The timing may look coincidental but Rex -- which transformed from explorer to producer over the last 2 years -- has quite a few things going for it in 2H2022 which the directors will appreciate.

• The valuations of Rex stock currently look attractive as its price has come off about 52% from its 48-cent peak in March 2022 (chart below). 

rex chart9.22* Based on assumed 2 cent dividend, as per Rex announcement of intent to pay 0.5 cent dividend a quarter from 1Q2023.
• 1H2022 had seen production stoppages (which had been planned) and some subsequent unforseen issues in the Yumna Field off Oman -- the key revenue generator in 2021.

These are behind it now, according to Rex. (See: 
)


• The biggest global research houses are bullish on the outlook for oil even if recession fears have dampened previously higher price forecasts: 

• JP Morgan last week said Brent crude is expected to rebound to US$101 in the fourth quarter, citing tighter supply.

• Goldman Sachs three weeks ago said Brent could hit US$125 next year.

• Morgan Stanley sees Brent crude at US$95 per barrel in the last quarter of the year, still higher than current US$86 levels but it's a downward revision prompted by growing recession fears.

• UBS also revised down its price expectations earlier this month, again citing recession concerns, bringing Brent to US$110.
