Low-Cost Miners in Spotlight Amid High Energy Prices -- Market Talk

Dow Jones05-04

2245 GMT - Australia's lowest-cost miners can benefit from better fuel efficiency versus rivals amid elevated oil prices, so long as demand for commodities they produce is resilient, Morgan Stanley says. The bank's order of preference among Australia's iron ore stocks is BHP followed by Deterra, Rio Tinto and Fortescue, says analyst Rahul Anand. For coal, Whitehaven is now MS's top pick, Anand says. He cites tight markets for high-calorific-value thermal coal, and gas-to-coal switching in North Asia. MS remains overweight South32 for base metals exposure. For lithium, the bank is constructive on demand but also reckons it could be the right time to take some profits, he adds. (rhiannon.hoyle@wsj.com; @RhiannonHoyle)
