Today’s Economic Releases Compiled by Steven Hansen, Publisher:

The number of CEO changes at U.S. companies hit the highest total for a single month on record in May with 224, up 52% from the 147 in April. May’s total is up 49% from the 150 CEOs who left their posts in the same month one year prior. May’s total is the highest total for a month since Challenger began tracking CEO exits in 2002, after three consecutive months where CEO exits were the highest for that month on record. The next highest month for CEO exits occurred in January 2019 when 219 CEOs left their posts.
Led by declines in production-related indicators, the Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) decreased to –0.15 in May from +0.14 in April (this is volatile and the 3-month moving average is used for economic forecasting). Two of the four broad categories of indicators used to construct the index decreased from April, and three of the four categories made negative contributions in May. The index’s three-month moving average, CFNAI-MA3, increased to –0.14 in May from –0.20 in April. Note that these values show a modestly expanding economy as periods of economic expansion have historically been associated with values of the CFNAI-MA3 above –0.70.

In the week ending June 17, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial unemployment claims 4-week moving average was 255,750, an increase of 8,500 from the previous week’s revised average. This is the highest level for this average since November 13, 2021 when it was 260,000. The previous week’s average was revised up by 500 from 246,750 to 247,250.

Existing-home sales rose insignificantly month-over-month in May 2023, with gains in the South and West and declined in the Northeast and Midwest regions of the U.S. Sales in all four regions combined fell 20.4% year-over-year. The median existing-home price declined by 3.1% from May 2022.

The Kansas City Fed manufacturing area declined further in June 2023. The month-over-month composite index was -12 in June, down from -1 in May and from -10 in April. This indicates a contraction in manufacturing activity.

The Conference Board Leading Economic Index® (LEI) for the U.S. declined by 0.7 percent in May 2023 to 106.7, following a decline of 0.6 percent in April. The LEI is down 4.3 percent over the six-month period between November 2022 and May 2023—a steeper rate of decline than its 3.8 percent contraction over the previous six months from May to November 2022. Justyna Zabinska-La Monica, Senior Manager, Business Cycle Indicators, at The Conference Board said a recession is coming:

The US LEI continued to fall in May as a result of deterioration in the gauges of consumer expectations for business conditions, ISM® New Orders Index, a negative yield spread, and worsening credit conditions. The US Leading Index has declined in each of the last fourteen months and continues to point to weaker economic activity ahead. Rising interest rates paired with persistent inflation will continue to further dampen economic activity. While we revised our Q2 GDP forecast from negative to slight growth, we project that the US economy will contract over the Q3 2023 to Q1 2024 period. The recession likely will be due to continued tightness in monetary policy and lower government spending.

How Renewable Energy Prosumers Are Decentralizing The Power Grid

The spread of renewable energy has changed the way that our grids operate. Variable energy sources such as wind and solar require major upgrades to the existing power grid that would allow for increased efficiency and flexibility. And it’s not just mass-scale solar and wind farms that are complicating the functionality of the grid. Energy generation is becoming increasingly decentralized and localized as people install residential solar panels, batteries, and other grid-connected residential infrastructure, creating challenges as…

Nuclear Fusion Project Sees Cost Overruns, More Delays

The old joke that nuclear fusion is perpetually a decade away may seem unfair, but the world’s largest fusion project is once again facing more delays and billions in cost overruns. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, or ITER, has suffered at the hands of disrupted supply chains and faulty parts. And now, the project’s hopes of achieving fusion by next year is in serious jeopardy. The project has seen a number of setbacks—including Covid-19. When all its ducks were finally in a row again post-Covid, the project…

Hot Weather Sends Ripples Through Natural Gas Markets

A year ago, Europe was in the midst of an energy crisis as the continent struggled to adapt to a new post-Russian gas reality. TTF prices, the European benchmark for natural gas, spiraled higher throughout the summer and peaked in late August, with all energy users affected, from major industries to individual households. So far in 2023, natural gas in Europe has stolen fewer headlines, with prices predominantly drifting downwards since December and returning to levels last seen in 2021. Last week, however, was marked with volatile trading on TTF…

U.S. Department Of Energy Splashes $9.2B On Ford EV Batteries

The U.S. Department of Energy is gearing up to divvy out a $9.2 billion loan to a Ford Motor JV to finance EV battery plants. The loan comes courtesy of the Inflation Reduction Act—a massive spending bill designed to earmark monies in part that will be used to help spur clean energy projects. The $11.4 billion JV known as BlueOval SK was finalized last year, and is set to construct three battery plants: two in Kentucky and one in Tennessee. Ford is set to contribute $7 billion to the BlueOval project, and South Korean battery maker SK will…

