One industry’s gain is often another industry’s loss. Consider gas price reform in China. The country’s top economic planning body has just said that it will raise natural gas prices at the city gate for industry by 15 per cent to Rmb1.95 ($0.32) per cubic metre from July 10. This is the first big rise in three years and it pushed the share price of China’s largest producer and importer of natural gas, PetroChina, to gain 7 per cent yesterday. Meanwhile, the shares of one of the country’s biggest distributors, Hong Kong and China Gas, fell 1 per cent.
