Today’s Highlights:

US Stocks Edge Higher: On Wednesday, US stocks mostly rose as Wall Street reacted positively to new consumer price data. Inflation Data: The Consumer Price Index (CPI) indicated that price increases remained steady in July, with consumer prices rising 2.9% year-over-year, marking the first time headline inflation has dipped below 3% since 2021. Core inflation, excluding food and energy, rose 3.2% year-over-year, aligning with Wall Street forecasts. Impact on Federal Reserve Policy: The inflation data strengthens the case for a possible interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. The Producer Price Index, which measures wholesale inflation, rose 2.2% year-over-year, close to the Fed’s 2% target. These signals suggest the Fed might be closer to a rate cut, with traders speculating on whether the cut will be 25 or 50 basis points.

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

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) declined modestly from 3.0% year-over-year in June to 2.9% in July 2024. The index for all items less food and energy also modestly declined from 3.3% year-over-year in June to 3.2% in July 2024. Looking at the individual components, they were mixed and the bottom line is that together they added up to little change in the CPI. You need to step back to understand that in June 2023, the CPI stood at 3.1% and 13 months later the CPI stands at 2.9%. IMO, nothing short of a recession will force a drastic change in inflation. For the time being, it is endemic in the economy. 

The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) has released the 11th edition of its quadrennial report, “Small Business Problems and Priorities,” based on a nationwide survey of small business owners. This 2024 report highlights the challenges faced by small businesses, focusing on 75 critical issues impacting Main Street. Key findings from the report include:

  • Cost Pressures: The “Cost of Health Insurance” continues to be the top issue for small business owners since 1986. The “Cost of Supplies/Inventories” has risen significantly in importance due to historic inflation, moving from 12th place in 2020 to 2nd in 2024. Additionally, the costs of fuels and electricity are significant concerns, with “Interest Rates” also rising dramatically in importance from 56th to 13th place since 2020.
  • Tax-Related Issues: “Federal Taxes on Business Income” is the most severe tax-related problem, ranked 4th, with concerns about the potential expiration of the Small Business Deduction in 2025. “State Taxes on Business Income” is also a critical issue for many business owners.
  • Uncertainty: Economic and governmental uncertainties have increased in importance. “Uncertainty over Economic Conditions” is now the 3rd most severe problem, while “Uncertainty over Government Actions” ranks 8th. Additionally, finding qualified employees remains a critical issue, ranking 5th.

The report underscores the need for policymakers to address these challenges to support small businesses, which employ nearly half of the private sector workforce.

The Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach which account for 40% of the high value container shipments in and out of the U.S. had a significant increase in July 2024. Imports are up 47% year-over-year whilst exports are up 10% year-over-year. This suggests the U.S. economy is strengthening and/or manufacturing is declining and being replaced by imports.

Armenia-Azerbaijan Peace Talks Progress Despite Lingering Hurdles

Armenia and Azerbaijan have succeeded in removing one major obstacle, but large potholes remain on the road to a durable peace deal between the longtime enemies.

The matter of extraterritorial rights for Azerbaijan concerning what is known as the Zangezur corridor had been a sticking point in ongoing peace negotiations.…

Brent Crude Falls Below $80

The U.S. crude oil benchmark, WTI reversed gains from earlier this week on Wednesday, responding to an unexpected build in U.S. crude stockpiles after a series of drawdowns, and as an Iranian attack on Israel appears to have been temporarily shelved for leverage.  At 3:03 p.m. ET, Brent crude was trading down 0.90%, just below the $80 mark, while WTI was trading down 1.44% at $77.22. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) earlier on Wednesday released its weekly inventory report, showing a 1.4-billion-barrel increase in stockpiles for…

Jet Fuel Demand Recovery Grinds to a Halt

After an optimistic start to the summer that sent jet fuel demand soaring, analysts now caution that global jet fuel demand is set for a slowdown in tandem with consumer spending, with the potential to weigh heavily on oil prices. Weaker-than-expected consumption in the United States and China is now putting the brakes on fuel demand growth, which typically accounts for around 7% of global oil demand, as reported by Reuters.  Based on Goldman Sachs data, as reported by Reuters, global jet fuel demand through July this year averaged around…

U.S. Inflation Drops Below 3%, Boosting Hopes of an Interest Rate Cut

US inflation reached its lowest since March 2021 in July, coming in at just 2.9 percent and further strengthening the case for an interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve. Analysts had expected US inflation in July to come in at three percent, unchanged from where it had fallen to in June.

Russia Extends Gasoline Export Ban Until the End of 2024

Russia is extending its ban on gasoline exports from October to the end of December 2024, as it seeks to keep domestic supply stable amid seasonal demand and scheduled repairs at refineries, the Russian government said on Wednesday. In the autumn of 2023, Russia banned exports of diesel and gasoline in an effort to stabilize domestic fuel prices in the face of soaring prices and shortages as crude oil rallied and the Russian ruble weakened. Prior to implementing the ban, Russia had raised mandatory supply volumes for motor gasoline and…

Mortgage Refi Activity Jump Most Since 2020 As Lenders See Gloom Ending

Mortgage lenders have endured a brutal 2.5-year period of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hiking cycle, with a high rate environment pressuring refinance applications to multi-decade lows. However, those lenders who weathered the downturn—dodging widespread layoffs, industry consolidation, and scraped by on Ramen Noodles and Zyn pouches—are now seeing a serious surge in activity as mortgage rates slide on rising recession probabilities.

For the week ending August 9, the Mortgage Bankers Association’s refinancing index jumped a whopping 34.5% to a more than two-year high of 889.3.

The refinancing index’s weekly change recorded the biggest weekly change since the first week of March 2020, a period in time when the Fed slammed interest rates to the zero lower bound in response to the China virus.

Watch: Tulsi Gabbard Suing Biden/Harris Admin For Placing Her On Terrorist Watch List

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,.

Former Democratic Representative Tulsi Gabbard is taking legal action against the Biden/Harris Administration after she discovered that she has essentially been placed on a terrorist watch list.

Gabbard, a military veteran, had it brought to her attention by Federal Air Marshal whistleblowers that she has been marked under the Quiet Skies program, a TSA scheme that seeks to identify travellers who may pose a risk to aviation security.

Those on this watchlist are not banned from flying, but are subject to enhanced searches and surveillance at airports, including having armed Air Marshals accompanying them on flights.

Make America Socialist

Authored by James Rickards via DailyReckoning.com,

When a relatively unknown individual steps on the political stage as a candidate for high office, both sides race to “define” the candidate and stamp his image in the public mind.

Since the Democrats knew they would pick Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota for their VP candidate, they had time to pre-produce the public image.

He’s not particularly fit or good-looking. No problem! They pushed him as a folksy, down-to-earth Midwestern type who could relate to everyday Americans and understand their problems.

Maybe he’s a bit on the heavy side but that’s OK, so are millions of Americans, and it just shows he likes to chow down on popular meals like burgers, hot dogs, chili and whatever else you might find at a barbecue.

Well, it took the Republicans a few days to catch up, do the needed research and tell us about the real Tim Walz. It turns out he is one of the most far-left radical politicians in the history of America.
