Closely held oil firm Surgutneftegaz has elected a career oil manager, Vladimir Yerokhin, as its new chairman after the previous head of the board of directors, Nikolai Zakharchenko, resigned for health reasons. Surgut said in a statement that Yerokhin, who has headed Surgut's drilling division for over 30 years but became a director only earlier this year, had been elected Tuesday and would serve until the next annual meeting. It did not give Yerokhin's age. The firm's web site says he was born in 1949. Analysts closely watch changes at reclusive Surgut, as the company is repeatedly rumored to be an acquisition target given its complicated shareholding structure and billions of dollars of spare cash in its accounts. State-controlled energy majors Gazprom and Rosneft have often been named as potential bidders, although the firms and Surgut's influential general director, Vladimir Bogdanov, have repeatedly denied the speculation.Via: Reuters

Morgan Stanley Asia’s chairman, Stephen Roach, spoke to Sky News earlier today while visiting Australia and warned that while the U.S. economy is entering a recession, the Federal Reserve, along with the rest of the world, doesn’t appear to grasp its significance. While the Fed cut interest rates the last time they met, Roach feels their work is far from done. He said:
They will move again, most assuredly. The US is going into a recession, they’ve a lot more work to do. They could cut their policy short term interest rate by one to 1.5 percentage points over the next nine to 12 months.
During the interview, Roach spoke about the indifference of the global economy to the prospect of an economic recession in the United States. He warned:
There is a view that the world has somehow decoupled from the American growth engine. I think that view will turn out to be dead wrong and this is a global event with consequences for Asia and Australia.
The head of Morgan Stanley Asia also told S
