Oil prices rally to settle above US$52
. .. ....
A barrel of crude hasn't settled below $50 since May 24, 2005. But prices came close Tuesday, sliding as low as $50.28 in early trading before recouping the losses. The price of crude has plunged 14 per cent since the year began due to weeks of unusually warm weather in the Northeast and an influx of short positions in the market, or bets that prices would fall.

Delta Pushes Ahead on Standalone Plan
.....
Delta has said it hopes to emerge from Chapter 11 by the middle of this year. It faces a hostile $10.4 billion buyout bid by Tempe, Ariz.-based US Airways Group Inc., which is asking that the hearing on the disclosure statement be postponed and that Delta's official unsecured creditors committee show support for opening up Delta's books to US Airways.
The official committee has been silent about its position since US Airways upped its offer by nearly 20 percent on Wednesday. Delta has said repeatedly that it opposes a merger with US Airways, but its creditors will play a key role in deciding the airline's future course.
The question is whether they want to take the money US Airways is offering and run the risk of a long regulatory fight, or stick with Delta's plan to emerge from bankruptcy as a standalone company worth $9.4 billion to $12 billion. Any other bids that could come in from other carriers also could add to the mix. As of last month, Delta said there hadn't been any other offers.
An unofficial group of unsecured creditors has called on Delta "to provide thoughtful and unbiased consideration" to the enhanced offer by US Airways.
Delta management has argued that the combination of US Airways and Delta would not receive regulatory approval because of the overlap of the two carriers' routes. US Airways says there wouldn't be any regulatory holdup.

HK shares shed 1.9 pct on busiest day in 8 years
REUTERS HK shares shed 1.9 pct on busiest day in 8 years [GQXGFBJ]
(Updates with lunch close, details) By Edwin Chan
HONG KONG, Jan 4 (Reuters) - Hong Kong shares fell on Thursday after relishing record highs in each of the past five sessions, as investors cashed out and dumped energy stocks such as PetroChina Co. Ltd. <0857.hk> because of sliding oil prices.
Energy stocks ranked among the most heavily traded, on a day when overall turnover soared to HK$76.51 billion (US$9.83 billion) -- the highest turnover posted since Aug. 28, 1998. Analysts, calling the share retreat a much-needed correction, expect the market to stumble through a consolidation for days or even weeks to come before essaying another rally.
Top Asian oil producer PetroChina and smaller rival CNOOC Ltd. <0883.hk> tanked about 4 percent, mirroring losses among Asian peers after oil
The benchmark Hang Seng Index <.HSI> fell to 20,025.58 as a morning slide steepened, just a day after setting a life's high of 20,554.58 on Wednesday.
Hong Kong-listed Chinese companies <.HSCE> -- star performers over the past week amid speculation that more of the nation's corporations listed in the city would seek mainland listings -- dived 3.9 percent to 10,347.67. "These kinds of gyrations, we've been expecting all along. The overall market was lifted higher not by fundamentals, but by speculation and short-term punting," said Alex Tang, research director at Core-Pacific Yamaichi.
"Major players are offloading their shares, and the sharp decline reflects profit-taking," he said, adding that the main index should find support at 19,500.
PetroChina
Hutchison Telecommunications <2332.hk> dived 5.6 percent to HK$18.76 despite news that India's Hinduja Group had joined Vodafone Group Plc.
But Hutchison Telecom is still up more than 10 percent from the start of December, when talk of competing bids for its majority-owned Indian arm began circulating. Please click on [nBOM138393] for a full story.
Industrial and Commercial Bank of China <1398.hk> <601398.ss> dived 4.3 percent to HK$4.93. It racked up a record high of HK$5.18 on Wednesday.
That run followed news that China's largest lender had agreed to buy 90 percent of PT Bank Halim Indonesia in its first overseas acquisition.
SMIC <0981.hk>, the world's third-largest microchip foundry, backpedalled 1.6 percent to HK$1.21 after having risen some 21 percent in the few sessions since the start of the year. Its U.S. stock surged 22 percent on Wednesday, which a Bank of America analyst attributed to talk it could become a takeover target.
Other analysts said SMIC's rally pointed to nothing other than rotational buying into a long-underperforming manufacturing sector.
