Click here to read our current Economic Forecast – April 2024 Economic Forecast: Economy Marginally Improving But Growth Will Be Weak

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

The Philly Fed Manufacturing survey shows activity in the region continued to expand this month with the diffusion index for current general activity rose 12 points to 15.5 in April, its third consecutive positive reading and highest reading since April 2022. The survey’s indicators for general activity, new orders, and shipments all rose. However, the employment index remained negative. Both price indexes continue to suggest overall price increases. Most future activity indicators declined but continue to suggest that firms expect growth over the next six months. Historically, the Philly Fed Manufacturing survey has been the most positive of all the regional fed manufacturing surveys, and it likely that manufacturing has been contracting for so long that year-over-year comparisons will shortly be positive.

Existing-home sales fell 3.7% year-over-year as affordability continues to take its toll on existing homes. The median existing-home sales price rose 4.8% from March 2023. The inventory of unsold existing homes is 3.2 months’ supply at the current monthly sales pace. NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun stated:

Though rebounding from cyclical lows, home sales are stuck because interest rates have not made any major moves. There are nearly six million more jobs now compared to pre-COVID highs, which suggests more aspiring home buyers exist in the market.

In the week ending April 13, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial unemployment claims 4-week
moving average was 214,500, unchanged from the previous week’s revised average. The previous week’s average was
revised up by 250 from 214,250 to 214,500.

The Conference Board Leading Economic Index® (LEI) for the U.S. decreased by 0.3 percent in March 2024 to 102.4 (2016=100), after increasing by 0.2 percent in February. Over the six-month period between September 2023 and March 2024, the LEI contracted by 2.2 percent—a smaller decrease than the 3.4 percent decline over the previous six months. Justyna Zabinska-La Monica, Senior Manager, Business Cycle Indicators, at The Conference Board added:

February’s uptick in the U.S. LEI proved to be ephemeral as the Index posted a decline in March. Negative contributions from the yield spread, new building permits, consumers’ outlook on business conditions, new orders, and initial unemployment insurance claims drove March’s decline. The LEI’s six-month and annual growth rates remain negative, but the pace of contraction has slowed. Overall, the Index points to a fragile—even if not recessionary—outlook for the U.S. economy. Indeed, rising consumer debt, elevated interest rates, and persistent inflation pressures continue to pose risks to economic activity in 2024. The Conference Board forecasts GDP growth to cool after the rapid expansion in the second half of 2023. As consumer spending slows, US GDP growth is expected to moderate over Q2 and Q3 of this year.

	New Russian Sanctions Spark Metal Market Volatility Via Metal Miner Copper prices continued their breakout during March, rising 4.25%. Prices then formed a second higher high on March 15, followed by a new higher low on March 27. The rally continued throughout April as prices climbed an additional 7.59%.

