Today’s Highlights:

This week’s focus is on three major events:

This week is crucial for investors, featuring the Fed’s interest-rate decision, the July jobs report, and earnings from four of the “Magnificent Seven” mega cap companies. Investors are particularly focused on whether the recent stock pullback has ended and are weighing expectations for rate cuts against concerns about Big Tech’s AI-driven performance. Semiconductor stocks, especially Nvidia, lagged, with Nvidia’s shares dropping significantly. Investors are closely watching Microsoft’s quarterly report, which will be followed by earnings from Apple, Amazon, and Meta. The market is keen to see if substantial AI investments are beginning to yield returns, especially after a volatile July that saw investors shift from Big Tech to small caps. Additionally, Starbucks and AMD are set to report their earnings after the market close. Despite uncertainties surrounding AI, a trend has emerged where investors support companies that post weak results but indicate a positive business outlook. The Fed began its July policy meeting, with expectations that there will be no immediate change in borrowing costs but potential groundwork for a rate cut in September, following encouraging June inflation data.

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

The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. 20-City Composite posted a year-over-year increase of 6.8% in May 2024, dropping from a 7.3% increase in the previous month. New York reported the highest annual gain among the 20 cities with a 9.4% increase in May, followed by San Diego and Las Vegas with increases of 9.1% and 8.6%, respectively. Portland once again held the lowest rank for the smallest year-over-year growth, notching a 1.0% annual increase in May. From CoreLogic’s  Dr. Selma Hepp:

In May, the CoreLogic S&P Case-Shiller Index slowed for the second consecutive month, to a 5.9% year-over-year gain, after peaking at 6.5% in February and March. The slowing of yearly gains continues to reflect a residual comparison with the strong 2023 spring season, while also illustrating the impact of slowing housing demand on cooling price growth. The housing market experienced considerable cooling at the end of the spring home-buying season as mortgage rates pushed beyond the 7% benchmark – which seems to be a mental barrier for potential homebuyers in deciding to enter the home-buying process. June existing home sales activity, reflecting high April mortgage rates, slowed to the lowest since the Great Financial Crisis.

The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index® rose in July 2024 to 100.3 (1985=100), from a downwardly revised 97.8 in June. Consumer confidence has been little changed over the last 2 years. Dana M. Peterson, Chief Economist at The Conference Board added:

Confidence increased in July, but not enough to break free of the narrow range that has prevailed over the past two years. Even though consumers remain relatively positive about the labor market, they still appear to be concerned about elevated prices and interest rates, and uncertainty about the future; things that may not improve until next year.

The number of job openings was unchanged at 8.2 million on the last business day of June 2024. As the graph below shows, there is a correlation between job openings and employment gains. As the number of job openings is little changed – one would expect little change in employment growth when the July data is released later this week. Over the month, both the number of hires and total separations were little changed at 5.3 million and 5.1 million, respectively.

Colombia Struggles With Energy Crisis, Delays in Gas Projects

Colombia’s state oil company, Ecopetrol SA, announced that natural gas from its Caribbean offshore projects is unlikely to start flowing before 2029, two years later than initially expected. This delay is a significant concern for the country, which anticipates a substantial natural gas shortfall beginning next year. The current supply-demand gap is around 12% and is projected to increase to 30% by 2026, exacerbating the energy crisis. To address this, Ecopetrol is investing $300 million this year in offshore drilling, marking its highest annual…

Aluminum Prices Plummet Despite Green Energy Hype

Via Metal Miner   After aluminum prices increased in the spring and early summer, bulls became exuberant, believing that “green” initiatives like EVs, renewables, and associated power transmission technology would push the metal price higher. However, contrary to their expectations, the LME price continued to fall steadily since early June, a trend mirrored on China’s SHFE. This decline leaves aluminum buyers unsure about future prices. In fact, many must now question what factors are really driving the market if demand from…

9 of 10 of the World’s Busiest Ports Are in Asia

In 2024, nine of the world’s 10 busiest ports are located in Asia, underscoring the eastward shift in global trade flows. Due to supply chain shifts and deeper integration, intraregional trade within Asia has grown significantly. In the 1990s, over 70% of Asian exports by value went beyond the region, with containers being shipped back mostly empty. By comparison, roughly 60% of exports in Asia are traded within the region today. This graphic, via Visual Capitalist’s Dorothy Neufeld, shows the busiest ports in the world in 2024, based on…

What’s the Ideal Oil Price for a U.S. President?