How Sunlight Is Transforming Waste Into Energy

University of Cambridge researchers have demonstrated how carbon dioxide can be captured from industrial processes – or even directly from the air – and transformed into clean, sustainable fuels using just the energy from the Sun. The report describing the research has been published in the journal Joule. The research team developed a solar-powered reactor that converts captured CO2 and plastic waste into sustainable fuels and other valuable chemical products. In tests, CO2 was converted into syngas, a key building block for sustainable…

Soaring Car Prices Put American Auto Loans Underwater

Millions of Americans who took out loans to purchase overpriced used vehicles during the pandemic are at risk of going underwater. Financing costs are soaring, and used car values are sliding, culminating into a perfect storm as only the tip of the negative equity iceberg appears.  On Tuesday, credit reporting firm TransUnion and market researcher J.D. Power published a new report warning in recent quarters that used car loan-to-value ratios (LTVs) at origination have “trended in the wrong direction for consumers.”  Originating…

Indian Solar Giant To Invest $1.5B In New U.S. Factories

A venture group backed by India’s second-largest solar energy company, Vikram Solar, will invest up to $1.5 billion in the U.S. solar energy supply chain, with the first investments going to a factory in Colorado next year, according to an exclusive Reuters report.  The $250 million Colorado facility will be capable of producing 2 gigawatts (GW) of modules a year initially and double the capacity over time and will also create more than 900 jobs.  Newly formed VSK Energy LLC will leverage India’s extensive solar manufacturing know-how…

Navigating Georgia’s Potential Ascent To The EU

This week, the European Commission will give an “oral update” on how Georgia, Ukraine, and Moldova are faring on their respective EU membership paths. This update will first be given to ambassadors of the 27 EU member states in Brussels on June 21, and then in Stockholm when the European affairs ministers from all the bloc’s capitals meet for an informal EU general affairs council. Don’t expect this update to be very detailed; it is essentially a midterm review of the proper EU enlargement package that the European Commission will present in the…

EU Targets Russia’s Trading Partners With Latest Sanctions Package

European Union governments have agreed to an 11th package of sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine aimed largely at stopping other countries and companies from circumventing previously imposed sanctions. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the new package will “deal a further blow to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s war machine with tightened export restrictions, targeting entities supporting the Kremlin,” she said on June 21 after the Swedish Presidency of the EU Council announced that…

Oil Falls Despite Moderate Draw In Crude Inventories

Crude oil prices were little changed today after the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported an inventory decline of 3.8 million barrels for the week to June 16. At 463.3 million barrels, the EIA said, inventories were around the five-year average for this time of the year. Last week’s inventory level change compared with a substantial build of almost 8 million barrels estimated for the previous week. In fuels, the authority estimated modest inventory builds. Gasoline stocks added 500,000 barrels in the week to…

Mysterious Saudi Oil Tanker Cluster Off Suez Starts To Clear

A cluster of mostly Saudi supertankers loaded with oil that has been idling off Egypt’s Red Sea coast for weeks has shown signs of starting to clear as two of the 11 tankers are no longer anchored near the Ain Sukhna oil terminal, according to tanker tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. As of last Friday, 10 very large crude carriers (VLCCs) carrying around 20 million barrels of oil were floating off Ain Sukhna and another two supertankers were heading to the same location, Vortexa data showed on June 16.    All 10 floating supertankers…

UAE’s ADNOC Eyes Expansion Of Downstream Activity In Europe

Abu Dhabi’s ADNOC has made a preliminary takeover proposal for German chemical group Covestro, a German chemical group, as part of its strategic plans to leverage market developments. While no official offer has been made yet, the proposal is estimated to be around €10 billion ($10.9 billion), valuing Covestro at nearly €11 billion. ADNOC’s interest in Covestro aligns with its goal to become more sustainable, although any potential deal would likely involve keeping Covestro’s operations separate from ADNOC.  Although a full…

Oil Prices Dip As Further Interest Rate Hikes Loom

Oil prices slumped by 2% early on Thursday after Fed Chair Jerome Powell told Congress that further interest rate hikes are coming in the second half of the year after a pause last week. As of 8:11 a.m. EDT on Thursday, ahead of EIA’s weekly inventory report, the U.S. benchmark, WTI Crude, was trading at $71.12, down by 1.92% on the day.