	Putin Looks To Capitalize As West Diverts Attention From Ukraine After several hours of silence following Iran’s unprecedented missile-and-drone attack on Israel, Russia issued its first formal reaction: The Foreign Ministry voiced what it said was Moscow’s “extreme concern” over “the latest dangerous escalation in the region.” There may be some truth to that statement, as analysts say that a full-scale war in the Middle East would not be in the interests of President Vladimir Putin’s government. For now, though, it seems more likely that the Kremlin is enthusiastic… Read more at: https://oilprice.com/Geopolitics/International/Putin-Looks-To-Capitalize-As-West-Diverts-Attention-From-Ukraine.html
	Geothermal Energy: A Win-Win for Democrats and Republicans? Geothermal energy is at the precipice of a major breakthrough in the United States. As technology rapidly advances, it’s seeming more possible than ever that the once niche energy production method could soon scale up for mass deployment in nearly any environment. Pilot projects are taking off across the country as federal funding rolls in for research and development of these new methods, but the future of geothermal remains mired in political uncertainty. While it currently enjoys bipartisan support, many pundits worry that a… Read more at: https://oilprice.com/Alternative-Energy/Geothermal-Energy/Geothermal-Energy-A-Win-Win-for-Democrats-and-Republicans.html
	White House Aims to Keep Gasoline Prices in Check In a bid to stabilize gas prices amid the upcoming summer driving season and Presidential election, the Biden administration wants to ensure that the United States remains on a steady economic course. White House economic adviser Lael Brainard emphasized the administration’s commitment to maintaining gas prices within current ranges during a statement on Thursday, according to Reuters, without elaborating on how that would be achieved. In the past, steps to keep gasoline prices in check included attempts to strong-arm OPEC/OPEC+ to boost crude… Read more at: https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/White-House-Aims-to-Keep-Gasoline-Prices-in-Check.html
	Arab Nations Act Against Iran-Israel Escalation As the world anxiously awaited the outcome of Iran’s large-scale attack against Israel, some Arab countries had already taken steps to blunt its impact. When the dust from the April 13 attack settled, the vast majority of the hundreds of drones and missiles launched by Iran had been shot down — by Israel, its Western allies, and Jordan, despite its strong opposition to Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza. At least two other Arab states — Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.), which have been highly critical of the Gaza war and have joined… Read more at: https://oilprice.com/Geopolitics/International/Arab-Nations-Act-Against-Iran-Israel-Escalation.html
	China Scooped Up Record Volumes of Russian Oil In March China scooped up record volumes of crude oil imports from Russia in March, adding 790,000 barrels per day to its stockpiles, up from 570,000 bpd in January and February, Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported on Thursday, citing official Chinese import data. Beijing’s efforts to boost its strategic stockpiles is simultaneously skewing the country’s oil demand picture, with record imports of Russian oil contributing to a false picture of the country’s overall demand, Russell notes. First-quarter numbers for the year… Read more at: https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/China-Scooped-Up-Record-Volumes-of-Russian-Oil-In-March.html
	U.S. Shale Oil Production Growth Is Slowing Down At the start of this week, following Iran’s missile attack on Israel, oil prices inched up. The key word here was “inched”. The attack was a first; it came from the fourth-largest oil producer in OPEC, and it targeted a country notorious for its military prowess. Yet prices only inched up rather than soaring. One could argue this was because the situation was apparently defused quickly, with neither of the sides willing to engage in an escalation, but this may only be part of the reason for oil prices’ lukewarm reaction. The other reason is U.S.… Read more at: https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/US-Shale-Oil-Production-Growth-Is-Slowing-Down.html
	Petrobras’ Amazon Drilling Plan Faces Growing Opposition From Locals While Petrobras is touting a potential start to drilling in an environmentally sensitive area offshore the mouth of the Amazon River, indigenous communities are increasingly opposing the exploration plans of Brazil’s state-owned oil giant, which has yet to receive an all-clear license to drill, Reuters reports, citing interviews with locals and memos and documents it has reviewed. After spending a decade selling off many assets outside Brazil, Petrobras is now shifting its strategy to portfolio diversification, keeping the focus on the… Read more at: https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Petrobras-Amazon-Drilling-Plan-Faces-Growing-Opposition-From-Locals.html
	Gold Surges Past S&P 500 in Five-Year Growth Demand for gold is high, with Costco reportedly selling up to $200 million worth of gold bars every month in the United States.Gold is considered a unique asset due to its enduring value, historical significance, and application in various technologies like computers, spacecraft, and communications equipment. Commonly regarded as a “safe haven asset”, gold is something investors typically buy to protect themselves during periods of global uncertainty and economic decline.