The world has probably not been in such a pervasively dangerous position since the end of the Second World War, so the question of who leads the world’s leading power has never been more critical. As oil is a crucial determinant of every country’s financial and economic future, it plays a vital role in shaping the domestic and international politics of the world’s major oil producing and consuming countries. And because the stakes are so high, the energy policies of the new U.S. president – Kamala Harris or Donald Trump…

Phillips 66 Tops Forecasts Despite Profit Slump

As widely expected, the second-quarter profit of Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) came in significantly lower than the year-ago period, but one of the biggest U.S. refiners beat analyst estimates as high capacity utilization and strong midstream and chemicals earnings partially offset weaker refining margins. Phillips 66 reported on Tuesday adjusted earnings of $984 million for the second quarter, down from $1.77 billion for the same period of 2023. Adjusted earnings per share fell to $2.31 in Q2 2024 from $3.87 EPS for the second quarter last year. Despite…

Motiva to Restart Gasoline-Producing Unit at Port Arthur Refinery

The Global Backdrop Is Bananas

By Michael Every of Rabobank

The market focus is this week’s confluence of Fed, BOJ, and BOE meetings. However, if you think there is room for uncertainty there, consider the global backdrop which they operate in – which is bananas, both in terms of the headlines and the banana skins it presents for policymakers.

In Europe, it’s ongoing sabotage in France and Germany, and self-sabotage in Brussels. EU trade negotiators are planning for a ‘tariff-ic’ Trump presidency by offering a quick deal to buy more –(checks notes) “lobsters”– to put a dent in the vast bilateral trade deficit; or the EU will slap up to 50% tariffs on US imports – faster and higher than vs. China. Yet in a three-way Mexican stand-off between the US, EU, and China, a two-gunned EU is pointing one pistol at the US, and the other at its own head: The Good, The Bad, and the Smugly. As Michael Pettis notes, the EU trade surplus with the US is structural, so more US lobsters means fewer other imports as demand is fixed. Moreover, the US exports commodities to Europe –is the EU going to tariff LNG?!– while Europe exports luxuries, and autos and pharma that can be Made in America. Europe could shift to military Keynesianism and import US weapons to re-arm – but oddly won’t; yet Trump also decides whether to back NATO or leave a defenseless Europe to fend for itself. Does one need special training as a trade negotiator not to see these obvious facts, or th …

Kremlin Tells Venezuelan Opposition To ‘Accept Defeat’, Warns Against US Interference

The Kremlin on Tuesday issued a message to the Venezuelan opposition, saying it must accept that its candidate Edmundo Gonzalez lost the election that Nicolas Maduro has won a third term, after the results were certified by the country’s National Electoral Council.

No less than nine Latin American countries, including Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico have questioned the result or at least have shown some hesitancy to immediately recognize it. But Moscow has responded: “We see that the opposition does not want to accept its defeat. But we believe it must do so,” according to the words of Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

Peskov further warned other global power against interfering in Venezuela’s internal politics. The statement came within 24 hours of Maduro delivering a televised speech wherein he warned an externally-sponsored ‘color revolution’ is afoot.

Maduro Tells Brazil He’ll Soon Release Ballot Records To World; Opposition Official Arrested

Update(1425ET): The Brazilian administration of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva had as of Monday said he wouldn’t congratulate Venezuela’s Maduro for now following Sunday’s election. “The Brazilian government welcomes the peaceful nature of yesterday’s [Sunday’s] elections in Venezuela and is following the counting process closely,” a statement had said. Maduro has responded to the leftist leader, saying he’ll release election data with full transparency to the world:

Nicolas Maduro pledged to meet international demands to release full voting records from Venezuela’s election during a meeting with a top adviser to Brazil’s Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, according to a Brazilian government official familiar with the matter.

Maduro met Celso Amorim, Lula’s chief foreign affairs adviser, at the Miraflores Palace in Caracas on Monday, amid mounting pressure from Brazil, Colombia and other nations to publicly verify the results of a Sunday election in which he was declared the winner and the opposition claimed fraud.

At this moment, no less than nine …

Three Palestinian Terror Suspects Detained At Southern Border As Agents Lament Lack Of Resources

Three Palestinian terror suspects were detained at the Southern Border earlier this month, the New York Post reported this week.

The report says the terrorists were “found to have possible ties to terrorist organizations”. One migrant had photos on his phone that included a “masked man holding an AK-47 rifle”, according to law enforcement.

The Post stated that Federal authorities in the San Diego sector apprehended three Palestinians and a Turkish migrant, all suspected of terror group ties. These individuals were among dozens of migrants who surrendered to border agents, sources said.

An investigation into the migrants is ongoing. They have been transferred to ICE, and the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force is involved.

This incident highlights security threats entering the US via the southern border, especially in San Diego, according to the Post. Overwhelmed Border Patrol agents, lacking tools to fully vet migrants, rely mainly on US terror watchlists and resources, without access to international databases.

One agent said: “Knowing who these guys are, we have, like, no access to anything international. Like, we really don’t and it kind of sucks.”