Church Of England Ditches Big Oil Stocks Over Climate Goals Failure

The Church of England will now exclude from its portfolio BP, Shell, ExxonMobil, TotalEnergies, Eni, Equinor, Ecopetrol, Occidental Petroleum, Pemex, Repsol, and Sasol, “after concluding that none are aligned with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement, as assessed by the Transition Pathway Initiative (TPI).” Back in 2021, the Church of…

Iran’s Booming Oil Industry Adds Urgency To Nuclear Negotiations

Over the last few years, Iran has increasingly ignored sanctions imposed on its oil and gas industry by the U.S. by choosing to develop new energy partnerships and increase its oil exports. The U.S. has largely overlooked these actions in the hope that Iran will eventually sign a new nuclear deal, a hope that is yet to come to fruition. And now Iran’s oil exports are reaching new highs. So, will the U.S. start imposing stronger sanctions on Iranian oil and gas if no progress is seen in nuclear talks or will it continue to look the other way?…

Ghosts Of 2000 And 2007 Market Tops Are Absent Today

Authored by Simon White, Bloomberg macro strategist,

Today’s stock market is exhibiting few of the warning signs that were present at the market tops in 2000 and 2007.

There is a growing cottage industry in comparing today’s equity market to the bursting of the tech bubble in 2000 and the financial crisis beginning in 2007. But it is the differences that are more notable than the similarities.

If today’s market does go on to make new lows, it’s unlikely to be for the same set of reasons as in those two prior episodes. Cautious bullishness is therefore advised.

It’s obviously handy if you can gauge when a market top is close. Each one is different, but they often tend to share several features. Signs of corporate exuberance; valuations at extreme levels; weak leading economic data that is worsening; and sentiment and positioning that are very stretched are all common signs a peak is near.

The 2000 and 2007 market tops are canonical in many respects, but several key features of today’s market are sufficiently different to render any comparisons inadequate:

  • Less corporate excess as the effects of rate hikes are dampening activity
  • Liquidity and financial conditions are improving, not deteriorating
  • More supportive technicals
  • Sentiment and positioning are less extreme

Both 2000 and 2007 were marked by extremes in corporate behavior that are not as marked today.

Mania Hits Used Farm Equipment Market As Combine Prices Hit Record

The cost of farm equipment continues to soar. And it’s not just fancy new tractors and combines with all bells and whistles, like GPS, automation, remote operation, sensors, diagnostics, screens, cameras, and air conditioners, but also ones that are one or two decades old with fewer microchips.

One reason the second-hand market for large and small tractors and combines is hot could be due to supply chain issues of procuring a new tractor. However, we have shown most snarls in global supply chains have normalized in recent quarters.

The second and most likely reason is that farmers are ditching new high-tech tractors with higher capital and maintenance costs. It’s widely known in the farming community that older tractors have less technology which makes it easier to work on and repair faster.

Consider, for instance, how John Deere equipped its newest tractors with sophisticated technology but didn’t give farmers the tools to fix their own equipment, setting off the right-to-repair debate. Deere finally caved earlier this year by giving farmers the tools they needed.

A proprietary used farm equipment price tracker published by Jefferies showed clients this week that “used farm equipment shows continued strong pricing as we move through 2023.”

Jefferies scraped used equipment website MachineFinder. Its analysts found large farm equipment was up 13% year-over-year in June, while small farm equipment was up 11.4%. The most significant price move was a 42.% jump in combines.

Energy Regulator Claims Canadian Oil Production Will Plunge 76% By 2050

By Alex Kimani of OilPrice.com,

The Canada Energy Regulator has issued a grim outlook that the country’s oil production will plunge 76% by 2050 thanks to the world moving to the clean energy transition, marking the first time the regulator has provided a long-term forecast for Canada’s crude output. The energy regulator has also predicted that global fossil fuel usage will decline by 65% between now and 2050.

The short-term investment outlook for Canada’s Oil Patch is just as bearish, with analysts predicting that earnings for the industry will decline 19% in 2023, in large part due to falling gas prices.

Debt or equity mutual fund: Which one should investors choose?

Debt mutual fund schemes have outperformed equity mutual funds in recent months, benefiting from inflows totalling INR 1.5 lakh crore ($22bn) during April and May, compared to just over INR 7,200 crores across all equity mutual fund categories. Adil Shetty, the CEO of BankBazaar.com, suggested that equity underperformance strayed from a variety of reasons: investor liquidity needs, profit-taking as markets edge towards new highs, and higher bond yields making debt funds more attractive. Nonetheless, experts have cautioned against an investment exclusively in debt funds and urge rebalancing portfolios to reduce risk and boost wealth.
