the weaker Smith’s drafts begin to look. Two years ago he was a great drafter with an off year. While Harris has injury concerns I would have taken him at pick 21 and paired him with Kobe Bryant.Rondo being selected at 20th overall was a reach but the upside is there. Riskiest Pick Gilbert Arenas is one of the boom or bust picks of the draft He has played just 15 games over the last two seasons.

savings rate could rise to as high as 10 percentand suppress consumption It’s becoming impossible for Asia torely on the U.S consumer,” he said. Asian countries will recover more quickly from the globalrecession than developed nations, because the Asian financialsystem has limited exposure to subprime mortgage derivatives thatroiled the world’s largest investment banks, Kuroda said. A rapid recovery will likely put pressure on Asian currenciesto rise against the dollar, he said. It is important for Asiancountries to keep their currencies stable against others in theregion as they will likely have to accept some appreciationversus the dollar, he said. To ensure long-term growth, Asian countries will have tosupport domestic demand by improving social welfare services, hesaid “We’re calling for a rebalancing in Asia,” Kuroda said. “Asian governments need to improve education, health care andsocial security to discourage savings and encourage domesticconsumption.” Kuroda was also pessimistic on the U.S.
and Europe, sayingbanks on both sides of the Atlantic will need to raise morecapital as they still have rotten assets sitting on their balancesheets. He said European banks are also at risk as they areexposed to an economic crisis stemming from pressure on Latvia todevalue its currency A U.S. recovery may also be delayed as residential and retailproperty prices will fall well into next year, Kuroda said.

The robust refinery production, mirroring thesecond-highest ever daily crude imports last month, came amidrampant expectations of a retail fuel price rise in May andsteadily increasing domestic sales. But as supplies may be piling up faster than demand –already shown in the rise in refined fuel stocks last month –firms could be under pressure to again raise fuel exports,which have eased in recent months.
“Refining firms have very strong incentives to ramp upproduction as the new oil pricing regime gives them moreguaranteed and attractive margins,” said an official with toprefiner Sinopec Corp (0386.HK) based in Beijing. “The June 1 fuel price increases are less than what theyshould have been to reflect global crude costs and the risksfor another price rise are very high, barring any sharp crudefalls this month,” he added. China’s refinery output rose 10.7 percent in May versus ayear earlier, the National Bureau of Statistics said. This isthe third monthly rise in seven months, following a hefty 6.0percent rise in April and a mild 0.7 percent increase in March. For a graphic of China’s crude runs, click on: here Refiners processed 31.19 million tonnes of crude lastmonth, or 7.34 million barrels per day, exceeding the previousrecord of 7.21 million bpd hit last June in the run-up to theOlympics. Refinery output for the first five months was up 0.9percent on the year to 143.245 million tonnes.
Output of crude oil dipped 1.1 percent to 16.03 milliontonnes, and was down 0.9 percent at 77.78 million tonnes forthe first five months versus the year-ago period. Production of gasoline rose by a strong 30 percent in May,in line with a nearly 50 percent jump in car sales in themonth, while diesel output rose by a mild 9.7 percent lastmonth. ATTRACTIVE MARGINS China revealed details of a new oil pricing regime in earlyMay, saying it would adjust fuel prices when global crudeprices move more than 4 percent from their moving average over22 working days. It also said refiners would enjoy “normal” profits whencrude was under $80 per barrel, but tighter margins when cruderose above $80. “Refiners’ profits have been rising sharply this yearthanks to the new oil pricing mechanism, though it’s stillunder government controls,” the Sinopec official said.
Sinopec Corp (0386.HK) (600028.SS) (SNP.N), Asia’s biggestrefiner, saw its first quarter net profit jump 85 percent froma year earlier. Sinopec said last month that its refinery operation rateshave risen to 90 percent of capacity in April and May andlikely through June, after five months of rising domestic fuelsales. A Reuters poll showed that twelve major plants accountingfor more than a third of China’s capacity will increase theiraverage daily crude run by nearly 10 percent in June from May. DEMAND LAGGING BEHIND CRUDE RUNS Analysts said the hefty refinery production was apparentlyrunning ahead of domestic demand, shown by rising fuelinventories.