	Kazakhstan to Consider Building Oil Pipeline in the Caspian Sea Kazakhstan, a non-OPEC oil producer part of the OPEC+ agreement, will consider building an oil pipeline in the Caspian Sea, Russian news agency Interfax reported on Thursday, quoting Kazakhstan’s Energy Ministry. The country is also considering the construction of another oil pipeline from Atyrau to Kuryk in the medium term, the Kazakh Energy Ministry said in response to questions. “The possibility of constructing an oil pipeline across the Caspian Sea floor will also be studied,” the ministry added, as carried by Interfax.… Read more at: https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Kazakhstan-to-Consider-Building-Oil-Pipeline-in-the-Caspian-Sea.html
	China Tightens Hold on Iraq’s Oil with Al-Faw Refinery Nearing Completion Back in early 2018 when rumours were rife that then-U.S. President Donald Trump was going to unilaterally withdraw his country from the ‘nuclear deal’ with Iran, China moved to position itself to occupy the vacuum that would be left in Iran and Iraq, at the very heart of the Middle East. Beijing knew that Iran continued to wield enormous influence over neighbouring Iraq, and that both together were the biggest oil and gas prize in the entire region, in addition to being at the vanguard of the Shia strand of Islam. In Iran’s case,… Read more at: https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/China-Tightens-Hold-on-Iraqs-Oil-with-Al-Faw-Refinery-Nearing-Completion.html
	High Interest Rates Could Slow Down the Energy Transition Renewable energy projects and emerging low-carbon technologies are more exposed to the current high interest rate environment globally, which could slow the pace of transition to clean energy, Wood Mackenzie said in a new report on Thursday. The rising interest rates in many major renewables markets in the past two years have significantly raised the cost of capital for new projects, the energy consultancy says. Global monetary policies are set to remain much higher in the coming decades than the near-zero interest rate period in… Read more at: https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/High-Interest-Rates-Could-Slow-Down-the-Energy-Transition.html
	Scotland Set to Abandon Interim 2030 Emissions Reduction Goal Scotland is expected to abandon a key interim target on its road to 2045 net zero as the government is expected to scrap a goal for reducing emissions by 75% by 2030, BBC Scotland News reports. The Scottish government is expected to announce changes to its climate change plan later on Thursday, but it will keep the net-zero target for 2045, according to the BBC. Scotland has a more ambitious target to reach net zero than the UK, which – like most developed economies – strives for net zero by 2050.

	Weak EV Market Dragged Down European Car Sales in March Europe’s new car sales fell in March for the first time this year, dragged down by a decline in electric vehicle (EV) registrations and the timing of the Easter holidays, the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association, ACEA, said on Thursday. All new car sales in the European Union car market dropped by 5.2% year-on-year to 1 million units in March, while passenger vehicle sales in Europe including non-EU members such as the UK and Norway fell by 2.8%, ACEA’s data showed.

	India Paid 16% Less for the Same Amount of Oil in FY 2023-24 India’s crude oil imports remained flat in the fiscal year 2023/2024 ended March 31, but the import bill of the world’s third-largest oil importer fell by almost 16% due to lower oil prices and record-high imports of cheaper Russian crude. Indian crude imports stood at 232.5 million metric tons in the 2023/2024 fiscal year, only marginally lower compared to the 232.7 million tons in imports in the previous fiscal year to March 31, 2023, data from the Indian Oil Ministry’s Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC) showed.… Read more at: https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/India-Paid-16-Less-for-the-Same-Amount-of-Oil-in-FY-2023-24.html

	Breaking Down The 2024 Bitcoin Halving: Implications & Predictions For Bitcoin Miners Authored by ‘El Sultan Bitcoin’ via Bitcoin Magazine, The Bitcoin halving event, a pivotal occurrence, is scheduled for April, 19 2024. This quadrennial event will reduce the block subsidy for Bitcoin miners from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC, thereby halving the reward that miners receive for their efforts. Such events have historically led to profound shifts in the mining landscape, potentially influencing various economic and operational facets of Bitcoin mining. ECONOMIC OUTLOOK AND MARKET PREDICTIONSAfter the halving, the immediate impact is a considerable decrease in miner revenue due to the reduced block subsidy.
